I'm sick of Floyd getting the double standard (Pac & Cotto fans GET IN HERE)

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.

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 because
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.

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 honest


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't

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 far

You damn well know he would get the same **** if he fought Quitana or Collazo... And fighting either on of them is a no no for PPV and this is a money game just as much as skill game... And this fight is with understanding that Floyd will fight the winner of Pac/Cotto or Shane Mosley next and Roger Mayweather has said this... So???

[ericsantos]

Okay what welterweight was available for a more challenging tune-up? Enlighten me

Cintron,quintana,berto,Judah(i wouldnt mind seen a rematch)

[Ekscape]

How could you want to see Floyd fight Collazo or Quitana more then Marquez?... Marquez deserves this fight

[Tidal]

pbf should have wait a day and see who was the winner of pac-hatton, if that is your logic of waiting.

[razor.thin]

your right, he should have fought ivan calderon instead.

[Ekscape]

^^^this.. and the fact that pac wanted cotto. cotto didn't call out pac looking for an easy fight. jmm has never fought above 135.. Pbf has fought at high as 154.

Floyd is probably the smallest 147pder he has Never came in a fight over a 150 pounds...

[syphillis]

How could you want to see Floyd fight Collazo or Quitana more then Marquez?... Marquez deserves this fight

And that's becuz he called him out, right?

[Ekscape]

And that's becuz he called him out, right?

No cuz he's a great fighter that deserves another shot at the p4p crown and beating Floyd is his only chance at getting Pac in the ring again... He deserves that... And I hope he wins
