It's like a 40 pound swing in Mayweathers favor. Of course it was a joke. Most of us knew that and didnt buy it. Marquez never had a chance in that situation. I didnt hear ONE SINGLE EXPERT pick Marquez. That shows you how obvious the outcome was.
    20 pounds??!? 168?!?!? So Floyd is a bigger guy than Cotto, Shane and Margarito now? What the haters say keeps getting more unbelievable every day.

      I'm pretty sure Marquez got a hefty pay day. At his age, the best career move is the one that gives you the most money.

          Still wrong. If by "natural weight" he means "weight class they fought the most at", then the difference is 4 pounds (Floyd 130, JMM 126)

          If he means "weight class they were at the moment they fought", then it's 12 pounds (Floyd 147, JMM 135)

          One could also say that natural weight relates to what you weigh on fight night, and that difference would also be in the single digits. JMM weighed in the low 140s for his last two fights, and Floyd in the high 140s.
