    Why Floyd Deserves Credit for the Marquez Fight

    Because a year prior, on the night of Pacquiao vs. Marquez II, Pac entered the ring at 145, and Marquez at 141.

    On the night of Mayweather vs. Marquez, Floyd entered the ring at 146, a single pound heavier than Pac entered the ring against Marquez a year earlier, and Marquez entered the ring at 144, 3 pounds heavier than his bout with Pac.

    Why wouldn't he get credit?

    First of all you're not taking into account that Pac had to severely drain himself to make 130, while Floyd didn't even drain to make the agreed catchweight of 144 which is 9 pounds above Marquez' highest career weigh-in.

    second, there was no unofficial weight for PBF vs Marquez, but if I remember correctly the ring magazine did have an article taht said he came in at 152. I don't see how you actually think he came in at 146. Sounds like typical bull**** that is spread to make PBF look better than he really is.

      Pac fought at 145. Floyd fought at 146. There goes that theory.

        LOL. Yes, moving up a stone in a few months results in solid muscle mass and not a load of useless fat.

        Also... How do you know Mayweather entered the ring at 146? That's pure BS. It was probably more like 152.

          He doesn't deserve credit man im a big fan of Floyd, but he just toyed with Marquez, who was physically intimidated by Floyd from the start.

            Did you even read what I said. Did Floyd have to lose 15 pounds to make weight 24 hours before the fight or not?

              How did you know Mayweather entered the ring at 146 on fight night when he didnt allow anyone to weight him? I doubt he came in at 146.

                  It's ok. I want to see it answered twice because I won't believe what he puts the first time anyway.

                    whatever the case maybe I still find it funny that a blown up featherweight performed much more admirably compared to a full welter like Mosley.

                    u got to give props to Marquez rather than Floyd.
