What did Mayweather weigh when he stepped into the ring?

Round 12: The futility begins to sink in for Marquez, who is told by Beristain to "Finish with dignity." A left hook jars Marquez, who continues to retreat. A left hook over hand right knocks Marquez off balance. Mayweather loads up on two lead rights behind a pawing jab. A hard right pops Marquez's head backward. Marquez's right eye is bleeding profusely as he tries in vain to land against Mayweather's defense. On the ropes with 20 seconds left, Mayweather hammers hoome two more shots. Mayweather pumps his right hand in the air as the bell rings. He knows the result, as does everyone in the crowd. Mayweather's round, 10-9

Michael Buffer announces the unanimous decision: 120-107, 119-108, and, 118-109, all for Mayweather, meaning he lost only three rounds total between the three judges.

Anyone who goes in with an attempt, mindest, even the word "outbox in their head when they step in with Mayweather is doomed... It is simply impossible to beat or even come close to him in that game..

You gotta rush him, wrestle him, fight really ugly to even have a chance of stealing points... Unfortunate for Marquez but he didn't even belong in there in the end...

NOW Mayweather is back, proved he aint lost anything, time to take some challenges to cement his legacy and close down the critics...

Start with taking the biggest, toughest, most respected guys who can make 147 comfortably, or take on some serious challenges at 154.... Staying safe at 147 and fighting it's b grade fighters or dragging guys up from 140 is just not acceptable...

He's now back, lets be back PROPERLY....

I beleive he can take on anyone, so he's just gotta do it... I don't even want him to fight Pac...

Tons of guys have tried that. The conventional, cookie cutter response to a great boxer like Floyd is to rush him and crowd him. Unfortunately, Floyd isn't the conventional, cookie cutter "boxer", rushing him leaves you open for lightning fast, lazer-accurate punches. Crowding him leaves you open for blinding infight uppercuts and counters.

Floyd is just the complete package. There is no simple gameplan to beat the guy.
