    It's an acceptable comeback fight, but not a great win lol.

      I disagree you had a whole division of welterweights

      Floyd was avoiding the natural hard hitting welterweights like Williams and Margarito

          This is just emotionally immature pathologising of disagreement. Very boring.

Yet that didn't matter to Floyd as he didn't even make the weight. He weighted 146lbs. So you got a guy who came in bigger against an untested guy at 144lbs. Marquez had hip fat... There was zero surprise that he was going to win...

            At the point of Marquez facing Pac at 147lbs, he was SHREDDED. Whatever it took to get that, but at least you know now that he was ready for that weight class. I'm not saying a 147lbs shredded Marquez would have beat Floyd either, but it would of been a hella lot more impressive.

            Floyd basically did what Ryan Garcia did to Haney, except hopefully without the roids.
            Marquez could never beat Mayweather regardless of weight, body shape, steroids, or whatever other lame excuses you want to use.

            It's also funny how you conveniently left out that Mayweather was coming off a two year lay off.

              Ok so if that is the case, why did Mayweather need every conceivable advantage to fight him.

              He already had a natural height/reach advantage, and Marquez certainly was untested two weightclasses up

                Mayweather didn't force Marquez to fight him, clown. He also beat Marquez with skill. Not his size.

                  That's all irrelevant.

                    Same reason Manny drained Cotto and ODH and CW’d Margs- he used his power as the a side.

                    Stop complaining about that only when Floyd does it.

                      Manny wasn’t the a side vs Oscar. Oscar cherrypicked Manny for a catchweight fight

                      Manny didn't have every conceivable advantage against Cotto Oscar or Margarito not the same situation at all
