I am not an PBF fan but as much size advantage he has over Marquez, JuanMa was still the Number 2 P4P ...
give respect where its due Marquez was the better challenger and even did try a lot more and done better than areola ...
One thing is for sure, people need to stop dissing Vitali and give him more credit. It's ashamed that he was out of the ring for 4 years. Plus he has the highest Ko ratio in the history of boxing. He's never been hurt, never been Knocked down, Never been behind on scorcards. He is very, very dominate. Should be no worse then top 15 hw all-time. IMO of course. I also think he could beat some of the great like Louis, Rocky, Dempsey, Liston. Big George would give him trouble though.
hmm Im gonna have to go against the grain here...
As contenders, JMM is far more impressive to me than Cris Arreola. Jmm has some speed (compared to Are) movement, craftiness, and counterpunching...plus a time and time again tested veterans mindset... And lots of heart.
Cris to me, just has lots of heart. Im not too impressed with his skills...not at the top eschelon level he's supposedly at.
So its more impressive to me that Floyd shut down the skillful Marquez, "blown up" or not, than Vitali shutting down a in over his head Arreola. Plus Floyd got a knockdown.
Both of them totally dominated their opponents, but who was more impressive? I'd say PBF.
they both did great, but vitaly actually stopped his overmatched opponent.

its vitali for me because at age 38 he was able to throw 800 punches and move well on his feet the entire 10 rounds. thats pretty remarkable for a 6'7 guy at 38. mayweathers performance was very good too
eh well Vitali is 38 and fought someone in his own weight class that can punch and is a young undefeatd fighter. Both put on a great boxing performance but I found the Vitali fight more entertaining as it could have changed after 1 punch even though it was one sided.
