    This won't be a chess match.

    JMM plays checkers compared to Mayweather.

    JMM's skill and intelligence are not on the same level as Floyd's...factor in his defensive liabilities and you have yourself a beat-down.

    Floyd shouldn't be fighting at WW.

    He should be at 140.

    Well..it will be a good fight nontheless and i feel that JMM puts on a Classy gutsy performance but falls to Mayweather's superiority in the later rounds my official prediction is Mayweather by stoppage in the 10th.

    Why the face?

    Floyd state he was weighing 146/147 weeks ago.

    He's cut 9lbs to make weight before.

    He could easily make 140. And there's where he should be.

    Marquez was reported to still have been suffering from jetlag in his fight with Chris John. Talent-wise, Marquez may be one of Mayweather's toughest fights, especially coming off such a long layoff. I don't think this fight is a joke at all. My prediction is Mayweather by decision. We'll see what happens.

    So now, you are in May's inner circdle. You seem to know more about what weigh FMJ canb and can not make.

    If May could easily fight at 140, then the fight should have happened at 140, and not ask a fighter who barely wet his toes at 135 to go to 144, a two division jump.

    THERE IS A REASON WHY HE ASKED FOR 144, and it is easy to speculate. But at that weight, he has all the advantage - meaning they **** up JMM big time. May does not have to diet while JMM has to bulk up otherwise he will be bossed around.

    One thing I learned from FMJ is that never believe a word of what he is saying. "I will stand and fight this guy" is a washed up, recycled hash. "I will show my offensive arsenal" is the next thing. But at the end of the day, he will always fight with the safety switch on.

    I want to have a look at him to see how sharp he is and whether he's deteriorated at all. If he looks bad it's unlikely he'll fight Pac next.

    For the record, I thought DLH would knock Pac out.

    So why doesn't he then? My guess is that he doesn't much fancy training whilst only eating egg whites and oranges.

    Are everybody delusional and out of reality? JMM is slipping already and no one wants to see it. The writing is on the wall. He struggled inn the early part of the Casa and Diaz fight and people are still writing things like he is prime fighter.

    Does everybody buy the logic that FMJ chose JMM because he is the P4P number one, that he defeated Pac? If you believe those garbage, then you have been hooked with the line and the sinker, Basically, you swallowed everything without much thought.

    Mayweather is a shrewd fighter and choosing his opponents lately is one aspect of that. Mayweather was a risk taker when he was at 130, but that was way so long already.

    Mayweather does not have a history of fighting just anybody that crosses his path. That is why he is his own promoter and not Bob Arum. In Arum days, he basicallt fights what Arum finds lucrative. But now he is the promoter, and he added another dimension to that - he fights fighters who do not pose any threat to him.

    Just try to analyze this fight. Who has all the advantages. The only thing going for JMM is the 18 months lay-off. I respect JMM for his skills but I am also afraid for him in this fight (or I may not have to because if it becomes a potshotting fight like I expected, JMM will just end up with bruised face and live with his ego and abilities intact).

    He should, but he was challenged.

    Did you see when he went after DLH. HE went to 154. DLH did not come down.

    Whats the difference between 140 and 144 if both fighters are going to weigh under 147 come fight time?
    Mayweather has never lied about his weight.

    I don't see why he would like about it now.

    Im guessing 2 things.

    He doesn't like to go through that process of dehydrating.

    And, he's been challenged. He's moved up to challenge people, now people are moving up to him.

    But he needs to challenge pac for pac's 140 title.

    Why would he look bad in a fight you consider a joke and a useless one?, according to your comments no one should waste time to watch this fight.

    I think it would be great if Floyd fought him at 140. It would mean more historically (linear 140 title) but I seriously don't think Floyd can do it. I would have a lot of respect for him if he did try and make 140 again but I think it would make it more likely Pac would win.
