    I fully agree with you. Mayweather outweighs JMM by only 4 pounds during the fight night. Completely agree with you. Infact, if you look at the fight, they are almost the same size.

    :patsch

    Marquez clearly wasn't as ripped before, he clearly had some fat on him more than normal.



    Compare Pac NOW to Mayweather against Judah.

    Mayweather looks bigger than Pac, despite being 2lbs lighter than Pac.

    Anyone who says the Void is the same size as Marquez needs to go to the eye doctor! Void is not strong, he had had lots of boxing experience since he was a kid. Mosley is old now, but...........................

    Stronger than a featherweight. It is boxing experience that makes him win with a little help from some referees and judges. He lost to Castillo and Oscar, an over-the-hill Oscar.

    He can hit. He has the bad hands though and doesn't like to put everything into punches. But his sharp, accurate and opportunistic punching can really do damage, even if he's not throwing all his weigh behind it. He's strong. If he decided to be a killer-type, I think he'd actually shock people. He'd break the hell out of his hands but I think he'd actually shock people the way he could get people out of there as a welter if he actually wanted to.

    He was a middleweight weighing in at 159 when he fought Big Show.
     
  10. 7 of his last 12 fights have been at 154

    He looked big in that fight because he body grew. He's a legit welter now.

    but 7 years ago is now recent fights?

    "recent" normally contends to 2-3 possibly 4 years.

    Since 2007 Shane Mosley has fought at 147, 3 times and 154 once.

    A 4th time, will be against Mayweather.


    You had to go all the way to go 2003 to get those stats.

    If I add a year to that "recent" list of yours. Mosley would have more fights at 147 than 154.

    Don't be a child.

    Mosley has clearly recently been spending his time at WW and he is clearly making WW fine.
     
  13. No one is contending his ability to make the WW limit. What I'm saying is he's a big dude @ 147.

    Big in what way? Bulk?

    He's 160 on fight night. Only an inch taller than Mahweather.

    His size is rather fine.

    Margarito for 5'11 was rather big for 147.

    Williams was big for 147.

    Don't get it twisted. Floyd is pretty strong and he did move Hatton rather easily.
