      I'm trying really hard to follow your logic, but maybe I'm missing something.
      he's saying manny's been fighting naturally bigger fighters and has adapted to the weight more then jmm.jmm hasnt been talking punches from bigger guys like manny who has been fighting people who weigh 150-160 on fight night

          This is why I can't relate to most boxing fans in general, they're more worried about their guy losing as oppose to challenging themselves, and in my opinion, that's ***gotry at it's finest.

          I don't mind Martinez vs. Pirog (Good fight) but Mayweather vs. Martinez is the MUCH better fight.

            Because he has more experience fighting guys with heavier fight night weight.

            To say it plainly, Pac has more experience and far better success beating the **** out of naturally bigger fighters thanhe does.

            Try harder.

His base is also alot stronger which has helped him transition into the higher weights, he's also more athletic, Marquez could never make that transition because he doesn't have anything close to those attributes, of course you already know all this.
              Of course, but their fight night weight would be very similar to their fight night weight in the 2nd fight.

              So if fight night weight is what matters to most then there's no problem with this fight. Because, you might see another close competitive fight.

              Now I don't think that's the case because I go by the weight-classes, I go by the official weight and the official weight. And, that has proven that Pac has carried the weight much better than JMM.

              I don't care if JMM weighs in at 135 and comes in at 144. That would be a LW fighting a true WW at WW. It's not a fair to me, no matter how close their fight night weight is to each other.

              Same for Floyd and Martinez. It would be a WW fighting the best MW at MW. That's not fair to Floyd IMO.

                  Why am I typing obvious ****?
                  But, the same can be said about Martinez and Floyd. You picking Floyd cuz' of his style, skillset, and IQ. JMM could very well have the style, skillset, and IQ to compete with Pac which has been proven. And, then you throw in the fight night weight being so close to each other. Then I'm not understanding the issue. By all accounts this might be a replay to the other 2 fights.

                  Unless of course we ignore whatever the fight night weight will be...And, just see this for what it is. A WW fighting a LW at WW.

                    I agree with the TS.

                    Floyd should illustrate his greatness by taking on real challenges. Fights where he isnt always the massive favorite.

                    But Sergio at 154, not 160.
