If JMM loses, it will shatter my idealism.

    Floyd always trains his ass off and is never caught slacking...his choice of opponents after 140 is garbage but he's always a professional in his preparation
    If this were a movie who would be the protagonist and who the antagonist?

        What he lacks is good opposition in the last 5+ years.

        Whats so great about doing a great workout in the gym when you duck the best fighters in your division?

        Waiting for Cotto, Tony, Mosley, JMM, Pac to kill each other before he gets to them?

        Thats what it seems like.

          JMM winning this fight would be the biggest upset this year if not the biggest upset of the decade. This is Floyd's coming out party again and it is his to lose if he loses. I respect JMM but Floyd's size, strength and more importantly speed and abilities makes it very difficult for me to see this as a win for JMM. I like the dude a lot and as always HBO knows how to produce award winning documentaries that allow a hype to build behind a fighter that is in over his head. HBO produces these epic docs that make the people backup the underdog but the reality is that you cannot allow yourself to be easily manipulated by storylines. I will not say that JMM has no chance what so ever because this is boxing and in boxing anything goes but it's highly unlikely that he will conquer Floyd. This opponent for Floyd is tailor made for the picking but if you want to get your hopes up then it's cool and enjoy the fight. I know I will be bbq'ing saturday and drinking with my homies enjoying the sweet science to the fullest...**** I love boxing.

                Margarito, you little smartass.

                There's also Clottey and Williams up there too.

                Floyd never seems to be in any rush to fight any of them. JMM is great but its another cherrypicked fight because he had to make so many sacrifices to make the fight.

                  Paul Williams aint a WW anymore and Clottey can't hold onto a belt for more than 5 mins...

                  I can't recall this Margarito character at the moment...

                    gatti, brusells, & corley at 140 is just as bad as hatton, mitchell, & baldomir at 147.

                    mr.counterfeit cash hasnt fought a threatening opponent since JLC at 135.
