Two boxers who are among the top five best pound-for-pound fighters in the world, were recently questioned on two boxers who are universally considered as the pound for pound best. WBO/WBA lightweight champion Juan Manuel Marquez has fought both Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. The first fight with Pacquiao ended in a twelve round draw, and the rematch had Pacquiao winning a close split decision. Marquez was dominated over twelve rounds by Mayweather. It came as no surprise that Marquez considers Mayweather as the better fighter.
"No question, Mayweather is the best fighter in the world. He is just better skilled than Pacquiao. It was very difficult to fight Mayweather. He was so fast with his punches. It was hard to land my punches. He has a very strong defense," Marquez told BoxingScene.com.
