Mayweather fought a 36 year old Marquez, but you want him to fight 39 year old Shane?

    There's no one left to fight but mosley, pac, or cotto regardless of age. If he's not gonna fight either one of these three he needs to just go away.

      I'm not saying that. I'm saying that people who are criticzing that Marquez is to old is not a valid excuse when they want him to fight a 39 year old Shane Mosley.

      Floyd should fight Shane Mosley (Pacquiao first), but Marquez is not to the point where age is really a huge factor for why he'd lose. He lost because he was outskilled and it wasn't his weight class.

        Mosley is bigger better and a natural ww so dnt compare a lil guy to a big one or should i say the man or second best in the division(Cotto#1)

          I agree. i say despite age, both fighters are damn good. The Age thing isn't the best excuse, I beliebe Marquez got better with age anyway. With Mosley, maybe. Mosley is alot slower than he was but, he's got experience , and I believe he's loooking a lot better now that ****m is training him.

                Ideally, Floyd should have fought Shane years ago.

                With JMM, Floyd had both a AGE and SIZE advantage. With Shane, Floyd will have the age advantage again, but at least Shane's the same size as he is.

                      I'll be rooting for Cristobal, any word on how much he's weighing or what kinda shape he'll be in? He has to be in better shape than he was for the mccline and walker fights.
