    JMM looks bigger than Floyd in this Ring Magazine cover...:D Is the camera angle doing this trick or a bit of photoshop here and there...:D

    What's your opinion guys?

    Floyds a little bigger. Not by much. On fight night, JMM and Floyd wont look that much bigger then one another. By then JMM will have added much more muscle and bulk. It all depends if he loses any speed or power while doing it.

    I think the size disparity is blown out of proportion.

    Floyd isn't HUGE compared to Marquez but he is bigger.

    Not by a whole lot.

    Well maybe this is one trick by fight promoters to portray an upcoming fight as a competitive and even fight...;) People don't usually buy a mismatch fight...

    And Ring Magazine is owned by GBP...

    Doubt it. Marquez said he's been bulking up nicely for the fight. Look at Pac against JMM then look what he looks like now against Hatton. Like a mini tank compared to the lil guy that fought at 130.

    Yep I've read JMM is lifting rocks in the mountains of Mexico... I think JMM needs to move boulders or even mountains just to have some chance to defeat Floyd...

    Is it just the subject placement or you think there's some photo manipulation?... JMM's head looks small for that body...

    Floyd was much bigger than Marquez at the press conference. Marquez did not even look 140 and Mayweather has a height and reach advantage.

    I think quite possibly that PBF's pic was taken sometime when he was making weight for a fight in the past and wasn't hydrated properly. JMM looks a little fleshy in the pic so it may be a recent one. It is interesting, though, considering that everyone thought Hatton was Godzilla compared to Pacman. You have to remember that as fans we say that guys are 'too big for the weight' etc but in all fairness, in the smaller weight classes the only difference is the weight on the scales rather than the size of someone.

    70 inches reach for JMM? Where did you get that info? BoxRec listed JMM with only 67 inches reach...

    actually Floyd is much bigger. That cover isn't even a photo, its just 2 seperate photos cropped and edited and pasted on top of each other.

    Marquez could still be fighting at super feather while Floyd can no longer make the JrWW limit

    It's possible the cover designer did make JMM looks bigger (with the approval of GBP of course) ... ;)
