Floyd's defense was ****in awesome, I give him that, but the counter-punching JMM that went life-and-death with Pacquiao was the attacker tonight... Plus, the weight disparity is an obvious disadvantage for JMM... It was a great tactical fight for Floyd, but he really didn't beat the best JMM there is...
    good call bro and I have to agree with you ...

    but damned good performance from floyd, he showed his remarkable defense and fast fast jab...

      Kevin Iole, in his post-fight article, asserts that it is Mayweather who wears the P4P crown.

      It will be interesting to see the Ring Magazine rankings in October.

      Cong****, Floyd. That was an impressive performance.
      Those overpaid media types obviously don't understand the concept of POUND-FOR-POUND rankings.

        I expected Floyd to dominate and stop him late...

        It was even more one sided than I thought...but he didn't knock him out...
        Dominating a pound for pound number 2 fighter the way he did makes Floyd an automatic number 2.Floyd's way better than Manny Pacquiao,Pacquiao is not even in the same league

          Floyd jab was amazing. I really think the lay off benefited him. Best performance since the Gatti fight IMO

            the next fight will determine that.

            the dominance was good but floyd needed to stop him or put him on the floor more than once to truly impress.

              Do you believe that you know more about boxing than Iole?

                Nah. look at marquez' punch output. He went into defensive mode. He was happy to just survive.

                  I think that having Big Floyd in camp was a good thing. FMJ said that FMS kept stressing the jab to him.

                  Is there a punch in the book that Floyd Mayweather, Jr doesn't throw beautifully?

                    "On Saturday, he(Floyd Mayweather Jr.) reestablished himself as the best in the world. Until he’s challenged, he’ll carry the title of world’s best boxer, but not its best fighter."
                    Bag, thanks for the attempt to mislead . The actual quote below:

                    LAS VEGAS – There was never any question what was going to happen Saturday in the ring at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. Floyd Mayweather Jr. was too big, too fast, too smart and too strong for Juan Manuel Marquez, who had nothing more than a fluke chance at victory.

                    Mayweather should undoubtedly reassume the throne atop the various pound-for-pound rankings.


                    Best fighter in the world, though?

                    Well, that might be another question....

                      How do become P4P #1 by beating a smaller man? That just makes the whole P4P concept sound even more ridiculous.
