Why does no one care that Manny keeps fighting opponents smaller than himself? Why doesn't he get the same flack as Floyd? Floyd never weighed in that hevea against Marquez...just saying.
WAR JMM!!!
Because Manny started at what, 112? Hes as big as he could possibly get naturally. Whereas if Floyd built up natural muscle hed probably be fighting at 160.
Manny fought Margarito, Mosley, and Cotto...All bigger than him...So STFU.
Floyd agreed to come in lighter, didn't, basically said: "Fuck you, take it or leave it" and didn't even make another attempt to make the weight he agreed to contractually. That's why he got shit for the Marquez bout.
There was no stipulation for this fight. Manny weighed in heavier but Marquez sure looks heavier. Manny carries more size in his legs, Marquez came in looking like a bodybuilder.
Chareth Cutestory - Marquez was 142lbs and Mayweather was 146lbs when they fought. The fight was signed for 144lbs so Mayweather got a ton of flack.
So what your saying is Mayweather never came in this heavy to fight Marquez...

Nonsense Manny was a pro when he was like 12 fighting cans in the Philippines. Mayweather is just as small as Manny he just had an amature career. The Fact is Manny has weighed as high or higher on fight night than Floyd ever has.
You could make the case that Floyd is the smaller man.
Just because he gets his ass kicked by Maquez and Floyd beats him easily does not mean he does not posses a giant weight advantage. Much bigger than Floyd ever had over Marquez.
Manny probably didn't cut anything to make 147. He probably ate a lot to be 147.
JMM looks bigger too.

Why? He was a starving, 3rd world 15 or 16 year old when he turned professional. He's now in his mid thirties and has access to anything he wants to eat and the best trainers in the world. I went into the Marine Corps at 19 years old, weighing 147lbs and 5'11" tall. Many years later and I am now 220lbs at 6'1".

Thank you.
Catch weights are your friend. Floyd is the only one who fought Oscar and Cotto at a legit 154 limit.

Manny was fighting at Light Flyweight when he was 16 years old. Mayweather was fighting at 106 lbs. in the amateurs at the same age.
Fight night weights: 151 for Manny, 148 for Marquez. Big deal.
