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

[MACAQUEINBLACK]

if i remember correctly floyd said JMM is a great boxer who beat PAC TWICE! so much respect to the GUY as if it is really a threat to him? cmon ur making floyd look BAD..

He wouldn't say 'this guy is no threat, he's done nothing to warrant sharing a ring with me' to promote a PPV fight, right?

Does Floyd have to view Marquez as a threat to respect him? Seemed apparent he liked Marquez -- as much as Floyd ever appears to like anyone -- and thought a lot of him as a fighter. He said Marquez was a great smaller guy after the fight . . . Marquez is a (relatively) great smaller guy, so where's the undue praise?

Short version of this thread,

2501 is still sore that one of his favorite guys got used as a tune-up (which is like Marquez being used as a doormat if you're a fan of his).


But in the 7+ months following that event, back in the real world, where people have since moved on, Floyd fought and beat the piss out of Shane Mosley - y'know, that #1 welterweight guy.

Now he's trying to get his nearest P4P rival and the other best guy operating in and around the division - again.

He means business, and this is what you ladies were crying for all along. And you're getting it, so now you've got to cry about anything tenuous you can find to cry about because Floyd just met one of your demands and made a bunch of you look like clueless turds in the process.



Ability aside, Marquez isn't anything on a Mayweather or Pacquiao level of influence or power - that's why he didn't 'deserve' a level playing field. Harsh, unfortunate, maybe sucks, but it's how things are.


LMAO at you bitches still leaking period-blood over things a boxer says.

I'll never quite wrap my head around how better doping policies are bad for the sport.

They're not bad for the sport....

They're not bad for the sport....

exactly the point why most of us are confused as to why pacquiao has no legitimate reason to deny the tests, other than an excuse that it makes him weak. pacquiao is mentally weak therefore he cant take the tests? come on.

If i remembered correctly, Marquez was the one who called him out..And second, the fight was a sparring session for Floyd to got his momentum back..

so that makes it ok?

i think the real question is WHAT THE **** DO YOU CONSIDER CHEATING?

to me, it means to have an unfair advantage. did floyd have an unfair advantage over jmm? yes.

[Slick_Rick]

That was bull**** just like the Mat Hatton crap , you guys thrive of bull**** .

Please disprove?

[trickshot]

Floyd is scared of Pacquiao.

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 don't think he refused......reports were he was trying frantically to make the weight..........floyd is a professional...and i'm sure he was embarrassed by the situation.

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

What Floyd did wasnt Illegal from a competitive/ safe/ and health Point of view. He broke a verbal agreement. in which he decided too pay Marquez 600k for.

IF IT WAS CONTRACTUAL, he would have lost 20% of his purse to the NSAC

• Marquez Called Mayweather out.
• Marquez wanted this fight.
• Marquez ask for this fight while knowing Mayweather fights at WW. meaning 141-147 pounds.

• Nobody made Maquez speak Mayweathers name after the diaz fight.
• He decideD the best choice for his career would be to fight Mayweather.
  and it was.

Add into the fact he had no leverage in neogations.
What do you expect?

The even Playing Field Marquez had

The even Playing Field Marquez had, was Floyd was coming off a 2 year lay off, and even worse he was coming off a 2 year lay off and about to fight one of the greatest fighters on this generation.

Floyd did not have the timing advantages going into that fight, because he was off for 2 years.

Floyd didnt have his muscle memory advantage because was off for 2 years.
the list goes on.

The biggest Advantage Marquez had was being active while Floyd wasnt.

Floyd violated a agreement. it is not comparable to using PED's and steroids.
If you want to compare a Agreement to Steroid abuse, you are grasping at straws.

How about we compare lying to your spouse, to trying to kill your spouse.
That would be the Equivalent of your argument of comparing violating a agreement, vs. using steroids and PED's.
