      Marquez was slower at the weight, his punches carried no power and was easily outmuscled by Floyd.

      Marquez vs Mayweather at 130 would have been great.

        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.

          I still get pumped seeing pics pre fight, two excellent counter punchers going at it, the best of the sweet science!
          if they were the same size floyd wouldn't have fought him

                  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.

                    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.

                    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.
                    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?

                      wouldn't have mattered.....in a battle of counterpunchers the faster guy usually takes it........
