      If Mayweather doesn't face Shane or winner of Cotto vs Pacquiao, I'll agree he is ducking. Till then, we should all wait.

        I agreed with some of it ; but how the hell does he put Floyd tied with Pacquiao as #1P4P?

        He's had 1 fight in the last 2 years against a blownup Lightweight, and likely won't fight again until 2010.

        How does that put him above everybody else who's been busting their ass before (and after) Floyd's retirement to get a spot on the list?

        Maybe after his next fight but right now it makes no sense to me.

          I only listened to the first 2 minutes of it cus I don't have 10 min to waste right now but it was absolutely accurate to that point.
          What some people are failing to see is that Floyd did not fight this fight as the bigger guy, he fought it as the fastest guy, Floyd might as well have weighed less than Marquez in this fight. Like the guy in the video says, if you're a bigger fighter you're supposed to be getting hit more because you're slower.
          As an example of this just take a look at DLH vs. Hopkins when Oscar challenged the much bigger Bernard and according to many people dominated the first 5 or 6 rounds because he was much faster and was flurrying alot and hitting Bernard with much faster shots until the SIZE of Bernard finally played an advantage in that his power was too overwhelming for Oscar because he didn't have the quantity but he had the QUALITY of power when he landed that big bomb on his kidney and knocked Oscar out.

          In this fight however it was the complete opposite, Floyd was supposedly "bigger" yet that had nothing to do with the fact that he was ten times faster than Marquez too and his defense was ten times better which allowed Marquez to connect only at like a 19% rate. How was Floyd's "size" responsible for a 80% connect rate or whatever ridiculous number it was that he put out on Marquez? So it's very simple, point is is that Floyd simply outskilled Marquez and the size would have had no difference. The only way this fight would have been based on size is if Floyd knocked Marquez out or punished/hurt him often then people could honestly say "Well wow, Floyd's size played a major role" but like I said Floyd didn't fight like the bigger man, he fought like the faster, slicker and defensively better man. Case closed.

            Simply because Pacman's last 2 fights were Floyd's left overs anyway, guys that Floyd beat far better and fresher versions of. So yes Floyd deserves to be back at #1 whether it's by himself or honorarily tied with Pac.

              I agree with some of it. The part with comparing Mayweather's performance over Pacquiao's is just silly, though. He completely disregards the fact that a lot of it has to do with Marquez losing a lot of his speed and reflexes from moving up. Basically, Mayweather > Pacquiao = Marquez is just an ignorant thing to say.

                It's not like he's never faced a Welterweight before...if you want to be honest about it he faced....Well, we not even going to go down that road....

                  Floyd decision'd Oscar at 154, and 10th round TKO'd Hatton at 147.

                  Manny annihilated Oscar at 147, and knocked Hatton cold in the 2nd at 140.

                  The comparison is similar but Pacquiao's performances were more impressive due to both being KO's, and Hatton being at his best weight of 140. Points taken away for Oscar being drained though and Floyd definitely fought the better version of De La Hoya.

                  I'd give him a spot on my top 10, but it wouldn't be anywhere in the top 5 based solely off of beating Marquez at Welterweight.
