Mayweather Marquez Press Conference Quotes

[Kel]

Now this is fast becoming of a joke tune-up fight... JMM fighting PBF at 147??
.

Why is it a joke? Marquez wants to fight the best guy possible at 147. He is also willing to fight PBF at his own weight class. I think your a bit miffed that he has made a fight Pac would never take. Afterall he won't fight Cotto or Mosley at 147, Marquez will though.

You know I'm right.

You got it wrong and you're defending the wrong guy... Props to JMM for agreeing (or was he forced to agree) to fight at 147... But how about PBF?? PBF already has all the tangible advantages over JMM if the fight is made at 143 and how much more at 147?? PBF is making a joke to us fight fans... He's already a 4 to 1 favorite to defeat JMM at 143 and then he still allowed this fight to have a limit of 147 which in effect will give him huge advantage in the size department... JMM was only fighting at 140 on the night of his last fight...

First I consider this match-up as a tune up fight for PBF, now it becomes a joke tune-up fight...
.

I have got nothing wrong and I am not defending the wrong guy. Well done for giving JMM his props it must have taken a lot out of you, he sure is a special fighter.

JMM could be a special fighter if he overcomes the heavy odds and defeat PBF... Team JMM is also composed of special persons for allowing this much disadvantage to take place... Team JMM made a horrendous mistake before for having JMM fight the slick champion Chris John in John's hometurf for cheap change... Hope they will not have the same horrible result this time around (the much much bigger PBF knocking out JMM)...

"Floyd Mayweather - Juan Manuel Marquez Will Be Fought At 147!"

Not according to Dan Rafael.... It's at a maximum weight of 144 pounds.

He already is a special fighter. He is taking the hardest fight he could, all with no catch weight nonsense. Amazing really.

I find it funny that people are making PBF sound like Valuev in this fight, the size difference is not that much.

I think there's already a big advantage in size in favor of PBF even at 143... I've mentioned that JMM's highest fight night weight is only 140... So PBF will definitely enjoy bigger size advantage at 147...

Additional advantage in size just become HUGE because it's coupled with the other advantages PBF enjoys over JMM... 5" of freaking reach advantage... PBF can just pot shot JMM and dance to decision victory with that reach advantage coz he has the skill to go with it... How about the height advantage?? The age/youth advantage?? Can you give me just one tangible advantage JMM has over PBF?? I think there's none...

hahaha got you, you just pulled stats straight off of boxrec, just as I knew you would. 72" vs 67" is armspan not reach dumbass. Yes the 1" height advantage will surely be a decided advantage and such huge differences in height are such a rarity nowadays. Age advantage? Clearly this is a factor that you would also fault PAC for.

Marquez advantages, he's been active fighting the best fighters available to him. He doesn't have to worry about ring rust.

Ouch . Shite the weight aside...which I do see as relevant.Just look at the resent history for both.Marquez will debut at 140 + against a refreshed,sitting idle off long layoff Mayweather,haaaad to be in training,who last we saw was showing no effects of wear and tear or decline......Marquez has been in 3 or 4 straight harsh battles and I think his counter-sharp shooting style will be badly effected all things combined.I just cant get passed seeing him slowed,packed to tight and a bit stiff weighing anything near 140ish.He will have to play the aggressor,charge forward all night...Floyd will be the one countering.Comparitivly.....and save the Manny hater mantra....Pac brought the weight on vs. a badly drained and declined Oscar at that range.Very much want Marquez to spring the upset,he does not know the word 'cannot',one of the greats of out generation and will not just roll over nor cave.

Yes that's armspan or wingspan or reach, that's 5" reach advantage to PBF... Why do you think BoxRec labeled that thing as "reach" if it's not reach dumbass?? The one you're trying to refer at, is arm length which is in the range of 20" to maybe 28" for most boxers...

ha ha JMM been actively fighting... I'll give you that as if PBF not been regularly going to the gym...

Reach is from the armpit to the end of the fist, arm length is the length from the armpit to the tip of the finger, arm span is finger tip to fingertip arms straight out.

Saddoboxer in your infinite wisdom explain the 5" reach advantage. Since your equation assumes a chest width of 0" (AKA 2 dimensional)
