Marquez, who "couldnt compete at 147" is now the #3 welterweight, Knocking TFO of the #1 or #2 welterweight in the world. That Win has aged pretty well huh?
People talk about Floyd not having a signature win. I think it's the Marquez win. Other than Floyd, Marquez is probably the most successful and intelligent counter puncher in the game. He annihilated the guy who many people call the best fighter in the world in Pacquiao. And Floyd utterly dominated him. Made him look like an amateur. It was a beautiful display of Floyd's mastery in the ring.
No it doesn't. It's Floyd so the win means nothing. If anyone else near the weight class had done it then they would be a legend. I can't imagine what this board would be like right now if Matthysee sparked him
