JMM: I'll fight him at any weight he wants, not a problem since he was 148

[Stale_hotdog]

If Marquez really thinks he can go in there at 147 and get the job done then fair enough, but I think his heart is ruling over his head a bit. Marquez has been looking great at LW, but Pac has been looking great at WW. That's a big difference in power and muscle mass. Okay, they could be a similar weight on fight night, but with Pac it's all muscle, with Marquez it's more about rehydration unless he decides to bulk up too and that just isn't going to work for Marquez at his age.

I would love for Marquez to go up there and silence all the Pacheads, but I just cannot see it being a fair fight with a WW weigh in. It is the same as what Mayweather did to Marquez and we were all on his case. And now that Manny is doing it, you are all giving him a free pass and saying what's the problem? Total double standards. At least I am never less than consistent.

Actually there were some on his case, mainly Floyd's critics and haters. Not everyone. If the fight had taken place at 130 or 135 years ago, Floyd would dominate JMM even worse, considering he was even more offensive minded then and much faster. And considering that Floyd usually rehydrates 2 or 3 pounds at the most so it's not like he had a huge size advantage over JMM, it was the skills, speed, and reflexes that were the difference.

You're on about this fight being fair to JMM and the 3rd match should happen. But yet I posted that JMM turned down a '05 rematch against Pac for 750k years ago to fight 2 bums and Chris John for 30k. How do you explain that? If JMM had taken the fight the 3rd match would have happened in '08 or something like that. Or how about he asked for a 50/50 money split in January of this year when the fight was proposed to him by Pac's team? The fight more than likely would have been at 140 also since Pac was only 1 fight removed from fighting there. Talk about not taking the opportunities not presented to you. So who's fault was that? Who priced themselves out? Now JMM wants a 3rd match when he passed on the opportunities to fight Pac on a few occasions.

The moral of the story? Take opportunities in life that are presented to you. Don't turn them down and then chase down those opportunities that passed you by.

BTW, I don't think there will be a 3rd match with JMM. Floyd, Berto, Mosley, and the winner of Bradley/Alexander are on the horizon.

It doesn't matter what might have been between Mayweather and Marquez at LW. What matters is that Mayweather signed to fight a LW when he could have fought anyoone at WW. It was a hoax of a fight from the start and I give Mayweather little credit for it. The same as if Manny were to fight Marquez at 147.

Yes, there have been mistakes from the management of Marquez. For sure, I won't deny that, but right here, right now, I do not want to see a Pac/Marquez fight at 147. I would sooner have them look elsewhere for a fight. Marquez should not compromise on everything and if that means we don't see the fight then so be it.

Floyd dominated the no. 2 fighter in the sport at the time of his almost 2 year layoff. Again it's not like Floyd had a huge size advantage, it was the skills more than anything else. Floyd is a tiny Welterweight, more than likely could make the 140 pound limit. Again Floyd only rehydrates at the most 1-3 pounds on fight night. So it wasn't the size but skills that defeated JMM.

It is JMM that wants to fight for a 3rd time badly with Pac not the other way around. If he wants it, he's going to need to accept the demands. JMM wants the money, status, and biggest fights then he's going to need to take some huge risks for that. Just like Manny took some huge ones against Oscar in jumping another extra 2 weight classes after going from 130 to 135 and accepting only 32% of the overall money, not to mentioned ring size and glove size Oscar wanted. Floyd got his status as the PPV king of the sport right now and 1/2 the face of boxing by meeting all of Oscar's demands to fight him. It paid off.

Again I thought something else is funny, if JMM beat Pac twice as JMM and his supporters claim with all those writers and fans agreeing, then there is no need for a 3rd fight right? It's already decided, JMM has that. So why does he want a 3rd fight so badly then? You want to tell me Miles?

Come on now, Floyd is a large WW these days. He couldn't even make the catchweight to fight Matquez and looked absolutely huge next to him. No way did he put on just 2-3 pounds that night. Mayweather is in his mid-30's and has grown into the weight properly.

Why does Marquez want the fight so badly? I would imagine it has a lot to do with pride and Marquez being annoyed that the judges wouldn't see it the way the majority of the people scoring the fight saw it. He wants that win in the history books because what he has is not satisfactory and will be glossed over in the future.

Unfortunately it appears he is going to give up everything at the bargaining table to get it.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$Cash money hosss... If he some how manages to get the fight with Manny he'll be able to pay people to drink his piss for once.
