Let's not be naive here I don't mean like 5, 6, or 7 month layoffs.. I'm not sure if it would be considered marquee cause of the weight, but Floyd's layoff vs Marquez is what I mean minus the weight classes.
Mayweather's win over Marquez skill for skill is one of the most impressive wins after a exodus in the past 25 years 'Floyd Mayweather Junior still weighed in at 146 pounds, 1 pound under the 147 weight limit'.
Marquez I personally don't think won a single round 'Maybe 1 round at most' etc.
SRL over Hagler after a 1mo shy of 3yr layoff maybe the best layoff W in history. At very least its gotta be in the running for one of the best layoff W's in history. Thats a HOFer vs HOFer fight.
Leonard moved up to Hagler's weight class too.
the WW to MW move is the hardest in boxing.
look what happened to a massive, active prime WW in Kell Brook. 5 rounds.
Ali after 3 1/2 years vs Jerry Quarry. Foreman vs Moore 17 month layoff but he was fckn 45 , TITO (close to 2 1/2 years) vs Mayorga.
Hmm
You don't have to look that far.
Benavidez was 10 months and 4 days layoff.
Plant was 5 months and 10 days layoff, which is not even considered one.
Ironically I didn't really TRY to think of any when I made the thread lol. I just thought about the question because of Canelo Charlo etc. But when I did put a little thought into it this did come to mind.
Ali Frazier 1
Leonard Hagler
Frazier came off a 5 month layoff..
SRL that's a good one but did he win? Ehh
He said minus the weight class.
I swear dudes on this site are remedial, this shìt not even about Floyd take that shìt somewhere else.
He said minus the weight class.
Thats just tipping the scales in Floyd's favor.
I must have forgot where I am at. More excuses for this guy who if posed with a similar challenge, would be too scared to take it.

Marquez was a lightweight just one fight prior. No
