One goes without saying - in the Marquez fight, both were past their prime; but Manny was showing some offensive brilliance and taking Marquez apart before that counter left.
In the Floyd fight, Floyd was/is past his prime - but Manny was beyond washed up. Floyd fought a shell and was content with coasting. To be honest; at this point - neither of them really wanted to get hurt and go for broke. It was an expensive sparring session that they were both okay to participate in.
Marquez - fought the best version of Pac, won decisively with a KO that made the guy's poor wife cry
Mayweather - fought a war weary Pac, won on points on AMERICAN SOIL, the outcome is still debated to this day. Instead of a rematch to remove all doubt, chose to fight Berto and still went for a decision win.
JMM and those who voted Mayweather are the biggest wankers on the planet

Marquez didn't fought the best version of pac cotto did and after the margarito fight he was already in decline and slow.
Marquez, and anyone who pretends otherwise is having a hard time with the truth. No one puts much stake in the Mayweather loss because it was a garbage fight. The news story the next day was how disappointing the fight of the century was, and that will always eclipse who won or lost. After the Marquez KO, there is no mistaking what the take-away from that fight was.
