Originally posted by -Kev- View PostHe didn't make Marquez do anything. Marquez said he'd go up to 147 to fight Floyd, then they negotiated 144(Not 142 like you say), and Floyd came in 2lbs overweight. But the same Marquez at 144 and 147 respectively, but older, beat Pacquiao twice. Therefore if Floyd beats Pacquiao, I would list Marquez over Pacquiao in Floyd's top wins.
Floyd had the height advantage, nothing else. Given Floyd's past fights, and recent fights, he always comes in at 149-151. Which was probably his weight in the Marquez fight, while Marquez was more than likely around 147-149 on fight night. Let's say Floyd was a Light Heavyweight like some like to claim, and he was 178lbs for some reason, like Reed said in a very good post a while back, Floyd having a size advantage over Marquez means squat, because Floyd doesn't fight like someone who uses his size, i.e. bullying, holding, mauling, pushing, headlocks, slamming, ankle locks, body slams, elbow drops, Swanton Bomb, Stone Cold Stunner, Rock Bottom, Chokeslam, Sharpshooter, Tombstone etc. Floyd is simply an outside boxer who will not use, and did not use his 30lbs weight advantage over Marquez that night, or against any fighter in any other night.
So, yea, Floyd made Marquez go up instead of just doing it at 140. Just like Ricky Hatton.
