    Well I first thought PBF close UD because Marq is a great fighter and a true warrior.

    Then I read up a bit on the weights and I thought PBF wide UD....then thought maybe I should go PBF KO....nobody will pick that because Marq is so tough....so I went with that and looked to be a good pick when PBFdropped Marq in the second.

    Anyway after 12 beers and a few glasses of NZ Sav Blanc its a wide UD for PBF.

    I know he was 1.5 kg's extra and at this weight that makes a difference but you cant take it away from PBF.....his defence and speed are first class :deal

    I'd be more interested in Cotto v Mayweather.......I'm rooting for Cotto over Pac though!

    Can't see it. What weight will they fight at?

    I've heard Floyd made no attempt to go any lower than 146 as he knew he was no chance of making 144. He informed GBP and a deal was made to compensate Marquez.

    So knowing how Roach and Pac are with catch weights, where are they going to fight Floyd at? Pac will want it as close to 140 as possible imo. And Floyd will want it closer to 147 and I doubt very much he will go under 145.

    Don't forget Pac has already fought at 147, but Roach wont go near that with Floyd.

    Regardless, if the fight does get made, Pac has no chance at anything higher than 140 imo. Floyd was a genuine welter yesterday and was far too big for Marquez. It would be the same with Pac.

    I'd back Floyd with a whole lotta cash if the fight was at 147lbs, but I very much doubt Freddie will allow that.

    True. He won't, and if they ever get to negotiating for the fight the lbs will be just as, or more crucial than the $$$.

    Hey Jet , How many lbs did Bully Boy Floyd have on JMM come first bells In Your opinion ?

    Ipswich Express, Roach has gone on record saying Pac won't fight Floyd Higher than 143 LBS ( as i'm sure you know ) and if Bully Boy can't make it then we don't have a fight , Floyd would do a similar Job on Pac as he did on Marquez imo , Too big and skilled for the Lightweights .

    I think Floyd was probably 4kgs heavier when the bell rang for the first round..

    To me, strength was as important as speed yesterday

    Yea JMM said the weight was too much for him (he reckoned 20lbs) i would say that was a bit off the mark but i wasn't the one in there with him for 12 rounds lol ,all in all though Floyd is the man , coming back after two years off and fighting like that takes a special talent imo .
