    He beat bloated Marquez by coming out heavier than what was stipulated at 144. Why should you guys give him credit for the the cheating that he did?

    Even if he met the weight it would have been the same result honestly. The fight was a joke fight though. You had Marquez who had only fought up to lightweight once, moving up to welter for the first time. Stylistically it was a bad matchup for him to begin with. He never had a chance.

    he has all the physical advantages against jmm, but still came in over the stipulated weight. then, he says he wants a fair playing field?

    People seem to forget, Marquez challenged him and paid for it. I'm a fan of both Marquz & Floyd and don't give Floyd too much credit for beating JMM but still Floyd beat a possible HOF'er and later on fought Shane, a guy locked to go to the HOF that's a true WW, so he can be forgiven.

    Void is still running from Pac.

    Remember when Mosley's trainer brought up Void's cheating on the testing? Different tests for Void. I wonder if Void's testers actually put some drug into Mosley's blood to make his sick?

    He didnt make weight that isnt cheating Marquez gave the green light blame him


    Subtract 2 lbs and Floyd still puts on the boxing lesson Floyd is a smaller welter who uses speed to win his fights not muscle and brwaling maybe if it was Cotto or Hatton this would have been a problem but Floyd really?

    While you're right that Marg challenged Mayweather, Cotto never did. Actually when that fight could have been made Arum turned it down saying Cotto was too green.

    And when Marg challenged Mayweather wasn't that during the period where Floyd was suing Arum. The money was good that was offered but he got more money and the real linear title fighting Baldo.

    Floyd announced this fight hours before Pac vs Hatton. Shows you how Floyd never wanted to be on the same ring with Pacquiao.

    Is it not possible that after a 2 year layoff he wanted a warm up fight and he chose to announce it at that point so he could trump his P4P rivals media coverage. :patsch

    its not possible. he should have offered marquez 'step aside' money like he did with Berto.
