        3] Where have you been lately?
        4] Is that not what fans from both sides have been doing all this time?
        Let me tell U something concerning the Floyd-Marquez fight,only a fool would have bet on Marquez,no matter the fight night weight.Why??Because the fight was at welterweight,that's why,period.Just like only a fool would believe that Marquez can compete with Pacman at welterweight right now.Just like only a fool would try to justify Pacman-Marquez as both fighters being the same size.They're not,Pacman is a welterweight & Marquez is not going to be effective at anything higher than lightweight.That's how it is,plain & simple.

          Because he knew he wieghed 160 pounds to Marquez 142 pounds. Marquez probably had rocks in underpants when he wieghed in that day. Take a look at the fight it looks like a lightwieght is fighting a middlewieght.

            You didnt hear it in contract negotiations thats for sure. You dont hear Floyd claiming giving that info makes him weak or some other bs either...

              Because FMJ rehydratred 60 pounds and was 200 pounds against a light weight. He has enough problems, he didn't need more *******s complaining about fight night weight.

                You are absolutely right. The commision has to make it mandatory. They are the ones that makes the rules and policy regarding the weight issue and drug testing standards,

                  You went all over the place without actually countering directly the main points I made.

                    Or maybe he is hiding something?
