Marquez had just gone from 130 to 135. Even then, Floyd took no chances and fought carefully. Not only I'm saying this Marquez said it!
Some have a missed opportunity but Floyd has more than one. He could have silenced everyone but chose not to.
I have no problem with Floyd fighting for money but then one can't come back and say, Floyd took on all comers because he didn't .... not even close and that is why we use the word overrated.

Originally posted by Mr.Smith View PostI like the fight as far as the technical side of it. The chess match. As I said had he imposed his size I would give him 0 credit. I rather see a match of wit than a brawl. That's the closest ill get to seeing a truly high level chess match. Yes I know I'm boring. I also watch pool championships for the sane reason.
Floyd was fighting in his division so he felt good. Marquez was fighting 2 to 3 divisions higher than he was accustomed to. So he was not comfortable and out of shape trying to make the WW weight.
A chess match where the outcome is known is not exciting. It has to be competitive or else there is no point! Floyd fans were saying "but Marquez is rated #2 P4P" ..... but they are in different weight classes!!! That is when the resume is overrated.
