24/7 is clearly doing its part just like Hatton and Oscar.

    In all fairness I fell for it too, with Hatton and even with Roy Jones, so I know how it goes haha.
    The Baldimir hype was in full effect too....Lampley , Mercahnt and Steward were all saying Baldi was to big for Floyd.

      Ugh, yet another Floyd-hater trying to discredit Floyd's victory in advance.

      The truth is that Floyd and Marquez are almost exactly the same size. It's just that people are so used to seeing Floyd fight opponents who were much bigger than him for years that by comparison Marquez looks too small. But Marquez is really one of the few fair fights Floyd has had in a long time.

      When Floyd beats Marquez down, it will be 100% because Floyd is so much more skilled, talented, intelligent, fast, and explosive. It has nothing to do with size, no matter how much the haters try to pretend it does.

        You're delusional, and not very smart.

          Why did he choose to fight Marquez instead of Mosley?

            Burner,

            Can you please add a poll? I'm very interested in how people view this fight.

            Floyd is ONLY Bigger
            Floyd is ONLY better
            Floyd is BOTH bigger AND better
            Floys is neither bigger nor better.



            I just don't know if people are favoring FMJ because of size, skill, or size AND skill.

              Why would Mosley WANT to fight Floyd coming off a 2 year layoff?

                Yeah it kind of reminds me of Pac/Hatton, you already knew who the winner was gonna be. At least Marquez is strong and confident though, Ricky sounded like he knew he was going to loose every time he talked about the fight.

                  I never got the invite, despite being such a vocal Marque fan.

                  No idea why.

                  But I don't need some banner to show my love for Juan Manuel. I think I've done a pretty good job of that already on my own.

                    Why wouldn't he?

                    It seems like Floyd has always been on a layoff since Castillo. When is he fighting someone again that's a threat?

                      Is why Floyd ACCEPTED the fight..JMM called him out.
                      Paul Williams, Miguel Cotto, Freddie Roach (on behalf of Pacquiao), and Shane Mosley also all called Floyd out as well.

                      Why didn't he pick one of those guys?

                      Please don't tell me it's because none of them have a fanbase as big as Marquez's.
