The advantage of not having to cut weight...

[MOREBASS]

Okay, so with the next two boxing Mega Fights looming, I have seen many talk about the disadvantages to the naturally smaller man in the ring...


...but what I haven't heard many people talk about is the advantage of not having to kill yourself in making weight, and coming in at practically your natural weight..


How much of an advantage is it for a fighter to fight very close to his natural weight ?

Exactly, Marquez said so himself. "He said, I see this as an advantage, While Mayweather is making weight, all I have to worry about is training". He also said the weight wouldn't be a problem. Yet people want to baby the guy

De La Hoya said weight wouldn't be a problem either... obviously it was.
People lie to themselves too, you know.

Marquez walks around at 144, comes into the ring at 140-142. Mayweather comes into the ring 146-148. What I am saying is, Marquez isn't gonna be that much slower then before, he has faught at the weight.

if you dont have to make weight then you can spend more time working on a game plan...but if you have to GAIN weight that is just like making weight imo
