Mayweather Vs Marquez a few points from an unbiased poster..

I agree 100%. Fighters are not going to be the same size. We already have to many weight classes and people are mad about 2 pounds.... Fighters gain 10-15 pounds overnight and thats okay... Floyd never drains down 2 weight classes to dominate a smaller inferior fighter. Marquez is a beast he fought pacman twice who is now fighting cotto who i believe is bigger than floyd. Floyd is not a ko artist he outboxes people and breaks them down. 2 pounds is not a (Advantage) . This will be a good fight.... Everyone talks **** about this fight and its going to be a good one. Im so tired of people looking at height weight instead of skills.

 

You are a biased Floydette sorry.

 

I think after the initial shock that Mayweather was coming out of retirement to face a career featherweight, most people felt at a catch weight it could still be competitive.

Their is a size advantage in most fights but most of the time both men are adjusted to that weight class regardless of height or reach. Vs Pac or Marquez there would be an obvious size advantage however facts are facts and Pac has fought at 140 and 147 very impressively.

Age I'm not as worried about as Marquez, Shane, and Hop have shown they can still go strong. But Marquez did seem to slow a bit as far as footwork and reflexes go at 135. But he has trained very hard and worked on that in this camp so I expect him to be very sharp.

In the end everyone was excited for this fight and we will still watch, but Floyd just took away from the sport because of the high number of people tuning in who will hear about yet another boxing circus act. Not to mention if he wins he didn't even care to make the contracted weight.

 

I agree completely.

146-142. 4 pounds. And the gap in weight isn't going to increase by tonight. JMM was a lightweight, he's not going to be tonight. He put on a bit of muscle remember.

If you think about it, imagine the fight was at 135 and Floyd boiled down to 135 and then rehydrated to 146? JMM would be at an even bigger size disadvantage.

 

Floyd has the size advantage by a few inches and 10 - 15 lbs, case closed.

 

Well without any illuminating counterpoints, this right here could be said to be a bull**** post and waste of time. :deal

 

i thought about shedding some light on his lack of reasoning but decided its not even worth the effort. this isnt about missunderstanding, its about propaganda.

 

People forget this fight was supposed to be in June. Pac, Cotto and Clottey were not available then, JMM was.

The only thing I will fault Floyd is for not taking the Mosley fight but otherwise there was no one else around for him to fight that was a big enough name to generate enough money.

JMM called out Floyd and wanted the fight, he is getting 3 something million which is more than he normally gets. Some of you guys act like JMM was forced into this, he wanted this fight, he is a grown ass man and been a pro for over a decade, let him make his decisions.

 

While I don't necessarily agree with your conclusions of dismissing age and size as factors in the fight, you do raise interesting topics of discussion that I for one do not feel the need to instantly dismiss as "propaganda" like some others seem to be quick to do. :think

And I'm easily Marquez' biggest gringo fan, on ESB if not period. :yep
