he retired in 82, came back to fight a bum in 84 only to get stopped and retire again. didn't fight hagler til 87. so he was effectively out for 5 years
He didn't get stopped, he got floored but pulled out a TKO then retired.
Well Marquez at a 147 Welter fight aint dangerous. Only Marquez fans stuck by him while the rest of the boxing world and neutrals knew Floyd was going to win. Floyd pointed out Juan Diaz made Marquez look bad and that he should knock him out.
Nelson, You know that would be a great ideal...last night show-Letterman Top ten style..lol
Great idea Ray. It's there for the taking!
What's even more funny about this thread is that so many comebacks have been mentioned that perhaps one should make a thread titled "Name a great fighter who fought a worse come-back opponent than FMJ."
lol- but unlike p.will, nobody was calling marquez the most avoided man in boxing either
what can marquez bring to the table 2 be scared about besides his crowd pleasing style which 9 outta 10 has their weakness,their are casuel fans , boxing fans and true boxing fans.
There have been so many of this kind by the floydstans lately Tom. Selfpwnage a'plenty. Perhaps someone should make a top 10 of silly floydthreads.

what are you talking about none of the welterweights would dare challenge the lightweight king! they must have been scared. thankfully floyd steps up to the plate and restores order. now the real welterweight tournament can start!
cotto-pac
mosley-williams
berto-clottey
floyd-juan diaz?
This thread has to be an award winner of some kind.
