Re watching this fight, after the early knockdown I think he was shocked about the hurting he can really put on this old, small, overweight man. Would have really brought to light about how much of a mismatch(or cherrypick to some of NSB posters) this really was. That fight in retrospect should never had been made.

That's because the when he got aggressive, Juan was able to hit him. So he stayed back and boxed. After the fight when people said "why didn't you try to stop him?" Floyd said "I DID try to stop him." -
like KJB said when he went hard little azz lightweight marquez landed beautiful punches that would have put floyd on his back if it wasn't for the 2 weight division differenceComment

Juan Manuel Marquez' optimum weight was featherweight, he was small even for lightweight but due to his exceptional great skills and talent he was able to outclass everyone at 135. When he fought Floyd it was at WW which is four divisions above Marquez' true weight class, yet Marquez was able to hang in there for all 12 rounds. Had Marquez been a true WW or Floyd a FW, the fight would have been different. Floyd should be ashamed of himself.Comment

Floyd lured featherweight Marquez to fight at welterweight catchweight only to be weight cheated.Comment

Nope. That's just the way floyd fights, safety first.Comment

Juan is a rugged guy. As Floyd said he was still "clear" even after he got knocked down.Comment

Don't turn this into Manny vs Floyd. Juan has always been an exceptional fighter with a serious punch. When Floyd tried to close in he gave Juan the opportunity to hit him. Being the hard puncher Juan is, Floyd backed off and fought a more tactical fight.Originally posted by tyshun30 View PostComment
