    Why should anyone accept 60-40 without any Pay-Per-View earnings. Pac and Floyd were equal in P4P rankings, and Floyd was barely ahead of Pacquiao in terms of Pay-Per-View buy rate and earnings back in 2012.

    Something along the lines of 55-45 in Floyds favor with PPV revenue going to each fighter according top the percentage they signed up for would sound very reasonable.

    60-40 with no PPV is completely unjust, and unacceptable.

    Only a ****** like yourself could ever be convinced that is fair in any minute detail.

    Umm I don't know what fight you were watching but his performance against Katsidis, despite getting KD, was probably one of his finest showing. Especially his display of combination punching which was incredible to watch. His performance against Diaz was pretty good as well since he had to brawl, and he eventually adjusted to Diaz's bullrushing.

    Styles make fights in the end. Marquez looks better against guys that come after him.

    I agree he does have underrated boxing skill. He's become a much better boxer later in his career.

    Lol you're not biased at all. Everytime Marquez fought good slick boxers he struggled or got schooled, Mayweather shut him out completely and made him look like an amateur, Bradley beat his ass,Norwood made him look like **** and Norwood didnt move much and i wouldnt consider him particularly a slick boxer, A shot to pieces Casamayor was fighting an even fight with when he got stopped, hell even the mediocre Julian Wheeler made Marquez look like **** by moving and boxing only a terrible premature stoppage from the ref in the last round saved Marquez from defeat.

    Marquez looks great against a certain style of fighter, aggressive guys who over commit to their punches against slick skilled boxers with good footwork he looks average.

    JMM's KO victory was due to a lot of help from Pac's straight forward offensive style.
    The KO was due to 40% timing, 30% Pop, and 30% of Pac's forward momentum.
    So, power isn't everything.

    Yup the forward momentum helps, but I am not only talking about that. I am also talking about JMM's other TKO/KO.

    Void truly believes that he will lose to Pac if they were to fight, so Void makes up one excuse after another. I have never seen a boxer so afraid of another boxer as I have Void..............

    Amen!

    He needs an equalizer power and speed against those boxers. But to me his power is overrated and speed can kill and can get you killed as well. So yeah, i think Pacquiao is a notch below those boxers including Morales in terms of skills.

    He's definitely a much better boxer now then he was 10 years ago. But not even half the fighter in my opinion. And he still aint got **** for Floyd.

    Every skill fighter will expose overly aggressive fighters and they all will look better against them than they would someone who's constantly on the move.
    The great Pernell Whitaker could'nt find an average fighter in Diobylis Hurtado because Hurtado was faster and slicker than he was.

    Its a given that any great fighter will shine better against the aggressive fighter.
    Mayweather had trouble against Judah because Judah was a little quicker than he was.

    Derrick Gainer is a slickster that all he did was run run run vs Marquez.
    Greats like Marquez break them down and beat them anyways, that Marquez was robbed against several which included Norwood and John is just part of boxing politics and has nothing to do with Marquez being unable to beat slicksters.

    if pac was not endowed with speed and power, do you think he will be a boxer today? if he were then he would adopt a different style to suit his natural attributes.
     
  15. The thing is, he's done this for awhile. He boxed against de la Hoya, Diaz, margarito, and Marquez (3x).

    This is nothing new.
