    if jmm was an actual WW he would've taken more chances and the hole dynamic of the fight would've changed. I ain't saying floyd would'a lost, just that it would've been a lot more competitive.

      Mayweather beats JMM at any point in his career and at any weight class.

        I know most of you guys are newer fans, but I hope you realize that Morales and Mab wouldn't even mention Marquez's name when he was coming up. It was like all of boxing wouldn't even talk about him because everyone knew he might mess up the trilogy and become the best man standing.

        I was surprised when Pac fought him the first time TBH.

        Floyd vs Marquez was a disgrace.

            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?
            Mayweather's advantages over Marquez would have been greater when he was at 130. Marquez would have had more speed but like i said so would Mayweather and he'd still be faster, and I can say that because the fight took place and played out the way it did at 147 when Mayweather was slower in hand as well as foot speed. I guess what i'm saying is the difference would be small and the outcome would be the same, Mayweather would have been faster and the better all around boxer on fight night regardless of weight.


            Don't see why i can't state my opinion based on performance and skill simply cause you don't agree with it or just rather not give credit where it's due, but then again that's no surprise.

              like I said, I ain't saying floyd wouldn't win at 130 lbs, but the fight at 147 doesn't have any implications for a fight at 130 lbs. JMM was fat, flabby, woefully undersized and lacking in power and speed at 147. you can't just write off jmm at 130 lbs against floyd.

              floyd always wins fantasy fights, but that's why fights are won in the ring and not in fantasy land.

                I still get pumped seeing pics pre fight, two excellent counter punchers going at it, the best of the sweet science!
                same size, same age
                it was a total joke

                two counterpuncher waiting who punch first will never be an epic type of fight :/
