Can anyone honestly say Floyd is now the top P4P after beating Marquez? Did Floyd achieve something worthy enough to place him at the top of the rankings just because he had all the advantages to beat JMM plus the fact he cheated even before the fight took place? PBF is clearly one of the most talented and skilled fighters at present if not clearly the most talented and skilled fighter. But, was he able to demonstrate to us how great a fighter he truly is in his last fight? Yes, JMM is also very skilled and talented but it only shows if the weight limit is at 135 and below. Even at 135, it already showed in the Diaz fight that he's already having problems with higher weights and then he jumps two more weight classes. Actually, the way I see it, in his last fight, JMM appears to be the greater fighter. Inspite of all the obvious disadvantages he had (as in every single department), he was still the more aggressive fighter who didn't give up hope from start to finish to win a battle he has absolutely 0 chance of winning. I think that's the very definition of a fighter. I just don't think Floyd did something so special when he beat Marquez because there was no reason why he can't beat him.
JMM gets more credit from the fight than PBF which was knew beforehand and now after. This was a past prime, older, slower JMM figthing at a weight he shouldnt be fighting at lets not forget.
Even if Floyd beat Pac i'd still prefer Pac as a fighter. Pac is both exciting and entertaining and Floyd whilst very skillful doesn't usually make a fight particularly exciting. If you can make a fight entertaining and also win you're always going to be a more popular fighter than the guy who takes no risks.
