marquez looked pretty intimidated, even looked out the corner of his eye to see if mayweather was still dogging him lol, marquez is my dude but mayweather had him shittin himself

wish list= haye vs klitchko, juan vs pacman 3, pacman vs mayweather, mayweather vs mrs. mayweather, mosley vs berto, sam peter vs david tua, tyson vs a big ass pigeon, and hopkins vs methuselah

all you juan fans stop making excuses. you embarass your idol when you say such things! noone put a gun to juans head to make him run his mouth about floyd and when floyd accepted noone forced juan to sign on the dotted line. he wanted to see what he could do and tried his best. now he knows he needs to stay in a lower weight class and keep his mouth shut about the bigger guys. shit they are all little to us normal sized people

@Cabocoleman so you mean to say you agree with everything bernard hopkins says? i didn't think so, so don't cherry pick his talking points to support your weak points. floyd was a 130lb fighter and he moved up and kept winning pac was a light fighter and he moved up and kept winning, a fighter never knows until he tries. juan tried and he came up wayyyy short theres no shame in that. it is not floyds fault that juan drank piss and got outclassed. maybe he should have eaten shit.

@Cabocoleman all sports are becoming more and more disappointing...in boxing no more good fights...not in my opinion anyway...only fights we're seeing now is people who should be considering retirement fighting people who clearly outclass them

[Cabocoleman]

@PhoenixEdwards

It is a bit of both, age and weight. But some fighters react differently when get up in higher weight class. Obviously RJJ can carry more weight because of his body frame. But look at Marquez who is the same height as Manny but his best weight is at lower weight. Marquez's fight with Juan Diaz (1st fight), it was obvious Marquez had difficulty even at lightweight. But going up to welterweight, is significant for fighter who has never worked that weight class.

[PhoenixEdwards]

@Cabocoleman i think it would be age more than weight class that caused marquez to lose...yes there's no weight limit in heavyweight rjj wasnt heavyweight though right now he's light heavyweight....he gained 18lbs to fight a guy who still weight 33 more....marquez gained 12lbs to fight a guy who weighed 4 more...so it wasnt weight....its more likely it was age...even though in marquez's fights we see he still has stamina and high work output in punches

[Cabocoleman]

@PhoenixEdwards

I said from the start before the fight, Marquez had less than zero chance. Marquez didn't look dominating against Juan Diaz on their first fight at lightweight. After Diaz, then Floyd next? Again from the beginning, I said and told everyone Marquez had less than zero chance in beating Floyd. And I was dead on balls correct. Because Marquez is two weight classes smaller.

[Cabocoleman]

@PhoenixEdwards

What? Floyd had all the advantages. He is bigger, faster, and stronger than Marquez. Floyd was going up, he was at his best weight class which is welterweight. He outweighed Marquez by fight night nearly 13 lbs. Look Floyd has superior skills and he doesn't need to fight guys who are two weight classes smaller. And Marquez did not call out Floyd. Marquez was set up by GBP for Floyd, simple as that. Even Floyd said his fight with Marquez was a tune up fight.

@Limekiln71

Also even Bernard Hopkins made a comment about the Mayweather vs Marquez fight. He felt Marquez had no chance because Marquez is a smaller fighter. And his fight with Manny, they were in the same weight class. Do you understand? Marquez and Floyd weren't in the same weight class. Marquez was a light weight fighter and Floyd is a welterweight. Where am i losing you? Manny doesn't want a fight with Marquez because he really feels he doesn't need him but Marquez need him for big money
