    Marquez has been pretty successful moving up himself don't you think?

    Past his time to bulk up properly? :lol::lol:

    Dude, if you are fit and inshape, anytime is fine to add muscle.

    Hopkins being the prime example. Hopkins did it fine at age 40/41.

    Not even reading the thread. I'm guessing there are some *****s in here trying to justify the mismatch.

    Damn ya'll hate Floyd that much?

    Why is it that when somebody likes a fighter for whatever reason some people feel the need too attach all these stupid ass names to them like *******s, *****s. WTF? :?Just cause you like a fighter that means your a nuthugger???:? I don't understand the logic behind that at all.

    I've been arguing this point for ages- JMM got the better of Pacquiao TWICE. That said, style-wise I think Pacman is a bigger problem for Floyd than JMM.

    With out question JMM is getting stopped by Mayweather. Maybe not when JMM was prime, but this version it's almost a definite. PAC I'm not so sure that Floyd could stop PAC. Sure it's possible.....more likely than PAC stopping Floyd, but to say JMM has a better shot at making it the distance is a pipe dream given the speed diferential and the fact that there are NO physical gifts that JMM enjoys any kind of advantage or could rival Floyd. PAC does.

    Height no! But that is almost a half foot in reach advantage for Floyd...not to mention his refexes and speed is definitley better than the naturally smaller JMM.

    Pacquiao moved up and proved he belongs there when he was bashed on by everyone for making that move because they thought he will get KO'd on the spot.

    How does Marquez prove he belongs or doesn't there without moving up and fighting?
