So much for Mayweather-Marquez

[Taeth]

So Marquez not selling out to fight Mayweather or is he afraid to face Mayweather and using excuses? What I am saying is if Marquez doesn't want to fight Mayweather because its an obvious mismatch thats valid to me, but to use size and shit when Mayweather fights the way he does IMO is weak. Mayweather is getting heat for fighting smaller guys, but he also fought bigger guys like Corrales, Ndou, Castillo, Gatti, ODLH, Baldomir, even Zab Judah, besides Judah a lot of these guys had significant weight advantages usually over 8 pounds difference.

Marquez ain't asking him to come to 135. Marquez will be moving up in weight. What you think just cuz he's Floyd Mayweather he should call all the shots?

Not for the same reason you think. I am saying Oscar wanted Hopkins so he moved up to middleweight to fight him as did Trinidad. Duran moved up to face Leonard who along with Hearns moved up to face Hagler.

Having the weight at 147 is hardly giving Mayweather all the advantages, I guarantee in Las Vegas there would be way more mexican supporters than Mayweather ones. When was the last time Mayweather had the crowd behind him? That is a huge advantage and it always goes the other way. Mayweather moved up in weight to secure his legacy. Retired or not Mayweather is still considered by most the best fighter in the world, he's the biggest draw should Oscar retire. My question is what does Marquez have to lose fighting a fight he is expected to lose? Its like Pacquiao facing Oscar De La Hoya. Mayweather is the one putting everything on the line. He's coming out of over a year and half of inactivity, he hasn't looked super great the last time he took a hig break (against Augustus). Mayweather is the one the cameras are following, he's the one that is selling this fight to almost every non-mexican and/or non-avid fan.

Also Hatton didn't fight Mayweather because he wanted a payday, with his style, he truly believed he could beat Mayweather, you could see it in his eyes and how he trained, and how he fought. He didn't fight like a beaten man that night, but a guy who walked through a lot of hard shots and kept coming with everything he had. That was the most focused he had been since Tszyu, but he was fighting Floyd who is so good anywhere in the ring.

You guys can lie all you want about why Marquez is backing out of this, but its because he doesn't want to look very bad. His style as shown by Morales-Raheem just isn't suited to face a slick, speedy boxer like Mayweather.
