I'd have to say Marquez. That was a near perfect performance. I'll never forget how embarrassed he was in his corner when Mosley caught him flush. First time I seen him walk someone down at Welter.

That was just a bad stylistic match up for Marquez. It was more to do with Marquez then how good Floyd was at the time.
I feel he finished his prime with Ortiz to be honest.
Mayweather's feet at times looked like they were stuck in cement, and it's from that point on that people started saying he was losing his legs, definitely not.
He still looked very sharp then but defintely lost a step.
But the decline since that fight has been pretty rapid. If you compare his speed in that fight and today it's drastically different. Even the pad work in the build up. Huge difference.
But then if you look at his pad work from 2005 it's drastically different to 2011.
I disagree. BUT when he had that tough fight with Cotto, man...
Mayweather's prime ended with Marquez, a fight in which he could move instinctively and turn his left hook over a lot better. As for his physical prime, that ended at 140.
