    lets say he gave up those 2 pounds.

    would the fight have been any different?

    a different outcome?

    more rounds won by Marquez?

    a more entertaining fight?

    was it the weight that made the difference, or the difference in height, reach, skill, and technique?

    i already know the answer to this, but Puga_ni_nono sees otherwise.

    Same outcome.
    Mayweather's counterpunching nullifies Marquez aggressive counters.

    Same outcome...people who use that weight excuse are usually bitter Pac fans using any and everything to discredit Floyd...

    I dont think he could have taken it off safely, what could have likely happened is that he would have dehydrated himself down those extra two pounds pushing his body to a limit in which it basically shuts off.
    What happens when you cut that much weight often especially for guys like Floyd who really dont have the extra weight to lose, they have a hard time re hydrating properly in other words they can drink water all they want their body will not take it, they will **** it right back out.

    So had he come in at 145, likely he could have very well walked to the ring a Zombie

    2 pounds is 32 ounces of liquid... He weighed in at 146... you think 16 ounces of water would have shut his body down? Wow... He loses that during a fight...

    He had nothing left to take off... yes he needed that in his system....
    Let me ask you this how many times have you had to cut weight?
    it happens 2 pounds does make that kind of difference why you think Roach wanted Cotto at 145 for Pac? or wanted Margarito at 151? he actually tried to re negotiate to 150.
    2 pounds makes a huge difference which is why we have weight classes the lower ones separated by as little as four pounds.

    What I am saying is had he taken off the two pounds he would likely have not been able to re hydrate after the weigh in in other words DLH Pac comes to mind

    cellz has been crying and has decided to make this thread. he said that it's ok for floyd to disregard the contracted catchweight since it's just a tune-up. :lol:

    The real question is, what would have happened if Floyd hadn't taken a retirement to juice prior to Marqueerz and fought him clean?
