    Mayweather put on a clinic that night. The traps, oh the traps. Made a great fighter look ordinary like all great fighters do. However, I would say there was an unfair advantage due to Marquez's size.

      Styles make fights...

      Manny might have destroyed Castillo at 135 and not gone live and death with him and needed a rematch

Who was a dead man walking in the weight scale. Everyone ranging from Andre Ward to Jim lampley commented on how weak he was. If you can't see that then that's just being a fanboy.
        First of all Marquez is not known for his speed or footwork so I don't know why you bring up those two attributes. He's counter puncher with an above average boxing IQ. Mayweather out boxed him because he is on a whole other level of skills. Marquez stalked Pacquiao for 3 more fights because he felt he was better than him but not once asked for a rematch with Mayweather. That speaks volumes Mate!

        Was Canelo weak or was he considerably slower than Mayweather? Did you see how slow he was to react to those snapping jabs Mayweather was landing. Who cares what Lampley or Ward thought about how weak Canelo was. In fact, the only excuse Canelo made at the post fight interview was that Mayweather moved too much.
