Bert Sugar on Mayweather vs Marquez

When you think about it, no mexican in the history of the sport has ever won titles in more than 3 divisions. Yet, Marquez was expect to jump into his 5th weight division from where he started and beat not just a titlist in that division, but p4p arguably #1 in the world. It was silly idea.

Perhaps it was wishful thinking that JMM could mount up a challenge. Considering how he struggled with Casa & Juan Diaz, I rate those guys B level fighters, I doubt JMM could even beat an A level LW yet alone WW.

 

Since when is elusiveness Wlad's weakness? It clearly isn't.

Anyway, since you want to bring up that, terribly made, point, Muhammad Ali would fight at cruiserweight if he was around now. He could easily make the weight, and as a fast, elusive fighter, Klitschko's apparent weakness, do you not think Ali would win? Or is the size difference too much?

Come off it...Ali schools both Klitschko's, despite the weight, and I'm a huge Wladimir fan.

Size matters in boxing, yes, but it's not the only thing.



Anyway, your points are awful, so I'm not replying properly, however:

1. Mayweather is faster than Dirrell and Berto.
2. De La Hoya is better than Pavlik, though would lose to him, and is a much harder fight for Mayweather.
3. How fat do you think Mayweather would be? He could fight at the same weight he fought De La Hoya, against Pavlik. Why do you assume he would be fat and slow?

 

Lame. Bert Sugar was obviously giivng Floyd a little props for fighting the #2 but when you look back on it it was prety much a farce of a fight. JMM had only fought at lightweight once, was asked to jump up two weight divisions, and Floyd purposely weighed over the agreed limit.

Comparing Shane Mosleys/Durans jumps to welter to Marquez just shows how ******ed this video really is.

 

What a dumb gay video.

Bert sugar is a pile of ****. Anyone who picked marquez to win was a ****ing ******.

 

Good video, You might need to keep reposting this untill you get a lot of views cause everybody forgets that mayweather was off 14 months

 

Casa was no B Fighter

 

Total flip flop. Mayweather deserves respect for schooling Marquez in that manner no matter how you look at the weight issue. It was total domination start to finish.

 

His analysis wasn't off if you could excuse the fact that he was assuming wholeheartedly that Marquez's skill set and style would be effective at that weight. Clearly, he did not wear it well, and the catch-weight wasn't respected. I won't make hypothetical statements on the outcome of the fight at a different weight because nobody knows and I won't pretend I do, but it was clear that it was a mismatch at welterweight and the Marquez that fought against Pacquiao was clearly different from the bloated Marquez who could not move and land effectively against mayweather.

Mayweather's a great fighter but you can't deny these considerations unless your a blind worshipper. I don't give a crap about Sugar but this is the reality of the way it played out.
