Anybody have weigh-in information

[JT Rock]

I don't think there was anything cool in the move that Floyd pulled earlier on. It was cold and calculating. The public was led to believe that this fight was a 144 pound catchweight. The fact that Floyd couldn't....or wouldn't (as seems more likely) meet that catch weight is the issue here. He has decieved the boxing public with his carry on even if he hasn't decieved Richard Schaeffer.

I hope we get a great fight like anyone, but I cannot help but feel that this was a manipulated situation. There is nothing to credit Floyd for in pulling this stunt. Of course Marquez is a warrior and will fight regardless, but that really is not the point. If the fight was for 147 five months ago then why wasn't that made clear? The fans have been duped in this scenario.

Were talking about 2 damn pounds here, you really feel so duped and cheated to the point of disgust over 2 pounds. If you felt like it was a gross mismatch from jump street than fine, but 2lbs certainly aint a David and Goliath mismatch and isnt going to automatically shoot this fight to shit

2 pounds doesn't sound like much but it makes a heck of a difference when dealing with these smaller men. They are after all 4 pounds different which is a weight class apart in the smaller divisions. It isn't David and Goliath but you know that Marquez has made great efforts to bulk up, whereas Mayweather who will earn 3 times as much has just turned up how he wants.

It's an issue of ethics and morals and Mayweather is seemingly absent of both in this situation. Like you, all I want is a good fight. I expected the fight to be at 144 like most others did. You cannot help but feel shortchanged that it's not though. This fight was billed as a catchweight fight. I don't see the catchweight though.
