How is Mayweather Marquez a mismatch

I don't think its a "mismatch" as such.....floyd should come in as a heavy favorite based on the tale of the tape....but its not in the same category of an elite fighter against a journeyman....that is what I call a mismatch....

 

Those posters who do not see this fight a mismatch are morons.
Floyd and Juan are fighting for the money. Nothing more.

 

then you are blind. :yep

 

that's bull****....mayweather might be fighting for money.....but not marquez....he is getting **** for this fight compared to floyd.....marquez is fighting for legacy, pac refused a 3rd fight, so marquez goes for the next best legacy fight mayweather......valero, re-match with diaz or casa, or bradley at 140 does nothing for his legacy....hes 36 looking for a hallmark achievement in the twilight of his carear...

 

Maybe you weren't around for the DLH - Pacquiao fight.

Hell, 14 or 15 months ago people were getting ridiculed on this board for the suggestion that a future Hatton v Pacquiao fight would be anything other than a circus freak show walk over for Hatton.

Same **** here.

If Mayweather wins, everyone will accept that it was a mismatch.

If Marquez wins, one faction will proclaim it the greatest acheivement in living memory while another will declare Floyd a shot to **** stumbling corpse.

 

Couldn't you have just read one of the billion other posts about this? The answer you're looking for is size. If Floyd wasn't such a coward he'd have fought one of the top guys in his own weight division.

 

:nod

 

Legacy, my ass! He knows deep inside that he cannot beat Floyd. He's fighting Floyd because he wants to get back on Pac who refused to give him a rematch. Fact! Floyd accepted it because it is an easy money for him or perhaps a tune up for the bigger fight w/ Pac. It6's a total mismatch.

 

Have the fight at super featherweght and I'd agree it was an even fight then.

 

While I believe the catchweight favours Mayweather more than Marquez, the Floyd being a coward stuff is pretty dramatic. One of the largest size disparities i can recall was Oscar-Floyd. No unofficial fight night weights were given for a reason. Oscar was at least 160, while Floyd was 148.

I have a feeling the unofficial fight night weights for PBF-JMM are gonna be pretty close. 148 to 145 in favour of PBF or something like that.

 

Pac is one of a kind. Marquez is a poor copycat. He can never duplicate what Pac did : jumping two divisions higher to fight Hatton/dela Hoya. If marquez wins, my props to him but I can't see him pulling a win against a bigger and stronger Floyd.

 

and rjj is a former 139lb golden gloves champ.

it is a mismatch in that jmm being asked to come up another 9lbs is very tough when its pbf you are fighting. it doesnt mean that jmm is going to lose just b/c its a mismatch...but the size and speed difference is going to be very very noticable. jmm is gonna have to use every bit of his ringsmanship to make it competitive.
