If Marquez was 5'8, had a 26 inch reach, and was as athletic and as fast as Floyd Mayweather and was allowed a TUE for testosterone, he would have ko'd Floyd Mayweather even when cheated on the scales.

26 inch reach eh, really? serious?
Marquez looked much, much fitter against Pac in the third fight than he did against Mayweather in 09'. Marquez was already working with Heredia for the third Pacquiao fight and already had at least one 147 fight under his belt.
Against Mayweather, Marquez only had 1 fight at lightweight prior to moving up to 147, so he was essentially moving up 3 divisions to fight Mayweather.
no he didn't.............people overrated his fitness in the 3rd fight but in realty he was around the same level of fitness as he was with mayweather. he had just moved with herdia so herdia was only able to make minor tweaks. in the 4th fight is where his physical fitness was actually dramatically changed (although he looked slow and bulked down) him being in much greater fitness in the 3rd fight is a big fat myth. not to mention the 3rd fight was almost 2 years later after the mayweather bout.

If **** looked and smelled like roses, I would use it as a centerpiece on my dining room table. You should delete this useless thread.
you're a bum. marquez is a professional boxer. not like some average joe that's just going to start boxing because he has those physical advantages. reverse the situation then, if floyd had marquez's physical body and marquez had his, Marquez would win every single time.
I think this is my third post. I must reply. Let me start of by saying Marquez is one of my favorite active fighters. Top 3, so this isnt a knock on him.
U r saying that if Marquez was Floyd, then Marquez would be better then Floyd? Is that a paradox?
If Marquez was Floyd he wouldnt be Marquez. Floyd is on another level when it comes to boxing. Best of this generation, and its not just because of physical tools, though that is part of it.
judah was smaller than floyd you idiot and pac is the same physical size as marquez and marquez has his number. fcks sake stay on topic.
floyd is not smarter than marquez. if they were evenly matched physically marquez would clown floyd.
thats what makes floyd floyd, nobody is evenly matched with him, marquez is smarter than most but not smarter than floyd. floyd has never been all bashed up in a fight, marquez has and floyd fights way bigger guys than marquez does on a consistant basis
excuses
thats the exact same marquez who out boxed pac in the 3rd fight.........
I'll admit that he looked more muscular in the 4th fight (but he also looked slower)

Dude you really are trolling. Zab has the same reach and is only a 1/2 inch shorter than Floyd.
Floyd Mayweather - Height: 5′ 8″/Reach: 72″
Zab Judah - Height: 5′ 7½″/Reach: 72″
Juan Manuel Marquez - Height: 5′ 7″/Reach: 67″
Manny Pacquiao - Height: 5′ 6½″/Reach: 67″
We can talk about could of, would of, should if, if only... all day. It means nothing. Except the facts dude, Floyd is better. In the immortal words of the great Marlo Stansfield, "You want it to be one way..........But it's the other way."
hey that was fat marquez. This new mini hulk MArquez would make floyd his son.

Mayweather is clearly the better fighter than Marquez. Even Marquez himself admits Mayweather is the best. I'm not even a fan of Mayweather due to his personality, but he's an excellent fighter. He's the best at the moment.

Usually u Cant argue this when the fighter lost to the guy your saying he's better then. So can I say Cotto is better then Trout??? If he was 5'9 instead of 5'7 with a longer reach, faster hands and a little more power. He would have knocked out Trout.
