At 147 in the past, Floyd has always come in around 147 on fight night. The fight being at 144 makes me pick 4-6 pounds.
How much bigger will Mayweather be than Marquez on fight night?

mayweather will come in a few lbs. heavier fight night that's it.
mayweather will have sizeable reach and height advantages though.
the weight not so much.
the big difference will be floyd being used to fighting at 147 while it's new territory for jmm.Comment

The Problem is not the size of Mayweather.
The so called Problem is the size of Marquez.
The Popular belief in boxing about Mayweather is.
HIS opponents needs to bigger than him to have any kind of chance to beat Mayweather. ( ex. Castillo)
NOT SMALLER
NOT THE SAME SIZE
NOT ALITTLE BIT BIGGER
BUT A GOOD AMOUNT BIGGER.
Why does the opponent needs to be bigger than Mayweather to beat you might ask?
1. The opponents needs to be able withstand Mayweather Power as they tired to bull rush Mayweather.. Because nobody in their right mind is going to try and boxed Mayweather AND WIN.
So the only stragey critics see that can be successful against Mayweather is to Pressure Floyd, and smuther him.
BUT if that is the only stragey to beat Mayweather.
Than obviously a smaller fighter can not do that.
Jesus Chavez tryed and failed
Phillip N'dou tryed and failed
Henry Bruseles tryed and failed
Arturo Gatti tryed and failed
Ricky Hatton tryed and failed
As you see...Critics do not want to see Mayweather fight soembody his size or Smaller in which the opponent does not have the physical assests to Effectively pressure Mayweather and withstand Mayweather Punches.
Jose Luis Castillo WEIGH 149 in a lightweight fight against Mayweather.
when Mayweather weigh 140.
And Majority People Believe those 9 pounds were MAJORITY OF THE reason Castillo gave Mayweather Problems... and Those 9 pounds People Still believe are what is needed in order to give Mayweather problems. Thus.
Mayweather has to be at a Physical Weigh Disadvantage
in order for it to seem like Mayweather has a bigger chance to Lose.Last edited by Horus; 09-09-2009, 09:09 PM.Comment

If JMM was smart he would stay below 145 and let Mayweather blow up a lil bit...JMM should stay as low as he can to keep his speedComment
