Mayweather vs Marquez would have been epic if they was the same size

He wasn't outmuscled, he was outboxed. Mayweather used the ring and the jab to keep Marquez from being able to set up his counterpunches, which tend to be most effective in exchanges, which Mayweather didn't allow. Maybe the speed was a factor, but you have to remember that Mayweather was much quicker, in both foot and handspeed at 130 as well.Comment

if they were the same size floyd wouldn't have fought himMan did I get pumped pre fight, I give Floyd credit for the win despite the size difference but it really would be been a GREAT win on his resume if they were at the same weight.
I still get pumped seeing pics pre fight, two excellent counter punchers going at it, the best of the sweet science!

c'mon man, marquez has no business at 147 lbs.He wasn't outmuscled, he was outboxed.

Sure, maybe he doesn't, but he wanted it and if Mayweather had used his strength and size to plow past Marquez i'd agree with you, but he didn't. He outboxed him and at 130 he would have done the same or worse.
c'mon man, Mayweather was a beast at the lower weightclasses.Comment

none of the bigger opponents are nearly as good as jmm.
it's not about floyd's size and strength, but marquez's lack of size and strength at 147 lbs.
never said he wouldn't or wasn't, but the fight was at 147 not 130 so you can't really say that can you?He outboxed him and at 130 he would have done the same or worse.
