    Who cares what a bunch of idiots say?, didn't they say size will be the decider of DLH/Pac too and that's recent.

    Mayweather made a career fighting bigger opponents so I don't see the problem with Marquez trying to imitate what Mayweather does.

    At 16, his body had not yet attained its full growth potential which is his current walking weight of l55.

    The difference here is mayweathers mouth. If he took this fight on the humble and stated he was back to try and work his way back up to P4P status, then i wouldn't expect domination.

    The thing is Floyd is comfortable at this weight. JMM has not even tested the waters at 140. Marquez is really taking a big risk in this fight. This is not a risky fight for Floyd.
    I'm not saying JMM dosn't have a chance, I'm just sayin it's all in Mayweathers favor. The only thing JMM gots going for him is momentum, he's on a roll. But after that war against Juan Diaz, who knows how much he has left in him.
    If Marquez gets knocked out, it's expected. If Marquez, losses via decision I would give him mad props.

    Floyd won't weight drain himself in this case as compared to Oscar who many said was a walking corpse while Marquez has to jump two unfamiliar weight divisions higher (he could weight more than l47 at fight night). Floyd, to my recollection, has not fought anyone like what Pac did and Marquez will do.

    I agree that Mayweather is proven above 135 while Marquez is an unknown quantity, but how exactly did handing two of the best LWs in the world their first KO losses in he most recent fights prove that Marquez isn't as effective as he was in the lighter weights? :huh
