    JMM v. FMJr. @ 130-140lbs. Would it have made any difference?

    How do you think it would've turned out? The same I think. At least not as lopsided as it was @ 144

    Doesn't matter. Floyd fighting JMM ruined any chance of a Pac v. JMM trilogy.

      It obviously would've been more competitive at 130-135

        Mayweather would of beat Marquez regardless of the size difference and i'm a big Marquez fan.

        It would of probably been a tad more competitive in the lower weight classes but not by much.

          At 130 it is a close, 8-4 or 7-5 type Floyd win.

          At 135 it is lopsided.

          At 140 it looks the same as it did at 147.

            Mayweather is Marquez with more speed and skill. Having them fight at a lower weight would have made it a closer fight, but the end result would have been the same. I'm saying that as a big fan of Marquez.

              At 130, it would've been more competitive. JMM would've won 3-4 rounds instead of 0 or a pity round.

              Marquez weighed in comfortably looking hydrated at 133.5. That just tells you that Mayweather had a 13 pound advantage on him.

                of course it would

                Floyd was 161 against Marquez and Marquez is natural featherweight

                  Couple or 3 years or so ago @ 135 Floyd still would have been the favorite goin' in, but JMM would have been a very live underdog.
