    you're an idiot. They weigh virtually the same on fight night, Pac is only an inch an a half shorter (there's plenty of welters even shorter than Pac) and they've both been full fledged welters for 4 fights. If Pacs smaller he would have fought Marquez at 140, dumbass. He obviously can't make 140 and if he can then he's obviously cheating Marquez, can't have it both ways ****.

    mayweather should have finished off Marquez..

    why he decided to just coast to an easy win is beyond me..

    There are 2 pounds separating them. Mayweather has less of a size advantage on Manny than Manny has on Marquez, who you consider to be the same size.

    The way Mayweather beat Marquez, him weighing lighter would be more of an advantage to Mayweather then Marquez. Mayweather beat Marquez on reflexes, hand speed/foot speed and angles, timing, IQ. Him being lighter would only enhance those attributes. Its not like they traded punches and Mayweather absorbed more because of his weight. Now if he weighed heavy then used a Margarito or Hatton style pressure on Marquez to lean on him and put his weight on him to slow him down and wear him out then you would have a point.

    Its more about tying loose ends up more than anything.

    For one Pac wants to shut Juan up for good, and two, silence the critics that pull Floyd-JMM as a superior point over Pac-JMM II, by providing a similar scenario with weight.

    Better than no fight at all:deal

    Yeah right cheating on the weigh-in is legit and making him fight on that weight for the first time is legit...

    The only reason for these two fighters to fight is because Marquez quacks too much and Marquez is willing to sign the doted line

    Don't even try to say TAKE THE TEST! TAKE THE TAKE! You can go **** yourself if you do that.. Pac already agreed to that and it's been almost 3years of that bull**** I'm getting sick of it

    The difference is, floyd deliberatly created a catch weight that he never intended to honor in the first place, unless you believe floyd weighed so high that he could no longer cut anymore weight. When one makes an agreement with one another, but one never ever had intentions to honor the agreement in the first place and does the exact opposite is a sucker punch. whether figurativly or litteraly floyd has done both. Pac will honor the catch weight, so if u can't see the difference then u got your floyd mayweather blinders on too tight

    In my mind pac is more active, so therefore allowed. plus the fact he has unfinished business with marquez. its natural he wants to beat him once and for all.

    Mayweather fights every 18months , where pac every 2 years. which i think makes a huge differance.

    Plus also i dont remember mayweather getting much **** anyway. people say it as a reasonable tune-up. As long as he fought a tougher fight after people were reasonably fine with it (excluding haterz on here of course)

    Same with Manny, he doesn't get too much hate cos its a reasonable fight. However same as with mayweather he won't get much credit for winning, as he's a massive favourite.

    one final point to add, its a style thing. Marquez still has a style to give manny huge problems so its a tougher fight for him.

    Where He had nothing in his repetoire to trouble mayweather. A small counter puncher, facing a much quicker taller counterpuncher at a higher weight. Come on! marquez never had a chance against mayweather. At least he has a small chance to beat Pac. Thats just how boxing is.

    Who's giving any of 'em any credits?

    And should Pac cheat on the scales too, then he deserves to be blasted even more.
