Why don't we call the Floyd-Marquez fight what it really is?

    Those two are practically the same size. Floyd is a natural 130 pounder who's been fighting **** guys at higher weights.

    He's just as blown up a super feather as JMM is. He's just been at it longer.
    Ridiculous. Floyd has been at 147 or higher for the past 4 years. JMM is 36 years old and has been at 135 one year. Now he's asked to jump not one but 2 more weightclasses.

    JMM doesn't deserve to be this sacrificial lamb.

      Do you think Pac would be a sacrificial lamb when/if he fights Mayweather?

      I look at these guys and see them very similar in size.

      The size thing is getting too much play imo.

        Pac is proven at 147 but I'd rather he fought Mayweather at 140.

        Similar in size? If Floyd should make the same move as JMM he would be required to fight Pavlik at 158.

          JMM is 5'7, Floyd is 5'8.

          Pavlik is 6'2 and squeezes into mw.

          Just because Floyd moved up first doesn't make him the bigger man. He just chased the money before JMM.

          I disagree that Pac is proven at 47' also. Proven would have been if he beat Mosley, Margarito, or Cotto.

          He beat a dead man who hadn't fought at 47' since 2000.

            If JMM is a tuneup for floyd than so is Pac and Cotto.

            Lets not kid ourselves here.

              Boxing has weight divisions. Height is irrelevant.

              Floyd can't even make 143. He's a full-blown welter while JMM is barely a lightweight.

                  I dont seem to recall Shane Mosley or Roberto Duran having a problem with moving from 135 to 147 to challenge the best welterweight in the sport.

                    Pac beatin DLH did not prove he can handle an elite WW. Cotto should KO him and will look awful if he doesn't. JMM had his bluff called, and he's too much of a beast to back down. But this fight is bull**** Dap. As a member of the Cartel, I'm surprised you endorse this garbage. JMM deserves better than bein a cherrypicker's scapegoat my ******.

                      Will not be easy work for floyd. JMM's a real fighter. Once PBF realize this, I will not be surprise if they call this off.
