    So why is Manny not draining himself to make this fight legit then?

    It was bad business ethic on Floyd's part. But, Marquez is simply not in Floyd's league. Marquez, who is one of most accurate punchers in boxing, could only land 12% of 500+ punches, on a fighter coming off rougly 2 years of vacation. That was a bad fight for him, for so many reasons other than a two pound deviation, by Floyd, from the agreed upon weight.

    floyd could weigh in 170lbs at fight night and still his brittle hands could not KO midget marquez.

    Even *****s would agreed that there's no way in hell Floyd would KO pac.

    Ok...what's your point, guess I'm not following you, what does knocking him out have to do with anything?

    His weight really wasn't a factor in the fight. It's not like Marquez was beating his ass and couldn't KO him because of the extra weight Floyd had on. Marquez was never in the fight to began with. He lost every round if I remember correctly.

    Exactly, and he came in at 146. What I dont understand is why Floyd wanted to fork over 600k?

    Because that was unprofessional no matter how you twist it. Added to the fact that he is promoted as a small welter and yet couldnt make the weight?? JMM telling us that Floyd may have weighed around 160lbs is a possibility.

    That was so funny though man, JMM EVT 12

    Floyd was so scared of the little Light weight he even broke his own contract to come in heavier and guarantee himself a win.

    To hilarious.

    I can recall seeing JMM at the weigh-in. First surprised thenquckly pissed--you can read his face. Unprofessional of FLoyd--and well planned allalong I'd wager.

    Marquez was so upset that he had to drink a double dose of his urine to overcome the stress.

    In other words...He was pissed off!

    Ive watched the fight twice now and i honestly think Floyd weighed at least 12 to 15 pounds heavier than JMM. So you be the judge of what that would be but by my estimates it would have made Floyd IMHO somewhere between

    156 to 160
