    Floyd is the boss..lol

    Sorry, but if it was oscar or pacman it wouldnt have even be discussed.
    (Only by me!)

    Saying that, im not justifying floyds behaviour but every opponent he faced since he beat oscar has the best payday of their lifes and must accept they will always be the b side.

    Is that the best you got? Piss off.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    As far as the actual fight I don't see how anyone couldn't say Floyd looked great, it's not as if Marquez just forgot how to box on that night, nobody has ever handled him like that. Then again nobody ever brought him up 2 weight classes at 35 and didn't even make the weight themselves, it was a pretty bitch move.

    I think if anything it's made less a deal of because Floyd came up from the lighter weights himself, isn't a puncher, and nobody really believes the weight would have changed the outcome at all. If the exact same thing happened in another fight though, where a natural welter dragged a guy up, missed weight then went on to win by KO, he'd be seen as a Margarito type guy for a while. Marquez took the fight for the payday, couldn't have been that confident he'd carry the weight himself and obviously didn't have many options when Floyd didn't bother to make it. He was so outgunned to begin with, that kind of sours the fight imo.

    Because Marquez was a lightweight and Mayweathers farcical conduct with the weight, last minute backroom contract changes and refusing the scale was unprofessional and very shady. The event was strictly about Mayweather short cutting his way back into the "p4p" ranks after he opted to sit on the sidelines, the only ranking that mattered to him.

    Marquez definitely made a poor decision to move so high up in weight so quickly. He must have done it for the money. Guaranteed $3.2 million. I imagine it was a career high payday for him (up to that point in his career).

    Marquez only got $5 million for the Pacquiao 4 fight.

    "Juan Gomez stated JMM felt comfortable at 142, and that even if Floyd's weight does go up - he'll have an edge by being lighter and faster.

    Beristein stated Floyd was the fastest fighter they ever faced- over Pac. Did he complain afterward?


    PBF also catchweighted Canelo- but tripped out part was Alvarez rehydrated to 165 on fight night while Mayweather lost a half-pound from the weigh-in.


    Now I compare the two- Pac fights Margarito @ catchweight , but Rito blew up & most fans talk about how Pac fought this (massive ) guy..the same ones that forgot , so, too PBF.

    Different was PBF did it against a MW undefeated, young & strong Canelo.

    So IMO I go with Beristein & Gomez. Floyd would've whooped his azz anyway they weighed. And once again JMM didn't complain about it, so why should I?
