Roots you’re a moron, what has race to do with this discussion. To me the best is Leonard, the last time I look he’s still black. Your Floyd doesn’t even come close to Leaonard.

FLOYD WASW RIGHT NOT TO WEAKEN HIMSELF,JUST TO SATISFY YOU BUNCH OF RACIST TRASH.AFTER THE DIAZ FIGHT,MARQUEZ CALLED OUT FLOYD,KNOWING THAT FLOYD WAS A WELTER,WHY SHOULD FLOYD DO HIS OR ANY OF YOU A..HOLES BIDDING.FLOYD DID´NT INSIST THAT OSCAR COME IN AT WELTER OR WEAR 8OUNCE GLOVES.I HOPE COTTO KILLS THAT PAC-MAN,WHO IS THE REAL CHERRY-PICKER.HE IS ALLOWED TO FIGHT FOR THE WELTER TITLE WHILE INSISTING THAT THE CHAMPION COME IN AT 144,WHEN THE LIMIT IS 147.TALK ABOUT CORRUPTION IN BOXING.

And what’s with the comparison to Leonard, that’s so far from the truth. For everybody’s information number one, Leonard made his name fighting bigger guys. Second, Leonard is one of the most exciting offensive boxer who was not afraid to exchange blows with anyone. I know Leonard, Mayweather is no Leonard, sorry not even close.

These Mayweather lemmings are really funny. They can’t tell the difference between a featherweight and a welterweight. They have no concept of the natural weight difference between boxers. Not only did Floyd came at weigh in heavier than the agreed weight, and this writer is right, he probably is about 15 lbs heavier than Marquez at fight time. HELLO Floyd lemmings don’t you guys get it, Floyd should fight welterweights not a 142 pound featherweight.

Yes Mayweather’s skill obviously had something to do with the outcome, but it also had a lot to do with the size disparity. Does that, along with my previous post, answer your question Ben?

@ Ben – Marquez is 36 years old moved up two weight divisions…what does that do? When your past your natural weight, it makes you much much slower…i.e. your punches are slow so they’re easier to block and your defense is slower so you’re easier to hit. Does that answer your question?

I can tell you how floyds weight bennifited him. He hit much harder than Marquez, was able to take Marquez’s shot as if they were nothing. Even Mayweathers jabs were snapping Marquez,s head back and since Mayweather has an amazing jab you do the math.

Every shot he hit Marquez with hurt him. That wouldnt happen if he faught a proper welterweight. Am i wrong?

Great article. Money and catch weight contests are destroying the modern game. And before you say it I know catch weights aren’t new – but they’re becoming far more frequent nowadays with the amount of money involved now. Greats like Ali established their reputation by fighting the best at their best on equal terms. TV companies wanting revenue and paying for fights fans want to see despite obvious size differences don’t do fighters reputations any good – there are always excuses. One fighter is drained to make the weight, the other has physical disadvantages. Yes it can make the contests interesting, but the bottom line is that it is no longer a level playing field and this is the only place true competition can exist. If it wasn’t the fans wouldn’t be baying for Mayweather Mosely or Mayweather Williams. True fans would rather see either of these fights than PBF Manny as there’d be no excuses for either guy.

Ok so it looks like nobody at all can show me how flloyds weight benefited him in this fight?

It was more to do with his natural skill and speed, than it was to do with his power and weight.

Stop making excuses, Marquez, the number 2 p4p fighter… got beat, he lost every round and didnt even hit flloyd properly.

Thats nothing to do with weight.
