    Is it just me, or does everyone try to find some sort of nitpicky reason to hate on Mayweather?

    Floyd is a lighter weight fighter, he moved up all the way to 154 and won titles it doesnt make him a 154 pounder or a 147 pounder and he is fighting this fight probably around the 140 zone and the weight isn't gonna make a difference that much really, it's not like Mayweather is the kind of fighter who tries to impose his will on someone.

    It's that kind of thinking that "mayweather just beats guys because they are smaller" that got Hatton knocked out by Pacquiao, he felt he was untouchable at 140 because too many fans and people around him saying "you only lost because you fought at his weight" which isnt even Mayweather's weight

    Welter is Mayweathers weight and the fight is at that weight so for the so called best fighter p4p why not fight the best fighters and challengers at that weight.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Because when you are the best fighter you don't call people out, they call you out.

    Marquez called Mayweather out and Mayweather responded. And he intends to fight Pacquiao.

    You can dominate a weight division and get no credit whatsoever(example Klitschko in the heavyweights)

    And Mayweather was undisputed welterweight champ and got no credit because of the names he did not fight.

    Sometimes it's not about where you fight but also who you fight and at the time of their career. Fighting Marquez and Pacquiao would definately mean good for his p4p status. But as you've shown he wouldn't get any credit whatsoever.

    Who would he fight at 147? Berto is inexperienced, Cotto is fighting Clottey, Williams vacated his title and has moved up to around middleweight apparently, who is left for Mayweather to fight at Welterweight? Shane Mosley is the only other name.

    And yet if Mosley and Pacquiao fought no one would bash Mosley for fighting "the smaller guy" would they?

    its selective criticism and hate when it comes to Mayweather

    Floyd will be too Good for Marquez in the end...I can't see this being anything more than PBF handing out a schooling...But I would love to be wrong!!

    JMM will be behind in the scorecards. But he'll catch Floyd in late rounds.

    JMM by KO.

    You never know, maybe Mayweather will try to impress Pacquiao and all the others and be aggressive for a change, but probly not. I hope JMM beats him like a drum!

    I think it will. Which is surprising because it is two counte rpunchers, but I think Marquez will make it interesting, and Mayweather will pick apart Marquez with his pinpoint accuracy, and Marquez will have trouble with Mayweather's defense.

    This just has disaster written all over it. I am a big Marquez fan but I really can't see what he can do to the bigger,quicker Mayweather. Hopefully Mayweather has lost a step or two from the Hatton fight then I believe Marquez will hang with him. As for this not being a barn burner I think differently Marquez ALWAYS makes it a great fight. If Mayweather wants to fight against the ropes like he has done in more recent matches again Marquez will definetly battle with him. I do hope Marquez beats him but I just can't see it happenening

    I feel no hype for this one... Its a text book UD in the making for PBF...

    I'm not excited at all for this one...PAC vs PBF is the only thing that matters right now for the Super Mega Match catagory...

    of course you wouldnt be considering like 90% of saddos fillipino community your entire lives revolve around the success of one man and you`ll be damned if your gonna let the sport of boxing carry on when manny isnt fighting as he is clearly the greatest of the greatest in your eyes

    It's more like Mayweather was disputed WW champ and he deserves not to get any credit because he didn't fight PWill, Cotto, and Margarito.

    Pac is busy knocking out naturally bigger fighters, while Floyd is busy calling out naturally smaller fighters. Floyd should be ashame of himself.

    P Will was unproven at the time, Margarito wasn't a draw and people use an excuse of Cotto not being experienced enough in his fight with Margarito. The same excuse would have been given if Mayweather had beaten him. Fact of the matter is, Baldomir and judah were the number 1 and 2 guys in the division at the time Mayweather fought them. And Mayweather beat them both.

    That's your personal view. Imo, PWill, Margo, and Cotto were/still big threat for Floyd. That's the reason why Floyd is calling out smaller men. What a fraud.

    How the hell is Margarito a threat for Floyd? and how is Baldomir, Oscar Dela Hoya or Hatton a smaller fighter than floyd?
