    stronger, more skilled and more powerful than jmm at 130.
    it would be worse than the fight they had, jmm would be more competitive but would get pounded out and stopped for the first and so far last time in his career.

    you guys that come up with all this mythical hypothetical BS fights to try and find any way possible for Floyd to lose just proves how great you truly know he was and really still is.

    he was so great back then, even now at about 70% of what he was he is still the best around. not saying unbeatable, dude is old and ggg would phuck him up and I think a rematch with canelo is almost a for sure loss.

    we will see what the future holds. if I was him, I would truly have a fair well fight for free in SHO and take **** money so SHO doesn't lose out on it, and the retire the king of all time

    At 130 Morales could match him in height. He would be stronger and have a sturdier chin. He could match him in precison and stamina too.

    Would be an extremely tough fight for Floyd.

    MORALES at 130 is a masterclass technician.

    What, 8 fights at the weight and 4 losses or something? Masterclass indeed.

    Morales was totally dominated by Zahir Raheem. And people think he'd have done well against Mayweather? Hahaha - that's all kinds of crazy.

    No he wouldn't. PBF at 130 was stronger than EM was there had as good if not better chin than EM and his stamina was better to. EM is not going to outbox PBF nor is he going to knock him out, so I'll ask you again for the 10th time how does he beat him?:hi:

    After the first Pacquiao fight he became worn down.

    Being worn down is a strike against his greatness. He was basically done at 32. Longevity is a part of greatness:deal Guys like PBF, Hopkins and Calzaghe all had longer careers than he did.

    it is very well remembered. floyd did not clean up and dominate his divisions when he was prime. he is just getting the good name opponents now that they are past prime and he is still fast on his feet. most of floyd's best wins were against past prime opponents. he did not deteriorate as fast because he retired and unretired, just fights once a year, and just boxes in the ring to score points for a win.

    He chased the money like all boxers do. he could have stayed at 130-140 but then how would he ever fight Oscar or Mosley? Floyd fights more than once a year. He has been fighting twice a year since doing the show time deal. He's fighting fighters past their prime? so what he's 38 way past his prime for a fighter. "just boxes in the ring" wtf is he suppose to do there stand there and trade when he has the skills to hit and not get hit?

    He did but did you actually expect a POS troll like Boxing disaster to honor it. This troll actually tried to get me to do the same ban bet with him.

    Yes, he would not engage. He would not be a killer.

    If Floyd engaged with Marquez and bit down on his mouth piece, he would get mouth pieced.
