as above. anybody else taking this fight after such a long layoff would not be as heckled as mayweather is. give the guy a break, he is fighting one of the best in the world in his comeback fight, which will make the pac fight even bigger if it does happen.
and with regards to weight......in the past fighters were commended for fighting up and down the weights, giving us classic fights, the duran/leonard/hearns/hagler fights being prime examples. i dont see what the problem is nowadays

well I think JMM is being commended for taking this fight. Nothing has changed really.

How come, in general, the media seems to have no problem between the size difference between these two? Even guys who like to **** with Mayweather like Brian Kenney and Doug Fischer don't seem to have a problem with the size disparity. Many have even expressed surprise that Mayweather is taken on such a high caliber of opponent after such a long layoff. Has the boxing public become used to these catchweight fights and simply don't care anymore? Are today's boxing writers and analysts clueless? Or, is the size issue not much of a concern with all things considered?
