    this fight is getting too much criticism. JMM are Floyd are both superior fighters than Hatton. Hatton never really stood a chance against Pacquiao. Everyone is complaining about the weight difference between JMM and PBF and I'm not saying it doesn't matter but I will say that ability is alot more important. Weight is just a side issue at these elite levels and proper training camps can make it even less important.

    I'm more excited about this fight than I was for Pac vs Hatton even though I'm a huge Pacquiao fan and consider him better than Floyd and JMM. Hatton just doesn't make the cut for a great, elite showdown. JMM and Floyd definately do. There's alot of excitement in this fight about what the fighters will do, what their gameplans will be, who will set the pace, who will impose their strengths on the other. For Pac vs Hatton the only intrigue was "how did Pac settle in at this new weight"

    anyways those are my thoughts. 2 elite fighters going at it I can't believe people are complaining so much. Can't wait honestly.

    Marquez with his dedication to training at this age never ceases to impress me. And matching up the man with the most versatile offence vs the man with the best defence (or maybe second to BHop) thats gonna be really really interesting

    Sirs, any fight that Floyd would like, is a fight that the people would not like. He has made a career of doing what he wants, not what he should. Thank You.

    The combined skill level that will be on display in the ring on 9/18 when the first bell rings for Mayweather/Marquez is leagues higher than anything we've seen in years. Looking forward to it. Hopefully, Marquez looks sturdier weight north, than he did in the early going against Juan Diaz. I don't see how he could, but I've got my fingers crossed.

    that's an exagerration. Pac vs Marquez was just over a year ago and although Pac is not a technician like Marquez and Mayweather, his skill level is not far behind.

    i think it depend on what fight you want to see, a war or a chess match..

    i rather watch a war, too bad it only lasted 2 rounds

    Void will not fight Pac. Marquez is a good lightweight, but he is not a welterweight.

    Even though a PBF-Pac fight would be spectacular, I'll be rooting for JMM.

    Void is counting on his ref to help him out, his judges to give him a decision, Marquez will have to knock Mayweather out to get a split decision.
