[Quinito]

JMM just sold his soul. I hope he gets $15+M for this.

Well, not necessarily, JMM is one of the guys technically equipped enough to deal with the Pretty Boy, the question as it has been stated before is: which weight?

Should have read the link eh, its at 144, which could favour Marquez, Floyd wont have had to make weight for a couple of years and at 32 hes going to find it a bit more difficult to take off an extra 3lb than what he was used to

Floyd is a gym rat who stays in fighting shape all year. He was weighing below the Welterweight limit for his fights and was 150lbs for his fight with Delahoya contracted at 154.

Not an issue at all, FLOYD IS NOT A NATURAL WELTERWEIGHT

Six years later NOW Mayweather wants to fight Marquez. Pathetic.

you are kidding I hope...

Lets have you break down and chart Marquez weights and career and as feeble as it will be.. Please enlighten us on how the hell these 2 could have met earlier

I'm liking this fight but it's gonna be hard for me to see either of these guys lose - big fan of both. Marquez is definitely my favourite active fighter at the moment vs PBF who got me into boxing again since my childhood days.

Do people give Mayweather credit for beating Marquez should he do it? I personally think big props should be given because Marquez has shown his technical prowess time and time again especially against Manny Pacquaio - managing to negate his speed and aggressiveness.

JMM would of course get props for beating PBF - No doubt about that

He may well have stayed in shape between fights while he was active but what about the past Two years tryng to be a celebrity?

Hes at an age now where its going to be harder to not only get in shape after being idle but also to drop the weight, especially seeing as this fight will be 3lbs below what he last weighed in.

It will make a difference in his performance, especially someone as sharp as Marquez but things may even themselves out with Maquezs age and the jump but then it didnt hurt Manny much

Floyd has never had a problem making weight, he usually had to work to put on weight... so 3 lbs isint going to bother him one bit... if he was trying to get down to 135 I would agree with you, but I bet he comes in about 144 or so... Floyd isint a fighter that is heavier than his actual proper fighting weight and then has to dwindle and rely on rehydrate.

I know you like to be right Ross, but coming from a guy who has followed Floyd his whole career, I can assure you we need to worry more about a plane crashing into his house than him being affected by getting down to 144

Floyd isint a real welter, never was and could have made a career out of fighting 140.. he moved to welter for 1 reason and one reason only $$$$$$$$$
