Marquez : Mayweather had an extra 15lbs on me in our fight"

[JK1700]

I have just read this from another boxing site. And I lost some respect for Marquez when I read it because there was no official "fight night" weight for that fight so Marquez has no proof and is just making excuses. I have watched most of his fights and Floyd hardly ever puts on more than 3-4lbs between the weigh in and the fight. In fact in the Judah fight he weighed the same on the day of the fight as he did during the weigh in.

I give credit to Marquez for taking the challenge but his excuses are abit pathetic to be honest. There's no way Floyd entered the ring at 160lbs + because he rarely puts on any weight after the weigh in, Nevermind 15lbs.

I'm very excited about this fight though, Marquez is a great fighter and Diaz hasnt looked good in a while but his back is up against the wall here. He needs this win and badly, Let's not forget that he was giving Marquez hell in the 1st fight before he started being wreckless and just walking in without jabbing. I think if he fights a smarter fight then he can win. I'm not sure what Marquez has left after the beating he got from Floyd and how his body will react after the weight loss. Anyway. I have a bet on Diaz so..........WAR DIAZ!!!

Anyway you look at it, the fight was a small LW really a natural SFW against a real WW at WW.

He thinks Floyd was in the 160's> Damn near Angulo's size?

I disgee, Both of them weighed 142 and 146 meaning there wasnt a huge difference. Your a good poster but saying Marquez is a natural featherweight is pathetic, If you say that then you could also say that Mayweather is a natural Super Featherweight. The bottom line is that many fighters have moved up from Lightweight to Welterweight and been successful, Marquez just lost to a better fighter who beats him at any weight class.

It's funny how all of a sudden, Floyd was born a "natural WW".

Didn't Marquez knock out 2 guys at LW who had never been KO'd?
Weren't marquez and floyd in the same weight classes 126/130 for about five years?

Didn't Floyd give up 9 lbs to JLC?
didn't Floyd give up 15 pounds to Gatti?
Didn't Floyd give up 16 pounds to Oscar?

Don't hate on Floyd's genetics.

Yeah I agree that fight was ******, but oh well it was what it was.

Bull****.

He looked big compare to JMM, but there is no way he was 160 in that fight. His walking around weight is 150-155 and Floyd can barely keep the weight on.

[Carpe Diem]

I didn't heard Floyd complained when Baldomir weighed 162 pounds on fight night. Suck it up, Marquez!

[Chups]

He should speak and complain more about Floyd. JMM is only loud when it comes to Pac coz Pac rarely fights back.

[Kaspa9t9]

he was 15lbs bigger and 15x faster lol, Floyd your unfair
