    Who gives a ****, 2lbs ain't **** at that weight.. who cares. People get way to ****ing caught up in weights these days.

    That's why the need to get rid of all the extra weight classes.

    JMM got a contract to fight with a limit of 144lbs? and Floyd gets a different one to weigh in at 147lbs? Sounds fair to me.

    Anyone who cares about boxing gives a ****. Those 2 pounds could be the difference between winning and losing.

    The only people who don't care are Floyd fans. But, yes, boxing fans, in general, GIVE A FUG!

    It's the principle of it at the end of the day that boxing fans have a problem with. Do the fight at the weight agreed, win and earn respect.

    This was taken from an interview from mayweather last week

    Against Marquez, Mayweather faces a seasoned, full-time fighter, whose two has a draw and loss to Pacquiao in two fights that he could have easily won. Against Mayweather, he is the underdog, a heavy one, mostly because the former featherweight and lightweight champion has never fought as a welter and presumably won’t be one on Sept. 19. The reported catch-weight is 144 pounds. Marquez predicted in a conference call nearly two weeks ago that he will be at 142 pounds. On the same call, however, Mayweather again would not confirm the reported catch weight.
    “Not weighting no 143,’’ said Mayweather, who dismissed reports of the catch weight as rumors. “It’s a welterweight fight. I weigh whatever a welterweight weighs.’’

    Apparently, that means Mayweather will weigh whatever he wants. Or maybe it means the biggest weigh-in flap since Jose Luis Castillo. Whatever it leads to, it is just another example of Mayweather’s ability to keep opponents and media guessing, which – truth is – part of the intrigue in the countdown to Marquez.

    U just don't get it. Floyd knew he would win. Mostly everybody knows that. But, being Floyd, he has got to come in at 146. What more advantages does he need? Doesn't he have enough already?:lol:
