    I just rewatched it again, absolutely amazing performance.

        If beating a fighter who jumped three weight divisions for the first time is such a great win for FLoyd, Why wouldn't fans want to see a great win for Floyd against GGG? after all, weight you say does not matter that much, skills do, lets make GGG happen, prove it. .

          Bradley/Marquez was a spectacular performance.

          No one cheated the scales, no one had to come up in weight.... even playing field. Plus Marquez had cemented himself in 147 after KO'ing Pac.

              Always get this from Floyd fans.

              Marquez vs Floyd: It had nothing to do with Marquez who was just getting his feet wet at 135 (2 fights) and having to jump 2 more divisions. It doesn't matter that Marquez never fought at 140 nor at 147. Size don't win fights, skills pays the bills.

              Cotto vs Floyd at 160: I hope this fight happens. It would be a dream come true. Imagine Floyd getting another title at 160?

              GGG vs Floyd: Floyd never fought at 160. Why doesn't GGG move up to 168?

                That fight was easily the most dramatic showcase Distance Control ever had. Floyd's infinitely greater footspeed, agility and overall athleticism against the popsickle stick legs of Marquez made that fight so completely unfair I could barely watch it. It was like Michael Jordan versus a guy in a wheelchair. Marquez had so little business in the ring with Floyd it's disgusting.

                  You are right. It was disgusting from the get go. Floyd took advantage of the situation of having a guy come up nearly 3 divisions. Marquez hit the scales at a flabby 142 while Floyd cheated on the scales and came 2lbs above the initially contracted weight. Floyd played his fans by saying that Marquez was #2 P4P but leaving out the part that he didn't belong at WW, had no fights at 140, had no fights at 147. Heck, Marquez only had 2 fights at 135!

                  Like you said, that version of Marquez had no business fighting at WW. Blame Floyd for accepting it!
