If JMM isn't a WW then he should have moved back down to 140 or 135 like Broner and other non Welterweights have done.
Speaking of Broner, I rarely hear anyone say Broner wasn't a legit WW when he fought Maidana. Even though just a year prior to the Maidana fight, Broner was at 130.
The double standard are pathetic.
Yeah Broner was at 130 missing weight though while Marquez never had any trouble making weight. Broner was always huge at the lower weights (130,135) and even looked like the bigger fighter when he fought Paulie.

Broner was big for 130 but that doesn't change the facts that he jumped three weight classes in a 1 year span.
When he lost to Maidana, I didn't hear any EXCUSES about how Broner wasn't a real Welterweight. Even though it was obvious then and now that he wasn't a true Welterweight.
But JMM fans have used the excuse of blown up lightweight since the Mayweather fight and it gets accepted as fact.

Edit: Also forget the fact Broner had already campaigned at WW and was a champ at that division before his loss to Maidana unlike Marquez who had no previous experience.Last edited by Dinamita 03; 05-26-2015, 07:49 PM.

Originally posted by Dinamita 03 View PostHe fought Alvarado and Bradley after knocking out Pacquiao several years after the Mayweather fight. He went straight back down to 135 after Mayweather and had no trouble making weight. Yet Broner went down to 140 and couldn't even make weight last fight out. Clearly he has trouble making weight.
