Mayweather is at least 5% lower than Marquez in bodyfat. That means when you compare them both in lean body mass, Marquez should be a good two weight classes below Floyd.
Dude this is boxing, you shouldnt use words like MORAL that is the first mistake:good I glad it happened, not only that but I hope that Cotto does the same to Pac. The last freaking thing we need is someone holding a belt that refuses to fight the guys at the weight limit. What the WBO and Arum and Team pac are trying to do to Cotto is WRONG. They have tried to bully this guy into taking a fight at lesser weight then he needs to.. Take Notes Cotto, come in at 147 and see if Pac still has the balls to fight. I assure you that cotto would likely win any court cases
FYI 145 was Cotto's terms, he only tried to get it to 147 when Pac wanted the WBO belt on the line too.
Boom, that's a lie Boom. Either you really don't know, or you're lying. 145 was negotiated by both sides.
Im stating facts here, you can spew whatever propaganda you want, but the truth is Pacquiao's terms was 142lbs. Cotto was the first to even mention fighting the winner of Hatton/Pacman at a catchweight back in Febuarary. 145 was negotiated, with Cotto's belt on the line on the incentive that his sanctioning fees will not come out of his own purse.
Wrong! Pac wanted the fight at 142. Cotto said hell no, and insisted he would not go a single lb less than 145 only because Pac REFUSED the fight at 147. :deal
I don't know, maybe I'm not quite understanding something here. For Floyd, who is already more comfortable at welter than Juan, to come in at 146 is not cool. You know JMM was still going to go forward with the fight, this dude gots heart and balls. PBF would pay a penalty, no big deal, his name is "Money". Is this going to be a 12 round fight or 10? Sorry for being lazy and not looking this up myself.
I hope it doesn't. I seriously doubt that the contract that's in place now for Floyd-JMM was agreed upon months ago. More than likely, JMM was given the ultimatum of going with the last minute 147 contract or leave the money and walk away. Cotto doesn't have the clout to do something like that against Pac and Roach would probably sue the $hit out of him if he did.
