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

being bigger is an advantage, but i wouldn't call it "unfair."
UNFAIR would be somebody forcing jmm to fight mayweather, and jmm not wanting to.
floyd's a WW, and the top draw in the sport.....marquez wanted the fight, and GLADLY moved up to fight floyd.
a fighter using performance enhancers is an "unfair" advantage.....a guy loading his handwraps with plaster, is an "unfair" advantage....
fighting a smaller guy, who wants to fight you, and giving him the biggest payday of his career, is what i call "charitable."
........that floyd mayweather.....

2-5,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"?
Please explain two things for me, if you will:
1) If Floyd gave up ten pounds to Corrales, ten pounds to Castillo, 12 pounds to Gatti, and sixteen pounds to Delahoya, then why is the Marquez size difference a big issue for you? Were you incensed about the times Mayweather was at the short end?
2) How is Marquez moving up two weight divisions different than Larios moving up two weight divisions to fight Pacquiao?Comment

How can Mayweather Marquez be "UNFAIR" if Marquez knew what he was getting himself into? He signed the contract, also knew Mayweather wasn't gonna make 144. How is that unfair?Comment

I don't remember isolating my observations on Floyd fans, lol and I never used *****S as a term and you can check my history.
I'm speaking of a thread of mine where I get that a lot and this thread got some resemblance of it, but no backpedal, not too heavy as my thread went.
If that's the case, it's not just the Floyd stans but any stan.

Well as Floyd likes to say "skills pay the bills".being bigger is an advantage, but i wouldn't call it "unfair."
UNFAIR would be somebody forcing jmm to fight mayweather, and jmm not wanting to.
floyd's a WW, and the top draw in the sport.....marquez wanted the fight, and GLADLY moved up to fight floyd.
a fighter using performance enhancers is an "unfair" advantage.....a guy loading his handwraps with plaster, is an "unfair" advantage....

If u cant box, then I dont see how ped's are gonna help u. The same way I dont see how u can become this awesome baseball player just by taking steroids alone. U still need skills and hand eye coordination to hit that ball. Sure it'll give u the ability to hit it harder and further, but u still have to make contact. Steroids dont give u hand/eye coordination.
Will someone like Mayorga become a master boxer if he were to start using PED's?
Some ignorant people credit ped's for Pac's ability to take punches! When did steroids ever give u a chin or ability to take a shot? Oh i'm sorry, its this mythical a-side meth that Roger speaks of that makes bullets bounce off of you! LMAO!!!Comment
