    Serious Question: All Floyd Wants Is An Even Playing Field Right?

    What was so even about fighting Juan Manuel Marquez?

    Facts:

    Marquez never had a fight above 135 LBS (list all the fight night weights you want, but the fact remains

    Floyd refused to come into the weight they originally agreed on

    Floyd originally wanted to fight Marquez @ 147 LBS

    Floyd keeps talking about how boxing should be an even playing field, but his choices don't reflect that. Sure, you can say that it was Marquez's fault for signing the contract. But then, wouldn't it also be Cotto's fault for agreeing to fight Pacquiao? But thats besides the point, thats not what this thread is about.

    How was Marquez/Mayweather fougth on an "even playing field"?

      I mean, the guy who wants an even playing field chose a fighter who had never even fought above 135 and he's using that as one of his career defining wins. The hypocrisy is staggering.

              Look at another similar thread (Tortilla's) and the first answer he got is another question LOL.

              What I'm also askin' in my thread is what is uneven in this playing field?

              And your point validates another hypocrisy.

              But we really aren't getting any legit answers coz in reality "the even playing field" which Floyd and his stans are saying is imaginary.

                Even playing field that he was referring to was the possibilty of cheating. Marquez moving up 2 weight classes to fight Floyd isn't cheating.

                But I do see what you're saying. And I didn't enjoy that fight.

                  great point

                  all floyd wants to do is get pacman angry and throw him off his game plan. mayweather knows the fight will happen without his version of testing, he wont get it all his way so he just delayed the fight to get to mannys head

                    If that's all that matters to you, then you should go to a Pacuqiao forum, and not a boxing forum.
