MARQUEZ: "THE WEIGHT WAS A BIG PROBLEM"

"I'm a little upset, but I tried my best. The weight was a big problem. I think there was maybe a 20-pound difference in weight. I'm not trying to make excuses for that, but obviously, look, I did the work. I worked very hard for this fight. I went 12 hard rounds and like I said, I'm proud to be Mexican and I was willing to die in that ring," stated Juan Manuel Marquez as he shared his thoughts on his performance and talked about his future plans after his disappointing loss to Floyd Mayweather Jr. Check it out!

Soy Filipino y tengo mucho respeto a Marquez. Es un verdadero ring warrior. El peleo duro con mayweather. Con mas peso, nunca paro tirando golpes a mayweather. El nunca dio a mayweather la oportunidad de noquerle para bueno. Me gustaria ver el tercero palea entre Manny y JMM. Olvidalo a Mayweather...El come Oscar dela Hoya, habla demasiado basuras. Viva Julio Cesar Chavez, JMM, Barrera, El Terrible, y Manny! Que Viva Mexico!

If it was a life and death fight between Floyd and Juan then we can think about the weight ie If the weight was equal it would have been anyone's Fight !

But come on .. ! Wake up ! Marquez was out classed at its best , looking like a amateur all night ! How on earth could a couple of pounds make any difference in the fight for Marquez ? Marquez would still miss the exact punches he threw. ''Gaining a few more pounds would mean Marquez hits more accurate'' ? Yeh right my Fucking Ass!

@barmyarmy3 this was just after the Marquez fight (the same Marquez who gave Pac problems twice but got trashed by Floyd), and just after Mosley beat Margarito. the logical fight was against Mosley.

[ogbanza]

a miss match..floyd was to heavy..he was fined of extra 2 pounds..and thats the real crap...
