Marquez KOing Pacquiao more impressive than any Mayweather victory?

[Cuauhtémoc1520]

Some fighters have defining fights, Mayweather really doesn't have one. Maybe you can say DLH? Outside of that, he hasn't been tested by anyone outside of Castillo.

JMM has been made better and his legacy has grown because of Manny Pacquaio. JMM knocking out Manny, IS his defining legacy.

What about the 12 round shutout win over Marquez himself after a 2 year layoff? One can argue Marquez is superior to Manny give his devastating KO win over Manny.

yea...you talk to boxing observers 10 years from now and ask them about the impacts of both wins


you would get laughed at

Just thinking if Mayweather actually had a win to rival Marquez knocking Pacquiao out. De La Hoya was a great opponent but probably past prime + he took Mayweater to an SD. Floyd KO of Hatton took him 10 rounds, Pacquiao knocked out Hatton in 2. Can't compare Pacquiao and Hatton as fighters anyway.

What you think - that one knockout by Marquez beats any Mayweather victory? The opponent, Pacquiao, was superior and the outcome (devastating KO) was more decisive than any fight Mayweather has ever won? Guess it depends on how you look at it..

On a one fight basis:

Performance wise- no. Mayweather corrales was a complete domination from start to finish.

Fighter wise- yes. Manny "all time wise"is better than anyone floyd has beaten "all time wise".

It was an ok win, tainted by mayweather( who's always in great shape) just "happen to not make weight" against marquez coming up two weight divisions. Yeah he got cheated on the scales brah.

You don't make weight you don't get credit.

lol c'mon.....

and the whining from his online haters.

I think this happened in 2009, September, believe Floyd was coming off a 2 year layoff. Insanely hard footage to find, but I managed to pull out this rarity. It's in color too
