    If indeed Floyd comes in around 149 on fight night, that's not a massive difference to figting a 145lb Pac like JMM did in their 2nd fight.
    In that sense you are right, but Pac did make the contracted weight come the weigh in.

    Welterweight limit is the contract with a built in deterrent over 144lbs

    The contract was SIGNED for 144 pounds with penalties for coming in higher. Floyd applied to increase the weight a couple of days before the fight. If welterweight was the limit, then why would he have to apply to raise it? Why would he even need Marquez's consent?

    Would Marquez try to come in higher if he knew Mayweather (or the actual weight limit) would come in at 146-147? Marquez was building muscle up to 144, not 147. The more you look at it, the more it looks like Marquez was duped to come in at the lower weight. Almost like a bribe. On weigh in day, 4 pounds is a lot as opposed to on the day of the fight.

    Marquez might be a brave warrior, but he is giving up a lot against the best boxer out there today. I just hope it's a better fight than it will be. Floyd, when he gets Marquez in trouble in th early rounds, will be able to put him away as opposed to Manny and Diaz, who could not.
