    Floyd is judged by different rules because he's so good and talks so much. JMM WANTED to fight Floyd at this weight no one is forcing him to do anything.

    TBH Floyd shouldn't get ragged on and JMM should be applauded for his bravery. This should be a good meeting of 2 of the best mental boxers in the game.

        Fight isnt at WW as someone said and Floyd is not a full blow welter either, ****ing Cotto/Mosley are thats why the come in at 160 fight night. Floyd on the other hand walks around at 147 and comes in at 147. If Marquez comes up a few more pounds and doesn't lose much speed this could be a very very good fight and weight/size wise there wont be much diff.

        Do you think Cotto/Pac is a complete mismatch cus Pac aint a WW too? and Cotto is a ****ing massive one (unlike Floyd). Cause most ppl dont and Pac is heavy betting Favourite? like i said is it simply Floyd is damn good and Cotto is not?

        Cause Marquez allready proved he is Pacs equal

          Marquez came up to 135 and performed ****ing amazing KTFO of Casyamor and Diaz. Floyds walk around weight is about 147 he comes in for fights vs Hatton, Judah, Baldo etc at 147 or so fight night. He is obviously not THAT big i swear if he and Pac ever face off the tale of the tape wont differ much.

          The fight is taking place at 144 at max Floyd is putting on 3 pounds or maybe even nothing come fight night, Marquez bulks up a little could hit round 140 or so and not lose much speed. So coem fight night u got a few pounds difference.

          Meanwhile another big fight between Cotto/Pac the difference come fight night will be way more with Pac at 147 or so and Cotto at 160. But this is fine because? i mean people say Pac is the favourite for the fight too.

          Is it because Mayweather is just so good? and Cotto and Marquez arent? honestly if Pac is able to beat Cotto with such a difference in weight, why cant Marquez beat Floyd?

          Add to all of what you said Money hasn't fought in 2 years.

            I think size-wise its fairer than PBF-Cotto/Mosley but Floyds skills elevate him above such things (much like Pac appears to be doing) and makes him competitive with bigger guys albeit often through big phases of potshotting.

            Although I do think the fact that JMM sometimes seems to go down easily may make this worse than the Corrales fight.

              It isn't and I don't care what falls where. If a guy can't come in at 147 it isn't a WW fight. It's a handicapped one.

                It's going to be an exhibition pretty much. Marquez will not win or even come close and you can quote me on that.

                    I think JMM has to knock Floyd out to win...Floyd winning sets up much higher profile fights for boxing as a sport than JMM does.

                      And why cant you comprehend that on the night the more important fighting weight JMM fights at is around 142-143 and Floyd fights at around 147-148 and Pac fights at 147 ,, as far as weight goes JMM vs Floyd is a pretty fair fight , much more so than Cotto vs Pac or Floyd vs Cotto or Williams or Mosley , and there lays the travesty in this because you fools are condemning this fight on weight and that is WRONG , a fighter is what he is give or take a few pounds , whether he drys out to 130 135 or 140 he will still rehydrate to his natural weight that he fights at , eg JMM Pac and Floyd all fight between 142-148 whether they weigh-in at 130 135 140 147 even in Floyds case 154 yet still was 148 on the night , you are the size you are .

                      JMM vs Floyd is an excellant fight , if Floyd dominates it has nothing to do with the few pounds he will have , although every pound is an advantage this fight is well within the realms of a fair fight size wise , you fellas that are bagging the fight are only doing it to hate on Floyd and thats obvious .
