I don't miss Floyd at all. or Hopkins. The whole handpicking at the right time thing takes something away from boxing for me. I respect the skill level who doesn't but it seems more that the objective is finding a way to win before the fight even happens and then talking about MTM as though the money aspect is the most important thing. To the fans not really.
I dont even think he was the most well balanced Mexican Featherweight of his own era. Marco Antonio Barrera could punch, pressure, counter and box. Marquez wasn't much of a pressure fighter and he wasnt very adept at taking the lead. And among the three great Mexican Featheerweights I'd say that Morales matches up historically H2H against a field of Festherweights. Due to his iron chin, tremendous height and reach and he was quicker than Marquez or Barrera.
Personally, Morales is my favorite but in all honesty a case can be made for all three. It’s actually pretty mind blowing to think that there were three definite HOFers, if not legit ATGs, in the same weight class from the same country at the same time!
All three (Morales, Marquez, Barrera) avoided Mexico's Humberto Soto from 2005-2010 when Soto challenged them. Even Manny Pacquiao, Edwin Valero, Robert Guerrero, Marcos Maidana all avoided Humberto Soto too.
no one believes he was taking testosterone smoothie i mean besides mvc but him turning down 50/50 vs Floyd kind of suspicious
