You can blame it on weight or the fact that Marquez had to move up in weightclass for this fight. It doesn't change the fact that he threw more punches and still missed nearly 80% of them. Weight being a deciding factor would make more sense if he was visibly scared of the bigger man, always backing up, never throwing punches and just trying to avoid a huge power shot from Floyd. That isn't what happened this fight. He was in there to fight, he was standing toe to toe with Floyd, he just couldn't hit him! 142, 144, or 146 if he can't hit Floyd he's done.
Conclusion: Floyd would have murdered him at any weight. JMM = Juan "Miss" "Miss" and in his post fight interview he should have said, "I clearly see the difference in skill between me and Floyd. I have to thank Floyd for coming in overweight so I can use that 600,000$ to drink away the knowledge that I'll never be on his level. After this performance I know I'm not getting any pussy in America tonight so I'd just like to tell all the Mexican honeys that I will no longer be drinking piss. Mouth to mouth is back in the game ladies! VIVA LA MEXICO!
I can't stand these comparisons, you can't compare, different nights, different fights.
Just cause Burnley beat Manchester United 1-0 doesn't mean they will beat say Liverpool as well. Doesn't work like that in sports.
I would say on the fight alone, it is Manny for me.
I never called Manny to KO Hatton in a million years in round 2. I had it in my mind that Pac's speed would give him a painful death.
I did expect Floyd to beat Marquez by TKO. He still schooled him though.
BUT... When I think about Marquez giving Pac 2 close fights, it kinda evens out even though I honestly believe Marquez at 140+ is pretty much gonna have trouble. He beat an old Cassamayor who nearly lost to katsidis until that KO, and was getting schooled by Juan Diaz for 5 round or so. That made me think that perhaps 135 was a little too much for him and he was only up there chasing Manny.
Man come on whats the point of that fight? Floyd put on a master class last night but the idiots who were saying Marquez gonna KO Floyd are now saying he was too small. It's allways the same shit THE SIZE would not have affected the outcome here, Floyds skills are just far superior to Marquez.
Why face Pac? he will just get hate when he wins, this fight has left me in no doubt Floyd would hand Pac another loss possibly by KO, cus Pac will attack more and leave himself open. Marquez is ****en tough i give him props
The only fight i can see him getting his due for is Cotto (if he beats Pac)
Mosley? nope ppl will call him old
Pac? no he is too small for floyd etc etc
Floyd cant win..
@TS both our very impressive however unlike Marquez, i think Pacmans opponents were tailor made for him so far, However Cotto is not and Pac may come up short come NOV.
you dont think jmm a fighter who jumped up 2 weight classes and never fought at welterweight wasnt taylor made for floyd to make a big statement?
It really depends. I mean Floyd TKO'd Hatton but Manny lit his ass up. Manny struggled with Marquez twice but Floyd dominated him en route to winning every round. They just need to get it on, BADLY.
