    Marquez's chin is no wher near as solid as Durans.
    Hopkins has a hard ass noggin as well.
    & Yes, Marquez looks good.. training. Who knows how good he'll look
    actually fighting.
    & as Nelson said, If Floyd is a Jr. Welterweight.. why not fight at that weight class
    to make things at least a little bit more even?
    He didn't fight a Jr. Welterweight because he can no longer make the limit.
    I see what your saying but any fighter would look to have an advantage over their opponent. As for Mayweather not being able to make 140, I strongly disagree. The difference between Mayweather, Cotto, SSM, Shane, Berto and Quintana is that Mayweather doesn't have to make 147, because he walks around at 147. I know for a fact Floyd could fight at Jr WW if he wanted to.

      Who knows? The official weigh-in is the day before the fight. That's what I can relate to. Fully clothed unofficial weigh-ins on Ellerby's bathroom scale counts for nought.

        He said it last time.. he wasn't comfortable at jr. ww & that he was a welter.
        oh and with your bernard hopkins comparison. when was the last time he fought a bigger fighter? true that he has moved up in weight but he's made smaller fighters come up and face him so that doesn't really compare to Marquez at all.

            Didn't B-Hop look good against Tarver. Wasn't he like 41 years old, skipped 168 and schooled Tarver.

                Floyd Jr. is taller than Miguel Cotto if he doesn't weigh-in more is cause of his diet and the fact the leaner he is the faster he can be.

                  When typing the f word, change the color of one of the letters in the word.

                  Credit to The Bringer, learned that from him.

                      A 5 lb weight difference

                      Floyd was outweighed by Oscar by 15+ lbs

                      If JMM is better than Floyd he will win this fight
