    Marquez does.

    He fought like a true warrior last night and refused to be stopped even though he was being consistantly caught flush by a significantly larger man.

    The guy is just the man that boxing needs and i hove he can go back to lightweight and win a couple more big fights before he's done because he deserves it.

    No disrespect to floyd as he boxed brilliantly. But marquez wasn't near to providing him with a challenge. I hope he takes a leaf from Marquez's book and mans up and takes Mosley's challenge as its the fight that i and im sure most fans would like to see.

    I think the winner of Pac-Cotto is more likely than Mosely.

    Mosley vd Mayweather is an easy make. Pac vs Mayweather will not happen and I think the Cotto fight is still very distant.


    Marquez is cetainly a warrior.

    I thought Marquez might win two or three rounds, and IMO thats what he did. No loss of respect at all. In fact he done really well to make it to the end of the fight, being that he was totally out-gunned in every department from the very start of the fight.

    Mayweather boxed brilliantly, but its not like in years to come we'll be saying "what a great performance that was, punching bits out of a Marquez who was fighting at least two divisions north of his natural weight division."

    The most entertaining part of last night was when Mosley jumped in at the end, Floyd looked like he was about to cry. That's the fight I want to see next, Mosley is a serious threat to Floyd's undefeated record. Floyd always complains that certain fighters, such as Pac and Cotto, don't call him out directly. The same can't be said of Shane. Get it on, Shane by KO.

    i agree with mazallan i can see there being issues in brokering a deal between floyd and pac/cotto. Plus he can't really deny Mosely's challenge now. He said himself that Mosely was disrespecting him last night.

    If Floyd beats Mosley I reckon people will say Shane was too old. Lets not forget Shane might have been the 1st opponent in years to face Marg without the plaster wraps and might have made the performance look easier than it was.

    Floyd by a comfortable points victory against Mosley imo.

    Kellerman is still an asswipe though lol :D

    Credit to JMM for hanging in there.

    The fight looked the way i imagined when it was first announced...a faded Marquez fighting a guy 2 weight divisons above him.

    Now lets see him fight Pacman, who has proven speed and power north of 140lbs. Surely only Mosley, Williams and Cotto would be the remaining opponents that would satisfy HBO.
