YOu can't say that Marquez would never beat Floyd, anything is possible. The first time Floyd and Marquez fought, Floyd came in 2 pound over the weight limit and got penalized for not making weight, and on top of that didn't want to get weigh the day of the fight, Floyd had the advantage on Marquez and he knew that. Plus Marquez moved up two weight divisions and it was his first time fighting at that weight, so yah the odds were stacked agaisnt him. Floyd is a punk that always trying to make it seam like he plays fair and on equl terms, and crys like a punk when he fills threatened when he has a chance to lose.

P4P is completely subjective, it can include unproven prospects. P4P is about as relevant as a discussion about whether superman could beat spiderman..... the writer feels that if those guys were the exact same size, Broner would win. Right now I agree. |

Pacquiao's legacy won't be affected by this either. He was still the best fighter of the past decade. Marquez is a HOF fighter. Moreover, unlike Jones and Frazier, Pacquiao was KO'd by someone that a large percentage of people believe was cheating. Kevin Iole wrote an article on this very issue before the fight--noting that Marquez will not get full credit for a win in this fight because many will attribute it to steroids. Iole is 100% right. I find it suspicious to put it mildly that a guy who lacked 1 punch KO power at featherweight all the sudden has it at welterweight and developed it at the tender age of 39. And, surprise, surprise, his body underwent massive changes only after a noted steroid peddler--worse yet, a noted steroid peddler whose game was helping athletes avoid Olympic style drug testing--is in his corner. It smells awful. I mean many people thought Pacquiao was on steroids when he went up in weight and he didn't have a "Memo" in his camp, never had 1 punch power at 147 (even though he had always had it at lower weights), was much younger when he moved up and never underwent the muscle mass development that marquez did. Every single red flag for steroid abuse is pretty much present here. It is a sad state of affairs. |

Nor me. In fact, to me Foreman's loss to Ali was more the result of exhaustion under some very punishing conditions than anything else. My hat's off to Ali for a brilliant strategy, but there was a reason he wouldn't fight foreman again. foreman's KOs of Frazier which much more brutal and yet many people don't even realize frazier even fought Foreman. He is instead defined by his trilogy with Ali.

The author shows biased reporting. His article is full of "I"'s it makes you feel like he wants to impart HIS personal feelings to the reader. Yes, he's a Marquez fan, or a Pacquiao hater, or even an Arum hater, but he failed to see that Marquez was being pummeled around the ring and bloodied, it's only a matter of a few rounds before he himself hits the deck but as Pacquiao turned it on upon hearing the 10-second mark, he relaxed thinking the bell would ring, and Marquez took advantage of this opportunity to throw the kitchen sink on him. He lost out of carelessness, and Marquez won out of his intelligence. I wonder how Marquez would have fared 2 years ago against Margarito, Cotto, Dela Hoya, Hatton and even Clottey, I bet he would have been KO'd by most of them and not come up with a single win. His triumph over Casamayor, Ramos, Katsidis are not worth remembering as classics.
