If Rigo is a great win for Loma, why is Floyd not given credit for Jmm?

[Larry the boss]

Floyd was like Salido. Failed to make weight!

No. He was actually under the ww limit at 146

Simple question..post and discuss

Simple. Public perception. Rigo lomo was viewed as a 50/50 fight by many people in the media and on the forums. Please don't convince me it wasn't because I read the forums and watch interviews daily. Jmm and mayweather, no one gave marquez any chance of winning. A mis match.

A fighter TWO weight-classes higher should be able to take a smaller guy's soul.

Big Deal.

Floyd was coming off a long layoff when he fought a smaller guy.
Loma was not coming off a layoff when he fought a smaller fighter.

JMM raised hell when he moved up to 147

What can Rigo raise at 130?
NOTHING that's what.

A long lay off where he was in the gym everyday putting on size.

Why couldn't Floyd take Marquez's soul?

He even cheated him on the scales and still couldn't do it?

Was this Floyd's 11th pro bout?

[Beercules]

Catchweight doesnt even matter as Loma-Rigo was no catchweight

So it means absolutely nothing that Floyd didn't make the contracted weight for his bout with Juan?


Alright Larry you have a good night lol.

[satiev1]

Wasn't a 50/50 fight for anyone that knows boxing. But they were more than enough posters on here calling for the fight, saying Loma will duck Rigo and Rigo will expose him.

For Marquez vs Floyd, the best you got was that Marquez could put in a good performance.

The fans were calling for Rigo vs Loma.
People wanted to fight Pacquiao, Mosley or Cotto. Marquez was not even on the top 20 fighters that people thought Mayweather should fight.

Cherry pick of the highest order.

Because you thought lomo would win dosen't change the fact 50 percent of the people thought rigo would win on the forums and in the media. Even DBN who has over 100k subscribers said this is a 50 50 fight.

Did Floyd fail to meet the contracted weight limit when he fought Marquez?

More than a few people did. I thought Loma would win, maybe on points maybe a late KO.

Didn't expect an absolute schooling

JMM made noise at Welterweight

What noise can Rigo make at Superfeather??



Let's see if Rigo can put a top guy at 130 on his face for 5 minutes.

You know.

Like JMM did at 147

[Regulus]

Exactly

Floyd agreed to 144 for some odd reason and couldn't make it.

You know.Like JMM did

Let's see if we can get Memo on the case.

What he did in the future is irrelevant though.

The Pacquiao that first fight Morales doesn't beat Cotto. And if Bradely would have beat that Pacquiao he wouldn't have got much credit.

At the time, Marquez was no welterweight, not even a light-welter.

And Made noise? he fought Pacquiao and Bradley, both small at welter.

But from your position, you do have to reach.
