I don't think Floyd "'couldn't" make the CW for Marquez. I think he didn't care and knew the fight would go on regardless. ****ty move on his part, even if it was a tune-up and nobody expected anything less than a domination.
He also made it a point to bring up the "the size differential, but not the weight." Weight was not the issue here. As we all wintnessed an even older JMM at WW in 2011 and 2012.
Sugar also talked about the historical significance of Mayweather and Marquez, and how one of them can earn the kind of victory that would make history. "Well, they're great fighters within the welterweight division, which is one of the great divisions historically in boxing. That said, when you talk about the welterweight division, you start with Sugar Ray Robinson, and then you go down to Sugar Ray Leonard, Tommy Hearns, Kid Gavilan, Carmen Basilio. What this fight can do is place one of them into that pantheon of welterweight greats. We're certainly looking at two of today's greats, and in order for me to place them into the greatest of all time, I'll first need to see them on Saturday night"
Btw, Bert also picked 5-time Champ Shane Mosley (who was "too good" for Pac) to beat Floyd as well.

So if Marquez age isn't a factor which he is the oldest out of them all, than neither are the guys that Mayweather fought when he beat them. And Mayweather dominated a 3 year younger version of Marquez. Like I said so since age isn't a factor where did Floyd cherry pick?? I am listening

Originally posted by richardt View PostYou really don't understand anything about momentum. So Mosley announces retirement after losing how many fights in a row and JMM just had a sensational win and has been performing fantastically and you think they are the same?? Pull your fuking head out of your a$$.
So Floyd was 33 when he fought Mosley, and Shane was 38! Floyd straight dominated.
Pac was 33 when he fought Marquez, and Marquez was 39, he put Pac to sleep, left him snoring all that. So if people use age as an excuse why Floyd is always winning what does that say about Pac losing to a guy that is pushing 40 excuse me getting slept by a guy that is pushing 40?

Originally posted by elijahlyric View PostSerious!! As the Mayweather's would say " You don't know ****" Sharmba, please may beat him from post to post. You do know Ortiz was a southpaw, Del La Hoya and Cotto both were converted southpaws. Mayweather hasn't been touch no more or no less from righty to lefty. Guerrero is going to be easy. Oh, by the way I'm in love with boxing not fighters

It's taking about as long as it took Manny Pacquiao to wake up from that Marquez punch....and the only problem is that Manny can't even beat his cherry picked opponents (Bradley & JMM)
