Floyd did well against common opponents because of circumstances. You have to admit they promoted the **** out of the Floyd-Oscar fight. C'mon, it was billed as "the fight that will save boxing". People were drooling when the fight was announced. When Oscar-Pac was proposed, fans and critics **** all over it calling it a "mismatch" or circus type of fight.
Hatton was undefeated and on top of the 140 lb class. He just beat Tzsyu and Castillo, the guy who beat Mayweather the same way Marquez beat Pac (according to fans who re-write history).
And Marquez was Mayweather's first fight in almost two years. The whole world was curious to see it. If that fight happened two years before, no one would give a damn and that would have been a real tune-up, not a comeback fight. When Pac and Marquez fought the second time, both of them still weren't in Mayweather's level yet as far PPV numbers.
