Oscar was the a vs Manny and called Manny out. That is a fact.
Manny didn't hold every conceivable vs Oscar Cotto or Margarito all of those guys are bigger, and have height/reach advantage.
Manny did not pull any of those guys two weight classes up to fight him.
Just accept it.
Why did Mayweather need every conceivable advantage to fight Marquez.
He already had a natural height/reach advantage, and Marquez certainly was untested two weightclasses upLast edited by djtmal; 07-25-2025, 11:39 AM.Comment

Stop making excuses. He drained all of them with CW’s because he could as the a side.
Asked and answered twice. Will not change my answer nor answer again.

No. He was the a side so he CW’d them. Stop pretending I said otherwise to try and deflect from Manny using the same a side power Floyd used.
Moving on.Comment

No./QUOTE]
And you know godammed well that he don't
So why do you insist that it's the same situation as Mayweather pulling Marquez up two weight classes and welching on the catchweight, despite already having a significant height/reach advantage
It is clear that it's not
You want to omit details that don't support your boyLast edited by djtmal; 07-25-2025, 12:23 PM.Comment

The guy clearly says:
Marquez could never beat Mayweather regardless of weight, body shape, steroids, or whatever other lame excuses you want to use.
So we beg to ask....
so if that is the case, why did Mayweather need every conceivable advantage to fight him.

I'm not saying he could beat Mayweather. I don't think the layoff mattered for Mayweather. He was still training, still young and just keeping an eye on how the welterweights beat each other up to come back and pick them off. Just because he was 2 years laid off and it kept him fresh, doesn't mean bringing up Marquez up a weight class was in anyway going to help Marquez.Comment

Most fighters fight a mix of guys bigger and smaller.
Even say Ali was relatively large for his time, was heavier than fraizer, was only 4 pounds smaller than "big george".
Mayweather fights ONE confirmed guy who was actually smaller than him on fight night in his last 20 fights, even zab and Pacquaio were the same weight as floyd or more and then they make a huge deal out of it. Never mind that JMM was what p4p number 2 in the world they still cry how much smaller he was. Its seriously the only guy anyone can confirm weighed less on fight night in Floyds 20+ championship fights.Comment
