    It clearly got under the JMM camps skin when Floyd didnt make weight. Added to the fact JMM already knew he was the smaller man coming up. Its obvious in his demeanor it shook his confidence before even stepping in the ring. Can we all agree Floyd fans and non Floyd fans?

    nope. he had a chance to do something about it, and instead settled for more money.

      He was put in a no win situation. A guy like that would never scrap the fight last minute.

        it didn't hit jmm how big floyd was until they got in the ring. during the promotion and even the weigh in floyd did not look that big... but floyd looked like King kong in the ring next to jmm... floyd must've rehydrated to MW.

          No just No; JMM thought he had a strength advantage and that Mayweather was not training to win strength.

            jmm made the same mistake hatton made which is underestimating floyds size and strength.

              It obviously mattered physically. But mentally? How? Fight was a disgrace, but that said, JMM chose to move up and never complained.

                What could Marquez have done? Floyd and his team knew the day before he wasnt going to make weight and that he wasnt going to dry out anymore to lose the two pounds he was over. It was either fight or cancel the fight. You think a guy who has trained for 4+ months is going to cancel the biggest fight of his career let alone his biggest payday? Floyd left him in a bad spot and Marquez did what a warrior does and that is suck it up and go fight.
