      Floyd-Oscar was high speed chess...I wasn't bored

      The Hatton fight had to be that way...if Hatton didn't try to wrestle with Floyd he wudda been stopped earlier...

        most FW are considered old around the age of 30.

          Beating an old, blown up Marquez should qualify Floyd for top 10 ATG status, surely.

            So you feel the Majority of Floyd's fights have been boring? Serious question. I always wonder if people really feel that way or they just say it because they don't like the guy.

                Beating Mexico's finest boxer who is P4P 2 in the world will one of Floyd's career highlight, it will be even better if he makes him quit like Ortiz

                  No, but Morales, JMM, Barrera and Hatton did.

                  And even DLH was younger than Marquez will be against Floyd.

                    I (and a lot of people here) still want to see jmm vs Pac III. I don't think too many will complain about the age if that happens so I don't see why we should now. The weight we can complain about. 140 would be perfect but 144 is not as bad as some would make it seem.

                      That can only be a good comparison if Marquez is weight drained...
