    As great a jmm was and is, he made marquez come up from 135 to 142 and then floyd still came overwieght? how is that impressive.. at all?

    Besides, we all know marquez struggles with movers ie john, bradley. Not only did he have the size advantage, the skill advantage he also had the stylistic advantage. Stax on deck riggt there..

    Corrales and castillo 2 would probably most impressive for me?

      Floyd ducking Pac is obvious and the worst kept secret in the world.
      If Floyd chose to fight Pac and beats him, it will be a cherry picked fight once again. Floyd cant seem to escape that title because he should have fought and beat Pac way before JMM got to Pac.

      That's the trouble with Floyd he dithers while everyone else gets on with it, and his indecisiveness is his undoing. He gets it wrong time after time.

        arum gave Floyd a run of phillip ndou, victoriano soso, Corley, bruseles, gatti, sharmba, and zab coming off a loss to a bum. that's basically a 5 year vacation right there and all he asked for in return was a fight with margarita and Floyd ran. he even paid arum not to fight margarita. show some respect to the man who overhyped you and made you p4p #1 with clown fights.

            Pac is Floyds Master, Pac cant lose and is in a win win situation.
            If the fight don't happen, its cos Floyd DUCKED pac.
            If Floyd fights and beats Pac, it will be a cherry picked fight and win. As Floyd should have fought and beat Pac long before JMM koed Pac.

              He didn't make Marquez do anything. Marquez said he'd go up to 147 to fight Floyd, then they negotiated 144(Not 142 like you say), and Floyd came in 2lbs overweight. But the same Marquez at 144 and 147 respectively, but older, beat Pacquiao twice. Therefore if Floyd beats Pacquiao, I would list Marquez over Pacquiao in Floyd's top wins.

              Floyd had the height advantage, nothing else. Given Floyd's past fights, and recent fights, he always comes in at 149-151. Which was probably his weight in the Marquez fight, while Marquez was more than likely around 147-149 on fight night. Let's say Floyd was a Light Heavyweight like some like to claim, and he was 178lbs for some reason, like Reed said in a very good post a while back, Floyd having a size advantage over Marquez means squat, because Floyd doesn't fight like someone who uses his size, i.e. bullying, holding, mauling, pushing, headlocks, slamming, ankle locks, body slams, elbow drops, Swanton Bomb, Stone Cold Stunner, Rock Bottom, Chokeslam, Sharpshooter, Tombstone etc. Floyd is simply an outside boxer who will not use, and did not use his 30lbs weight advantage over Marquez that night, or against any fighter in any other night.

                    I don't recall any of those fighters saying " he needs to do this, he needs to do that, he has to beat so and so first".

                    Keep trying though, looks cute.
                    So nobody from Garcia/Thurman/Matthysse/Maidana/Khan would fight with Top Rank fighters because "Richard said he won't deal with Bob".

                    You seem very understanding on not conflicted with this.

                    Yet Haymon/Floyd/Richard won't deal with Bob, but now it's that Floyd is scared of Pacquiao, despite the problem is they won't deal with Bob.

                    Yes I admit I am pretty cute, and you are senile.
