    I don't think people will use that excuse, lol
    Pacquiao has only had 2 fights at welterweight (DLH and Clottey) so I dont think he has proven that much at the weight. Especially since De La Hoya was a zombie and Clottey didnt even try to win. People try and make it seem as though Marquez had no chance but history proves this as false, Duran moved up from Lightweight to beat Sugar Ray Leonard. And it's not as though Floyd was a welterweight his whole career, He came from 130. So he isnt naturally that much bigger than Marquez (Or Pacquiao) but people love to make excuses. When they came into the ring Floyd weighed 146 and Marquez weighed 142 so that's a 4lb advantage. De La Hoya had a 4lb advantage over Floyd in their fight and nobody talked about that.

    Best be sure that when Mayweather wins we will hear the following excuses from Pacquiao's diehard fanboys...

    "Gayweather made him come up in weight, PAC would kill him at 130 or 135 or 140 but Gayweather avoided PAC and made him fight at an unnatural weight"

    "Gayweather made PAC wear the wrong gloves"

    "Gayweather cherry picked a smaller man"

    "PAC has weak due to having a teaspoon of blood taken out of him"

    It's always excuses. But the facts speak for themselves. Mayweather completely dominated the guy who arguably beat Pacquiao twice. He won every single round, I dont care what anyone says. It would have been exactly the same had they fought at 130 or 135.

          They better not use that excuse, that would be utterly pathetic.

            I know these Mayweather fanboys are either crackheads or just plain dumb. They're all way ahead with their cheering rather than discussing why Floyd’s scared to fight worthy opponents.

              I agree, People make ****** excuses like "Marquez was a featherweight" but he came in the ring at 148. Making him a welterweight on that night, The worst thing is that people say this as if Marquez would have done better at 130 or 135. Mayweather was even better at those weight divisions than he is now.

                You do know that not all boxers can move up in weight and be just as good or even better, that was the case of Marquez. I mean his first ever WW fight was with Floyd and Floyd did not even bother to meet the agreed weight that was his own demand and came overweight during weigh in.

                And about didn't Clottey did not try to win, Pac made him do that.

Floyd will never get the respect he deserves. And it's partially his own fault. If he didn't run his mouth so much, people would probably like him more!


                    Yeah, and he would be making the same kind of money as Shane Mosley. Hmm, probably even less.
