Jumping up 10+ lbs In Weight At 35+ Years Old

[Pugilistic]

It seems so convenient for people to say guys like Marquez and Pacquiao shouldn't be fighting at 147, yet it was expected of Mayweather to move up at least that high. Marquez started his career like 4 pounds lighter than Mayweather when he was 20. Its not Mayweather's fault his skill allowed him to climb weight classes so effortlessly. I don't think MAyweather is that much naturally larger than PAcquiao or Marquez.

Marquez is more fighting a 140 pounder because Mayweather weighs in on fightnight as a large lightweight or an average 140 pounder.

Why do some people mention that Mayweather "used" to be a super featherweight ? That makes no difference to NOW.

All fighters go up in weight as they age.

Marquez can still make 130 and he is 36 years old, Mayweather could no way make 135 let alone 130, he could probably make 140 but refuses to even go that low so i guess that makes him a 147lber.

At this stage Mayweather is a welterweight and Marquez is a natural super featherweight, even watch Marquez fight against Juan Diaz and i think it's clear that Marquez is small even at lightweight.

This fight is not a fair fight no matter which way you put it.

I totally agree that PBF-JMM is not a fair fight... PBF enjoyed all the physical advantages over JMM... PBF is the heavy 4 to 1 favorite in the betting... I even consider this fight as a tune-up fight...

With that said, this fight could potentially end up as a boring tactical chess match between 2 masters of the waiting game (counterpunchers)...
.

I wouldn't call it a tune up, Marquez is not a tune up for any fighter.

Regarding the excitement of the fight, You could be right but i doubt it.

I expect Mayweather to be more aggressive than normal and Marquez has been alot more aggressive in his more recent fights.

The fight for me goes two ways.

1st - Marquez fights on the back foot knowing his best chance to win is make Mayweather come forward and try counter him. I think Mayweather would be more comfortable coming forward because he knows he's bigger.

2nd - Marquez comes forward and takes the fight to Mayweather, giving Mayweather loads of countering oppurtunities. If Marquez fights this way, he eventually gets stopped.

Either way though i see Marquez losing.
