        Why wouldn't he get credit?

          Perhaps my memories wrong, and it maybe, but did the JMM not alter the contract allowing Mayweather to come in at 146, as opposed to 144? Also, Floyd consistently comes in the ring at 146-147, I'd assume he wasn't much over if he wasn't indeed weighed.

              i dont believe marquez was even 144, no one really picked this up but if you watch the weigh in again, Maquez was somehow allowed to wear all that crasy ***ellery around his neck .

                u got to give props to Marquez rather than Floyd.

                I gave JMM is dues on fight night because i didnt believe he was going to lay into Mayweather like he did but PBF was just too big for him even though he was coming from a long lay-off.

                  Its difficult to tell how much Mayweather weigh in on fight night because he wasnt weighed, Remember he had too muscle on his arms after the long lay-off so i believe he was heavier on fight night against JMM than he was against Mosley last night, Mayweather weigh in at 146-7 last night because i saw a video of the post-fight where he said he couldnt put on any weight like he wanted to do, He said he wanted to come in at 150-152 but couldnt.

                    Because he did not stick to what was stipulated in contract, and obviously Marquez was a blown lightweight against a welter, still it was an impressive performance, but being a long time fan of his career and that alone left a sour taste, and made him look pretty bad...

                      Marquez was 141 for the second Pac fight, he was 144 for the Mayweather fight.
