Mayweather, Marquez Make Weight… Or Did They?

[sense]

How is JMM moving up 2 weight-classes the same weight difference as Floyd moving up 1? Also Floyd showed that he could fight at Welterweight and still be in top form. JMM hasn't even showed that he could be competitive at Jr Welterweight let alone at Welterweight.

True he has been gone for 2yrs. But, I could also point out that Sugar Ray Leonard was gone for 3yrs came back. WHEN UP A WEIGHT CLASS AND FOUGHT THE #1 AND BIGGER GUY IN MARVIN HAGLER in his first fight back.

The size is too much man. It just is. No credit. He could of fought Berto, Clottey, Collazo, even Quintana. And, I would of gave him credit. Those are men his own size in his weight class that are top 10 but not elite fighters. That he could of came back on. I do not see how Mayweathers fans can say that a full blown WW can fight full blown LW and that is ok? Is not an issue. Nah bro that is that is a big issue

We agree to disagree my dude.

Aside from being a certified CHERRYPICKER, Mayweather is now a certified weight CHEATER. Marquez was already at a great disadvantage at the contracted weight of 144 lbs. How much more now that Mayweather weighed in at 146. Knowing beforehand that the fight will go on whatever he weighs in as long as it is in the welterweight limit, he adds another advantage to his already stacked side. Poor Marquez. I hope this IRS ****bag loses.

your certifications are not certified.

If you still lose to Marquez with this weight advantage, then people will not remember you by your 39-0 wins. You will be remembered by getting beat by a much smaller fighter. Kiss your career Good bye!

I agree now there shouldn't be absolutely any excuses. He has to win decisively or his rep and record will remain questionable.

I just wish they would have originally said this was a welterweight fight. This way it wouldn't seem as if Marquez was ripped off. We all knew something was going on from the beginning when they wouldnt' announce the weight limit. I feel the purpose of this was for Mayweather to first attempt to make 144 to see if he was comfortable at that weight. If he didn't then he could move to a more natural weight.

Then again this all could just be added drama to bring more hype to the weigh in and promotion.

The bottomline is that on fight night both fighters are going to come in around the same weight. So I don't believe the weight is going to be that much of an issue. The both are at their ideal weight. Standing next to each other both fighters look like the have the same dimensions besides height. Which also is not going to be an issue because floyd fights short because he bends his knees in his stance.

I feel Marquez is without a doubt Mayweather's toughest challenge. He wants to be in his best condition and size. This is going to be a great fight and I hope noone allows this drama and controversy to interfere with that.

The bottomline is that the public was cheated. Mayweather was never intended to weigh in at 144. If that had been the case, why would they have made two weights, the official weight of 144 and a "contractual weight" of 147. Fact is, that a "contractual weight" is the weight that the fight is contracted for. Why didn't they say that all along? The answer is simple, because they wanted the public to believe that the fight was made on fair terms. It wasn't. Marquez is not supposed to win. I certainly hope he does now. Golden Boy Promotions have had several of their sleazy schemes backfire on them before...

Im a bit shocked by this, i thought floyd would have to get off a few pounds to make a slightly lower weight but now he does not even have to do this!! I thought this was JMM's ONLY chance of getting an edge, but now its gone. This is not really going to help floyds image, its pretty obvious that over the past several years that floyd is unwilling to take any risks in choosing his opponents and now this leaves a bit of a bad taste in the mouth too, its never easy with floyd

marquez is getting knocked out tonight

This Fight is a Joke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its just a shame that after all advantages that Mayweather has, he didnt take seriously the catchweight limit. The least he could do was makin the weight, I mean this fight against a little man was a Joke from the begginin, Its so unprofessional, makes me sick. Mayweather is a fighter who never had weight issues, he was retired, but he and his team really know how to make weight easily in a healthy way, This just shows that his intention was fight a WW limit from the begginin. Mayweather You are a FRAUD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dude, how you gonna talk smack about Floyd yet have Kosta Tszyu as your top fighter? Are you kidding me? Dude lost to Hatton who Floyd KTFO'd and hung'em up. Of all the great fighters you could have picked. That's hillarious.

Wow, now I wish I hadn't logged off last night before reading this little gem. Yeah, you're right - Look at the rest of my list...Morales lost to Pac, so I guess he sucks now. B-Hop lost to Joe C., so **** him...and Corrales got blitzed by your boyfriend Floyd, so I guess he doesn't matter either. You see, I don't love/root for fighters based on their record, but rather based on their warrior's heart and obvious love for the game. You sound like you've been hittin that bottle of "Mayweather Ball Juice". Funny thing is, I thought Ellerbe bought up the whole stash.
