If he came back and fought any legit WW he wouldn't be given the **** he is for cherry picking a lightweight, no matter how good he is it was a ***** move. For years people have been complaining about Floyd ducking the real WW's, and this move was icing on the cake. Two year lay off? Sure have a tune up match, but make it with a WW, not force a lightweight to fight at WW.

1. Marquez = 2 division below WW
2. Marquez adds more weight than the weight PBF looses
3. fight is at 144 lbs
4. pbf has balls to face marquez while pac has balls facing cotto;
5. marquez last fight was below 140 lbs , pac last fight has reached 140 lbs
6. pac > marquez ; cotto to pbf, i dont know but i know pbf dance more graceful than cotto and both are on WW
7. WW againts LW (pbf vs marquez) [ > , = , < ] WW againts LWW (cotto vs pac). choose which is greater or equal or lesser
i hope this makes it logical ... hopefully ..
and lastly, you can have a big rounds of tissue paper, for your tears ... peace !Comment

It's sad that a lightweight has to be the one to step up to the plate with Cotto when Floyd himself is supposed to be the guy at 147. Very sadddddd...Comment

this is deceptive in that JMM has largely made his claim to being one of the best p4p at 130 and below. Hell he has had only two fights above 130 and yet we expect him to hold onto the same skillset while going up above 140? a weight he has never fought at?
cmon. I agree with you the term fraud should not be thrown around on this fight BUT it goes both ways. On one hand you cannot possibly claim this to be an even match up when you simply do not know how JMM will handle being above 140 with no tune up to test this and no prior history of being larger than 140
again this is deceptive.Yet when Cotto fought Alfonzo Gomez or Michael Jennings earlier this year it was a-okay...
Cotto fought Gomez with the understanding that should he win a big summer match up with Margarito awaited. Most people here expected Cotto to wipeout Gomez and he did which made the fight a-ok as you put because it went as planned and it didn't jeopardize a much bigger fight down the road.
the Jennings fight was ok to me for several reasons
1. it was Cotto's first fight back from a devastating defeat NOT a retirement. That can weigh on a fighter so coming back against a guy of his level was okay for me
2. it was an independant PPV meaning that HBO or Showtime wasn't trying to shill this to us as if it were a big deal. It wasn't. He fought a guy who was no threat to him to get some of his confidence back and I am fine with that
3. Cotto fought Clottey immediately after. A top welterweight for years, Clottey is no slouch to have on your dockett
not necessarily I think quite a few people here made cases for him fighting a Collazo or Quintana type as his first fight back and being ok with it becauseIf Floyd came back and fought Michael Jennings on PPV like Cotto did he'd be crucified...
1. it was a full fledged welterweight
2. both are pretty good fighters
Manny isn't smaller than JMM nowadays stop using the "well he started at 106" theory. LOOK at both fighters and you will see Manny is CLEARLY the larger fighter now.Cotto gets no critisizm for fighting Pacquiao when Cotto is bigger then Floyd and Pac is smaller then Marquez?
lets put it this way
Manny seems to fit 140 his frame looks like it always does just a bit mroe fileld
JMM we have no clue and from the pics he looks like he might have bulked up too much.
to me I think no matter what people say about Floyd in a positive manner the nuthuggers will say its not enough. I think some of you guys whine more about the whining than the whiners to be honestIt didn't matter who Floyd choose to fight in his comeback people will still ***** about it...
sorry but Mayweather made the claim that he is the GOAT did he not? if so then he does fall under scrutiny that most fighters don'tIf he choose Cotto people will say, "oh now he wants to fight Cotto cuz he's damaged goods what a ***** Floyd is".... If he choose Pac then they'd say, "he's scared to fight a true welterweight"... And if he fought Shane then, "he's scared to fight Pacquiao.".....
um I know you jock Mayweather hard but didn't Manny take the same kind of **** for making Cotto accept all the stipulations thrown his way? see its part of being the top dog you as a fan of his should relish in that rather than cry about it
I mean **** Mayweather himself dont give a fuck why should you?
nah I only see one so farEveryone on this board is FULL OF ****Comment
