    Pleas, Floyd looks smaller here then when he fought Oscar at 154.. Anyone that follows the fight game know Floyd , like Marvin Hagler never allows his weight to flux more then 5 to 10 pound between fights and has never weighed more then 2 to 3 pound when stepping in the ring come fight time .. Officially and un officially .. If so much in to body building then you know that looking heavy does not always translate to the scale. Floyd is not a big person by any means, but he hold his weight well.

    In Any case it would not have mattered if Floyd weighed 5 pound less then marquez the out come would have been the same. Floyd is a Skill and Finesse fighter , he not a fighter that uses size and strength in the ring .. Size only become an issue when its the fighter opposing floyd is bigger.. Had Marquez been the bigger fighter this would not have been an issue. It funny how no one mention that most of the fighter floyd face like Castillio, hatton, Gatti , and Corrales etc all have out weighed floyd buy as much and 15 lb, but as soon as floyd comes to pound over the contract limit still bellow the welter wight limit its an issue?

    yet certain fighters can win titles using catch weights? :-(

    I agree... but if JMM did pull out from that fight, he probably put Floyd in deep messy sh!t...

    :good The matter is closed Pit. 2 lbs is two lbs. Pacquiao asked Cotto to come down 2 lbs. 2 lbs is only 2 lbs. He paid JMM 600k. 2 lbs is only 2 lbs.

    Difference is Cotto actually did come down two lbs. And there was 4lbs between Floyd and Marquez at the weigh in and Marquez wasn't going to gain weight at fight time so Floyd was obviously heavier at fight time.

    you are really an idiot. cotto and pacquiao agreed to meet at 145. both as professional made the weight. marquez and floyd both agreed to meet at 144. marquez meet his end of the bargain while floyd didn't.

    Pacquiao asked Cotto to come down 2 lbs for a reason. Either come down or no fight. Cotto negotiated with Pacquiao for a fight at 145 because Pacquiao was the draw. Cotto wanted the pay day.

    Floyd didn't have to come down 2 lbs and weaken himself. 2 lbs can weaken you. How do I know? Pacquiao made Cotto come down 2 lbs. 2 lbs is 2 lbs:lol:

    so marquez and floyd agreed to fight at a certain weight and you think floyd should not come down to make the agreed upon weight? so you actually think marquez was the one trying to cheat floyd by asking him to come down to 144 according to your joyboy logic?

    Blizz is an idiot, plain and simple. The fact that he thinks Floyd did no wrong tells all we need to know about that ****...

    true. if we are to believe this guy, we would have a ****ed-up view of everything in boxing now. floyd has the better chin than margarito because margarito was stopped by mosley and floyd wasn't and and floyd doesn't have to come down to 144 and drain himself even if 144 was the agreed upon catchweight.

    Let's go the other way. Margarito has a better chin than Floyd because he takes suits until he's tkod, and Floyd should've made 144lbs, but he wanted to cheat JMM. Yeah, your logic is factually correct:lol:
