At what point in Floyds career did you realize he was the TBE?

A lot of fighters can take on a guy from a division lower than him and beat him.

Can't compare the 2. Marquez and Manny proved 4 times that their fights are competitive and give each other lots of problems. Secondly, they had a 3rd fight at 144 and Marquez did OK. Thirdly, Manny is a small WW that even though he had a WW belt, went down to 143 to fight Marquez.

Hatton proved NOTHING at 147.

One was a cherry pick and one was a rivalry ..... apples and oranges or should I say cherries!

How was it a cherry pick when Hatton himself called out Floyd in front of a packed arena? Hatton was undefeated and had fought at 147 before.

Marquez had NEVER fought at the welterweight limit when knocked out Pacquiao. Just because JMM gave Manny a tough fight at the lower weights does not mean he could beat Manny at the higher weights. Manny was considered as high as 9-1 favorite over Marquez before he got iced.

You're giving Manny a pass when he had more advantages over Marquez than Floyd did over Hatton.

WRONG, Marquez fought Mayweather at 147 moving up 3 divisions (from 130--only had 1 fight at 135) and had fought Pacquiao at 147 a year before their 5th fight (fought Fedchenko at 140 inbetween Pac fights).

Hatton had fought his last fight at 140, and his only prior venture to 147 was a robbery over perennial journeyman Collazo.

And it was a cherrypick because Mayweather fought a short guy moving up 7 pounds in weight instead of the other champs/top contenders in his division: prime Margarito, Williams, Cotto, Forrest, etc. who were knocking on his door.

You are wrong, Marquez fought Mayweather at 144 and Floyd came in at 146, not the welterweight limit of 147. Do you research before replying. Marquez and Pacquiao fought at the same catchweight that Marquez fought Mayweather at (144) and both guys weighed less than that. Again do you research.

Again Hatton had accustomed himself to 147 while Marquez NEVER had, and catchweights don't count.

Mayweather and Marquez fought at welterweight idiot.
Welterweight=147-140

Yeah, they were supposed to fight at a 144 catchweight but Floyd failed to make weight, so what, the fight was at welterweight. The same principle applies to your other ******ed statements.

Hatton lost (bad judging aside) to Collazo in his only welterweight fight at the time, then went on to fight twice at 140 so he never accustomed himself to the welterweight division. There's no need to make up 'facts' to suit your agenda son.

You could make a much better case about Marquez getting accustomed to 147 going into the Pacquiao fight given he already had 2 welterweight fights and a JWW fight.

He will retire top 10 all time with ease.

Obviously, you can't read. I said the welterweight "limit" which is 147 lbs. Marquez had never fought that high so stop acting as if he did. In your first statetment you said Marquez fought Mayweather at 147 which is not true. Now you're back tracking. If Marquez fought Mayweather at welterweight I guess it's no big deal that Floyd showed up 2 lbs over weight? Of course it was, because fighting at the limit is not quite the same as fighting at a catchweight. Try again bum bum
