Juan Manuel Marquez is my 2nd favorite active fighter alive today. Probably #1 if Hopkins is retiring like I think he will.
But it's still a one sided match for Floyd.
Hell, even at 135lbs, Marquez is a very small man. At 144, or whatever the catchweight is going to be, he's going to be even smaller.
But fuck it, I'll support his warrior ass anyway.
WAR Marquez!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Originally posted by DLT View Postwhatever respect you had for Floyd? How much was that? Its hard to lose more then 0. Didnt Oscar have all the advantages on Floyd? If Floyd fights any big WW, wont they outweigh him by 15-22 pounds? How come no one answers that part? Yet you guys call him a ***** if he doesnt fight them. Last but not least, why do you guys keep acting like its either or? I dont think he's going to fight JMM and then retire or fight JMM & Pac and then retire. He's going to fight some more WW's. I bet anything that he fights Mosley if he hasnt lost by then
And are you SERIOUSLY going to compare the ONE WEIGHT class advantage Oscar had over Floyd to what Floyd will have over JMM? Seriously DLT? You're a joke of a "fan".

If it was at 135-140, then yeah, the playing field would be leveled, but at 144+? How could anyone like this fight over Mayweather/Mosley or Mayweather/Cotto? How can these people call themselves Boxing fans? HOW?!
Regardless, I appreciate JMM for wanting to take such a monumental task, but lose whatever respect I had for Mayweather for avoiding one. Ridiculous.
I know I can have the security of saying that my favorite fighter continuously challenged himself in his career proving his worth whenever the opportunity. Win or lose.
I'm not a Floyd hater either, I've always had a healthy amount of respect for the man's abilities in the ring, and I've been anticipating his comeback eagerly because it opens up so many other interesting fight possibilities.
This fight is not one of them.
As for the people who will say "Marquez was the one who called out Floyd!".
Yes. He did.
So did quite a few other active fighters during Floyd's retirement, including Shane Mosley.
Why didn't Floyd go after any of them?
Why Marquez, of all the guys who called him out?
Because he's so clearly the favorite, that's why.

Thing is, his most devoted fans justify his refusal to fight him because they feel he is too small for them, too small to fight fighters in the division he was THE champ in. yet, they dont have a problem with him fighting someone 2 divisions south of him.

Marquez is like a cheap prostitute, taking a fight he knows he cant win for the money. Maybe he will make a backroom deal with Fraud to take it easy on him.

Originally posted by DLT View PostHow can you guys keep saying that? Your guys are just saying it just to say it and to take away credit from Floyd. He was not a small LW. He just KO the #1 guy at LW who seemed like he would never be stopped and he did not look like he was a small man in the ring. On top of that he was going to 140 anyways. Its not like he was going to finish his career at 135.
Even moreso, the same people were saying the same exact thing about Pac. I remember clear as day that everyone was saying that Pac isnt a real LW. Yet in his very next fight he jumped 2 full classes to fight Oscar and now says he will never fight under 140 again. People are overdoing this just because of the 2 guys it is
There is no comparison between Mayweather fighting Marquez at 144 or 145, to Pacquiao jumping up from 135 to fight the walking corpse of Oscar De La Hoya.
If Oscar had been Oscar that night, Manny's brains would've been scrambled.
