    My mistake, I thought you would be able to grasp what I was trying to say. I'll go into more detail. As of now I would rank Marquez higher at 122 than I would Hatton at 147. However, that's mostly due to how they performed those weight classes. Marquez gave Vasquez 3 really good fights. Hatton was dominated and knocked out by Mayweather. However, before the first Vazquez fight, I didn't rank Marquez at 122. He had never fought there so I had no Idea how well he would be able to handle the change in weight class.

    Mayweather lacks the fire and heart, he just wants the money.

    Well, if there is a fourth fight, I hope it comes down the road and not in their next match. I am all for a fourth fight. Their fights have left them almost 50/50 at this point. They have a lot of pride and seem to want it themselves. Fighting each other also gives them what is probably their best paychecks. A fourth fight would probably be the biggest payday either could make. Not too mention, fans love this series. So if they want to do it, I'd personally love it.

    Thanks for the explanation Reg. :good

    It just goes to show how moving up is different for people, and a few pounds can mean the world.

    How can anyone beat Vazquez vs. Marquez. Hard to beat.

    Barrera/McKinny fight was as good, if not better, but can't fight that kind of fight very often!

    Are you serious?

    Did you see how many times each of them got hit??? Im willing to bet it would take 4 Floyd fights to match one of theirs....

    Why is so hard for you to understand that MANY people enjoy defensive fighters...enjoy great boxing...not just fighting?

    Elitist attitudes make me sick...

    I want him to go to England and fight Hatton without his referee, judges.
