We asked the people if Floyd Mayweather ever intended to make weight for his bout against Juan Manuel Marquez and the people spoke very loudly. All who put in their two cents worth, felt Mayweather never planned on making weight. However, most did agree it would have made no difference in the outcome of the bout had Mayweather weighed in at the contracted weight or not.

My feelings on the subject are as follows...  Had Floyd weighed in at the contracted weight, the fight would not have been any different. Floyd would still had been the bigger man and he would have still possessed the greater skills. Marquez didn’t seem to mind that Floyd came in heavy; then again, Marquez was reportedly paid an additional $300,000 dollars for every pound Floyd was over weight. Not a bad deal when you think about it. I’m not even sure if the fight would have been different had both Marquez brothers been in the ring together against Mayweather. So much for drinking your own urine to catch on.

Who is the biggest threat to Floyd Mayweather? Shane Mosley, Miguel Cotto, or Manny Pacquiao? This was the question of the week and it warranted a lot of attention. Surprisingly, 76% of the people felt Shane Mosley is the biggest threat to Mayweather,  while Manny Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto each tied at 12%.

Why am I not surprised by this outcome? It’s simple. Prior to the Mayweather-Marquez bout most fans seemed fixated on a bout between Mayweather and Pacquiao. Every day I heard arguments on why Pacquiao is the man that could finally put a loss on Mayweather's record. So what happened? I’ll tell you what happened. The boxing world saw Shane Mosley get in Floyd's face and call him out; and by getting in his face in such a way, Sugar Shane stole "Money" Mayweather's thunder a little bit.

Shane Mosley did his best version of Kanye West and it seemed to have worked, because Mayweather vs Mosley is the fight fans now want to see. I must add that people saw what Floyd did to a small great fighter and thus, many may think the same outcome would lie ahead were Mayweather fight Manny Pacquiao.  So, in the end, who gets the fight? Mosley, Pacquiao or Cotto? The answer is simple, the man who brings the most money to the table, that's who. (We’ll be running this question again after the Pacquiao-Cotto fight takes place, since I have a feeling that depending on the outcome the numbers may change drastically).

Speaking of Manny Pacquiao versus Miguel Cotto, we ran an early prediction poll on who would win that fight and Manny Pacquiao received 55% of the voting to Miguel Cotto’s 45%.

I believe this fight will be action packed as long as it lasts. Anytime you have two men in the ring who are not afraid to mix it up and have the power that these two carry, you are always in for an exciting night of boxing.

My pick is Manny Pacquiao. Freddie Roach will give Manny a game plan and it will be seek and destroy. I can’t wait for November 14!
