Mayweather fans swear by that fight and point to it as the main reason Floyd would beat Pacquiao as the fight was only 2 years ago. Pacquiao fans say that Manny has improved again and the weight gain has helped him with power,speed and stamina.
Where do you stand? Maybe a little of both sides?
That was the last fight where Manny looked beatable.
the truth is its no longer relevant. pac already beat jmm 2x.
jmm should not fight above 135 lbs, and I don't think pac will budge and fight jmm at 140 lbs in a rubbermatch. its a complete waste of time.
How did he beat him twice? But I do agree with you You guys do realize he said against floyd not a pac vs marquez 3 right? pac vs marquez 3 would end with pac KOing him however I do think pac still has the same problems not all of them have been fixed since he fought marquez like getting hit with straight rights

if floyd can drain himself to 135 he would still dominate marquez....lol did you watch the fight it was like a teacher with a student giving a boxing lesson
He was way bigger that night. A middleweight fighting a featherweight. Yeah,, that was fair alright...

Although Mayweather is a lot faster, the weight definitely didn't help Marquez. Marquez looked like a damn snail in that fight, I'm sure he'd have done better at a lower weight.
Also, do you think Floyd would stand square up with Pac like Marquez did? Or elect to move like against ODLH and Hatton?
Floyd seems far more confrontational since he came back, attacked Mosley and Marquez from the get go. Freddie seems to think it's because he's lost his legs... Will be interesting.
So you're saying Floyd didn't have the balls to meet him at 135.
Nice. :drive:

IT's very relevant cuz it's unfinished business between the two. MArquez has 2 unofficial wins over him so there must be a closure.
If pacman got the balls, he would come meet Marquez at 135.

i think manny is the same fighter that fought marquez in the 2nd fight the only difference is he's not fighting marquez
pac is much stronger at jrww and ww and seems to take a better punch. i dont see a scenario where jmm even makes this fight close.
It's relevant in that Pacquiao will never be able to completely nullify the problems Marquez gave him, and Mayweather presents many of the same challenges.
However, all you have to do is look from the first Marquez fight to the second to see Pacquiao's improvement, and he has gotten better since that fight as well, so it's not like that fight is a manual on how to beat Pacquiao now.
pac destroys jmm at 140 and up it would be almost sad to watch a great little warrior like marquez getting stopped so brutally and so early in the fight. if this fight was made after the last one they had at a lower weight i would say it would be a 50-50 but right now it would be a massacre
there is alot of relevance...floyd does everything marquez does just better, has more speed, more ring IQ , and better elusiveness. if marquez gave pac trouble, floyd will be even more trouble. For the life of me , I know pac cant decision floyd ever. He would need a big power shot combo and Im not sure if he can do it....didnt happen against marquez

it still is IMO.
now would i look at that and say Floyd beats him because he beat Marquez easily?.. maybe if i was retarded, but no.
Pacquiao had little to no change since that fight.
Freddy Roach even mentioned it.
They are just fighting the right people he said... (his own words)
Its not relevant anymore. Manny's not going to go down to 135 just to fight JMM again.He's on a diff level now,bigger fights, bigger names,bigger bucks
