Rewatched Mayweather Jr vs Marquez fight..

[AFighter4U]

all i can say is that it is to marquez' credit that floyd didn't/couldn't/wouldn't (depends who you are asking) knock him out in spite of all the advantages he had over marquez.

a lightweight would get mauled by most decent ww you fool

he wasnt a tune up, he was a regular floyd fight because he is scared of a true challenge against a prime fighter in their best condition like pac, cotto or margo

bull****..ya'll claim mannys a lightweight..why isnt he getting mauled??

Look the only reason I created this thread was to say I was impressed with how Marquez was able to last against Mayweather, and frustrate him with his style. I think he doesn't get enough credit for doing that.

Doesn't mean I'm not saying it wasn't a great performance by Floyd because it was.

From what I can tell, Marquez only landed 3 good punches the entire fight and one of them he paid for with a knockdown

And I was actually quite impressed with how many times Marquez was able to tag Floyd in ways I barely see any other fighter do. It actually frustrated Floyd a lot.

I reckon, both fighters at their best weight would have been a great boxing match - I still think Floyd would take it, but it would have been so much more exciting say at 130 or 135.

Still, the more I watch Marquez, the more I rate him as a boxer... deffo a future HOF.

I never saw Floyd frustrated in that entire fight, it looked like Floyd was in cruise control the entire time to me.

He just wouldn't. It was painfully obvious that Mayweather was just putting in the rounds and if he wanted, he could have beat Marquez up enough to stop him. He may not knock him out cold, but Mayweather could have had that fight stopped at any time he wanted.

TS is just confusing Mayweather-Marquez with Pacquiao-Marquez, yes for stretches of the fight JMM dominated Pac not so much Floyd.

[Battle*Hardened]

He got hit like 5 times the entire fight?

People say JMM didnt land anything, but i never hear FLoyd say he never got hit! I never hear JMM say he didnt land anything on Floyd, although he does say Floyd was hard to hit properly.

That performance doesnt do JMM justice really, and JMM will go down as a ATG boxer potentially.
