So first you pick a LW despite having fought as high as JMW...then instead of meeting him in the middle(140lb), you make him go up to 144 anyways...then you dont bother making 144 anyways? HELL NO!!! Would JMM have agreed to the fight in the first place if Floyd demanded 147 right from the start? Floyd decided to change the contract same day as weigh in...not like JMM can just decide to throw away 12weeks of hard work then... This was a pisstake.
He has to have Marquez show in in a pair of stilts and already full water weight so he doesn't look like a friggin ogre compared to him. He wants credit for fighting somebody, he should fight someone his size.. Plenty of guys out there wanted to fight him before he went and blew his wad in Vegas and got his cars repo'd.
Experts will put him probably somewhere behind Pac and Hopkins, although I don't think a win over an old career FW should give you a top 3 position not having a single fight in 2 years. The question is would you put him ahead of Juan Manuel Marquez? You see this is a fight where JMM has nothing to lose with all odds against him, why would a loss 4 divisions outside of his natural take away his well-deserved 2nd-3rd position? Now if the fight turns out competitive (not getting knocked out but winning rounds or even making it close, defying all odds), Pac, JMM, Hopkins, Floyd should be experts' ranking. If the unspeakable happens... well, let's not speak about that.
It depends on his performance. If he wins an average-looking decision, I'll have him behind Pacquiao, probably Mosley and possibly Hopkins.
Depends, the reason he goes straight back in as a p4p fighter is because we already know hes a brilliant boxer in my mind if he hardly gets hit at all and ends this by the 9th then he should go to be #1 again, because it'll show hes as good as he ever was if its a close fight and he wins then he should go in at #3 or something if he loses then hes outta there obviously
