I love that idea...

Mosley at least hurt Floyd. Marquez lost 120-108 on all scorecards

For the record I believe Marquez loses to Mosley.
I speak for myself when I say that for me "Your only as good as your last performance".
Yes JMM lost every round to PBF.
Yes SSM rocked and won 2 rds. vs. PBF.
Yes SSM did better vs. PBF.

However since then JMM immediately bounced back and put on 2 good to brilliant performances.
SSM on the other hand?

I assume the argument would go that while Marquez lost to Mayweather, was way out of his weightclass and he rebounded with some impressive performances over decent, though not great opposition. Mosley looked awful against Sergio Mora and appears to be seriously on the slide.
I agree. However, JMM said it would not matter where he fights pac welterweight or lightweight. Clearly it did matter against Floyd. Maybe he does not believe Pac and Floyd are the same size.
IMO, I feel that JMM is saying whatever it takes to get Pac to sign the deal and he'll worry about the rest later.
He just want's Pac in the ring.
I personally think it's stupid of JMM to think he can beat Pac at 147.
Not because of the PBF fight. But because clearly that's not a weight that suits him.
It would be who of JMM to have the fight be at 140 or 135.
But I'm certain Pac realizes that it's in his (Pacs) best interest to make JMM give up whatever he can as it is for any fighter prior to the fight.
Whether it's gloves, ring size whatever it maybe. In this case weight.
I think 147 better suits Pac. But we will never really know unless it happens.

CFH, I completely agree with you and view it the same way...
