Current Mayweather vs prime RJJ at 160???

I understand the poin that you're trying to make its just that your conclusion is wrong. Mayweather at 130, was faster, and let his hands go more. He would likely have stopped Marquez.

 

Agree. I do think Divac is on to something, though. The point to me is that Mayweather vs. Marquez has to be a PfP discussion, just as Mayweather vs. Duran has to be a PfP discussion. You can't analyze those fighters head to head in absolute terms, because the size difference is meaningful.

Again, I do think the ability to fight at a lower or upper range of weight is part of talent, but you have to account for it a little differently. I think you can say Floyd's ability to fight down and come up — just like Pacquaio, ODLH and others — makes him a better overall fighter than someone who can't, like Marquez.

But **head to head**, some fighters are very good at a certain class and simply can't leave that realm. At welterweight, Mayweather vs. Marquez was a physical mismatch that doesn't tell you much about how they'd square off at 130.

Just as Duran would destroy Mayweather at 160 doesn't mean it tells you anything about how that fight would go at 135.

(And I think you could make a case that Mayweather is superior to Marquez even equalizing size, same as you can make the case that Duran is superior to Mayweather equalizing size.)

 

PBF outboxes roy , too smart , too slick . Floyd a g.

 

This would be cruel to watch. Floyd would get ****ing owned, embarrassed, beat up, hurt, mentally broke, and sent crumbling into retirement. Not a fair fight.

 

Roy Jones, no contest................

 

If this was the fight Floyd HAD to take, he would go on vacation to Mars.

 

What the **** is going on today. Busy ass ****ing day at work, then I come home and agree with DIVAC?!? The end is near. :-(

 

Funny you say that because JMM is a small Light Weight. The only reason he won his fight over bigger stronger men at LW, was because of his skills, & when he moved up to Light weight was to chase Pacquiao not because of weight problems like Mayweather's moving up in weight classes....he has been chasing PAC since his featherweight days... those two are the perfect match.

Another funny thing is JMM at 36 was past his best and he still moved up and had 0 advantages, and the only advantage Mayweather wanted to give JMM he paid money not to give it to him... LMAO ***** is *****, no credit EVER..

Perfect analogy with RJJ 160 VS Prime Mayweather 147 and to rate the BS win Mayweather had on JMM is irrelevant it will never mean anything to anyone but his dick riding fans.

 

Damn.... who the F voted for Floyd

 

Initially I was appalled when i spotted this thread. Didn't even bother polling it. But after a wee read through I see that this was a man with a plan, a mission, a journey.
Still stupid though
