I don't know if he could physically make 144 or not, but its not like he came in
and used his weight to bully Marquez around the ring, my point is his skills
won him the fight not his weight, hence it didn't really matter what weight he
came in at. Do you think the fight would have been any different if he came in at 144 or less?
It isn't his weight; it is their weight. Mayweather doesn't use his size like Vlad uses his size as he doesn't bully his opponents or keep them off with his superior reach and jab. However, when he is fighting a smaller opponent it is easier for Floyd to use his defensive prowess to stay out of reach and win on the cards. Hatton and DLH looked TONS better than Marquez against Mayweather. In fact, in his whole career other than the first Castillo fight, DLH came closest to beating Floyd because it wasn't as easy to stay away from DLH. Pacquiao will suffer the same result as Marquez because he won't be able to close the distance.
The fight wouldn't have been any different at 144 because Marquez would still be a blown up lightweight.
i agree with you now.
