Is the catch weight of 144 a significant advantage for Mayweather vs Marquez?

As opposed to what? Marquez going to 147?

Then it may be a slight advantage for JMM as Mayweather may be a little drained losing 3 lbs, but I don't think it'll matter.

Actually in the ring, I doubt they'll weight that much apart. But Mayweather is much used to fighting bigger guys, while JMM is used to fighting lightweights and guys below LW.

If we're comparing it to a catchweight of 140, then yeah, 144 is an advantage for PBF.

 

Marquez shouldn't step above 135 to be honest. But atleast Floyd is giving him some leigh-way with it being a catchweight under welter. Still one-sided though.

 

144 to someone who fights at 147 (Floyd) to someone whos fought almost there whole career at 126 (Marquez), I'd say yeah...

 

It's huge advantage for Mayweather.
He has too lose 3lbs just for weigh-in. And considering his out of training weight isn't far from 147lbs, it shouldn't be too hard.

JMM has to put on 10lbs(since last fight) in fighting weight and still be able to compete against probably the best natural/talented fighter in the last 15 years.

 

YES: the weight of 144 IS a significant advantage for Floyd.
(On paper that is a 100% advantage)

 

Yes it is. From a guy that's already a small lightweight to go to 144lbs against a guy who's most comfortable at welterweight seems like a very easy scenario to judge.

 

the fight is at 147 not 144 as was first said.marquez said so yesterday.its on the rings website
