If this is made at catchweight, I've regained a lot of respect for Floyd. He could easily have slapped a few extra notes on the table and forced Marquez to move up to WW, which would have been outrageous, DLH style. I think this fight looks a lot like DLH vs. PBF, actually.
Floyd's no dip****. He's not gonna take this fight lightly. He'll train hard for it. He strikes me as one that remains in shape anyway.
I think JMM is looking to cash out, He is going for broke with a Floyd fight. A win would force Pac/Hatton winner to fight him. By no means do I expect Mayweather to blow him out, Just would rather see a Pac III fight. (Cause I like both fighter's...lol)
I think it sets up good fights whatever happens... If hatton beats pac and floyd beats marquez then pac vs marquez III is on and Floyd vs Hatton II is on... If Pac wins and Floyd wins then it's Pac vs Floyd and Hatton vs Marquez... If they're close fights then rematches are on the cards... Big fights eitherway!
translation: floyd is coming out of hiding in his sham retirement which was a safe shelter from having to fight the Cotto-Margarito winner to handpick another older smaller fade opponent. Did fraud demand $20 million guaranteed for JMM like he did when Mosley called him out? Will Ellerbe demand JMM avenge all his losses? the fraud continues.
Floyd and Dawson are 28 lbs., 4 divisions, and 7 inches in height apart. JMM and Floyd are 12 lbs.(JMM will only be going up about 8 lbs. for this fight), 2 divisions and 1 inch in height apart. Floyd definately has the size advantage, but the difference in size between Floyd and JMM is nowhere near as great as between Floyd and Dawson.
