Point? I wrote it was a catchweight, and it was.

Whatever you say, what we do know is they fought twice and Marquez beat his azz around the ring. Pac gave as good as he took but there is no evidence whatsoever for you to declare that he would KO Marquez at any weight.

imho pac would destroy jmm at ww, pac has gained muscle while marquez gained mostly fat but did gain some muscle

Mayweather did not stop him at welterweight, had he, then maybe there would be evidence that Marquez is prone to being KO'd at 147. IMO, he is very durable and not easily KO'd, Pac knocked him down 4 times and couldn't keep him there. No reason for me to change my mind. We've seen Hatton, Cotto, and even Oscar stopped before, so Pac achieving this is simply a repeat of another fighters work.

JMM looked small against small DIAZ.

So add 10 pounds+ you will get fat JMM.

Mayweather couldn't stop a fat, bloated featherweight.

Get over it already.

It was no different from any other fight where a lightweight moves up to challenge a welterweight. Is this any less fair than Mosley moving up for Oscar, Duran for Leonard, or Pac for Oscar and Cotto?

If you want to refer to catchweights then that right there is the bull****. In reality Floyd should of came in at 147 and Marquez should of came in at whatever weight he wanted at or below 147. Now that would of been fair.

Just like Floyd chose to come in at 150 vs Oscar, He didn't force Oscar to do the same, 154 limit and thats all to it. If Marquez was concerned about being FAT then weigh in at 140 then.

yeah moron so he can be even SMALLER then he already was? you obviously dont know **** about weight in boxing, lets put calderon against sorry ass salita and see who wins... ****** moron..

pac destroys anyone with peds... also..everyone says how pac would beat jmm in a rematch because hes a better fighter now... then when the rematch happened he was beaten and got a gift again..

135 is JMMs best weight. Not everyone can move up weight like Pac.
Pac finished JMM anyway as a force

126 is marquez best weight. At 135 Marquez was already showing signs that he was in a class he really didn't belong. He was behind against Diaz and Casamayor but his skills got him the victory.

THAT IS THE CHANCE YOU TAKE WHEN YOU DECIDE TO MOVE UP AND FACE A BIGGER OPPONENT!! It is called the sport of Boxing!!

And skills is what you use when you move up and challenge larger opponents, obviously Marquez thought he had the skills to beat Mayweather. I highly doubt he planned to beat him with his weight.
