Floyd shouldn't get undue credit for this win. People seem to think that because it was a boxing lesson - weight wasn't a factor in the fight. If you box, you will know that this argument is invalid. Floyd outweighed Marquez by around 12 pounds (my belief) on fight night. Sometimes I am asked to box people who are smaller than me but are technically on a similar level. However, I can outbox them easily because their lack of weight means that they can't hurt or push me around. I can relax and let my combos fly with greater ease than would be the case if i was sparring someone equally as large and equally as skilled as myself.
Put it this way - if you were sparring somebody much lighter than you would you be relaxed enough to do the flashy defense and skills (you will know what I mean if you box) more easily? You inevitably look better with smaller guys irrespective of skill difference.
For the most part, Floyd has done all of this with MOST of the fighters he has fought, many of them being a lot bigger than him, so I am not sure how it applies. It's what he doesn't in most of his fights.
So you're not giving Mayweather ANY credit because of the weight difference?
So I'm guessing you'd pick Zab Judah to destroy JMM in similar fashion if they fought at 147?
LOL! You see how silly that sounds?
An objective minded person can clearly see that Floyd beat JMM based on skills first and foremost.
Weight played a factor but a very small factor.
JMM barely landed a punch on Floyd. So you can't blame that on weight. That's called ELITE DEFENSE.
Also, Floyd came out of his semi-retirement to fight JMM. Ring rust surely effected Floyd as well.
Nothing in that fight told me that it would be different at 135. Hell, Floyd was faster at 135, so if JMM couldn't hit a 147 Floyd then how will he do it at 135?
LOL!
this is such a ******ed biased post....
you should sit down and think before you write.
I'll start with one and maybe that'll put you on the right track...
Floyd was faster at 135 because it was 9-12 years ago, not because of the weight.
Chupa. BTW, do you know what chupa in spanish means? So apropos.
Look at this childish ****..................."oh chupa it's so apropriate for you...oh what a funny name...".............You miss grade 3?. Like that is my real name..........LOL!!
Big difference between overpowering Marquez with size and power and totally outclassing him with skillz. So there are NOT a number of Welterweights that would've done the same thing.
no, they would have run right through him like kats and diaz almost did

Calling someone childish and finishing with "owned."
