      Yep, totally fair.
      I for one did give him credit against Oscar. For those people that didn't, their just pbf haters. You shouldn't read too much in it.

      As for my comment before (giving him no credit for being 10lbs heavier fight night), you should also note that Marquez was given an 11th hr call to change his "144lbs maximum" contract to the NSAC to 147lbs (if he was given an earlier notice, then fair enough). So Mayweather got one benefit there and if on fight night, he also happens to be much bigger, Its cool that you think its fair, but I personally think its unfair (2x advantage) towards Marquez.

        There were no unofficial weights for that fight so we dont know for sure.

          Maybe because Oscar was old and past his prime? You know, like Marquez?

            I guarantee Floyd will not weigh over 150 tonight. I have the feeling that he never intended to make 144, and figured giving up over a half million dollars was worth the advantage. I think he is solid at 146 and has been for some time now. I don't expect much change tonight.

              Floyd is a fully-fledged welter these days and should be fighting WW instead of superfeatherweights.

              I'm pretty sure Floyd gains some 6-8 lbs before fightnight. Not that we'll ever know for sure as the fight-night weights are unofficial anyway.

                Floyd was 152 10 days out, so expect him to come in tonight about 150-151, with Marquez weighing probably 143-144. Smaller, older, slower, damn, if he's able to pull this one off ........ wow.

                  This win is already tarnished in a lot of fans eyes.
