Its the truth. Dont be mad because I won the genetic lottery and you got the short end of your collective gene pool. :good
What does the fight night weight difference have to be before one guy is officially bigger than the other guy? Does it matter depending on the weight class?
so you think you are better than me because of your gene? good for you :good too bad the asian midget scared your brother to death.
This. Mayweather who's never weighed more then 150lbs was clearly the bigger man. Mayweather hasnt been the clearly bigger man for as long as I can remember. Marquez is a small 135, he just happens to fight in comparatively weak era for lightweights. Remember a faded Casa made it close. He was pushed by Diaz. Pacquiao is like a battle tank at welterweight. On the night he will clearly be the bigger stronger man.
Compared to me, Floyds a midget. Im 6'3 remember. I pick Pacquiao sized people off my shoes walking across the street.
pretty sure the logic is that Pac regularly weighs in at 144 without even trying to cut weight. Against Margo the limit was 150 and he weighed in at 144. So all he needs to do is cut 9 pounds and he'd be fighting at 135. boxers cut 9 pounds all the time. It's not a big deal to them. On the flip side look at Mayweather who elected to pay 600K to Marquez rather than sweat off an extra two pounds and make the 144 limit, indicating that he was already cutting a lot of weight to get below 147.
That's why I thought it was so slimy when May paid 600K to not make the contracted weight. 140 is the most this fight should have been made at.
There in lies the crux of the issue. Either Mayweather vs Marquez was a legit fight, with Mayweather only having at best 8-9 pounds on him, thats if Mayweather weighed 155 on fight night, when he weighed 150 against Oscar at 154, or it isnt legit, and Marquez has no business fighting at welter.
Yeah, I think so. In the lighter divisions, anything like 5lbs makes a huge difference. The bigger the weights are, the less difference it makes. At heavyweight, 20lbs is nothing. It's only when you get beyond 30lbs it's an issue. For welterweights, I'd say 10lbs becomes an advantage. Anything like 5lbs isn't significant enough, I don't think.
Mayweather was reported as being as high as 160lbs, which ties into why he didn't want to step on the scales to show it. Marquez said he was 20lbs heavier and he would know.
