    Well let's see, somehow at the age of 40 years old he goes from tiny Featherweight to a guy who looks like the hulk and not only maintains punching power up in weight class, but increases it exponentially. And then his body is covered in pimples like he's going through puberty. It doesn't add up. It's the same reason why Barry Bonds isn't in the HOF despite the fact that he's never failed a test. Nobody is buying any of the bull**** either athlete is selling. You can set up shop wherever you like, but if people won't buy it, then they won't buy it.

    It was. Sick of fans glorifying glass-jawed freaks and members of our species who contaminate the gene pool with their below average punch resistance inferior genetics

    Your first sentence sounds like a description of Pac to me. Marquez agreed to take every test that Pac took so I assume he was as “clean” as Pac.

    Alot like Floyd as he got older his Feet started gaining more speed while getting faster & his Stamina increased vastly in comparison wouldn't you say?,

    Even in his fight with Pacquiao where he got caught trying to flush down his PED's with the IV (And that was just the one they caught), though his punch selection wasn't all that impressive that night, what did stand out was how he moved so catlike in that ring that night running circles while giving the illusion to the judges that he was actually putting in damage.

    Nah. Once his confidence was taken away (No illegal wraps) he was done for. Mosley absolutely oblitirated him.

    Actually, Marquez refused VADA testing as did your boy Floyd. Pac's been tested by VADA in multiple fights. Don't ignore facts now.

    And Marquez was old, showed up to the Floyd fight chubby, and then put on dense muscle and blew up in size AFTER he hired a doping expert. Dude had an 8 pack bursting through his stomach without even flexing and his traps were engorged.

    Your Pac hate clouds your brain.

    Marquez passed the same tests that Pac took for the fourth fight.

    Smiling does not mean he wasn't hurt at all. Countless fighters will attempt to mask physical discomfort/pain by "smiling" or shaking their head after being Hurt. It happens ALL the time and has been since the dawn of the sport.

    Yes I know this and I never said he wasn't hurt. Of course he was hurt but he shouldn't have even been conscious after after eating that many flush bombs and the fact he was smiling was his last act of defiance

    Off the Top of my head ...De la Hoya
    Margarito did have a very good chin, but whether it was 3 punches or 20 punches, Mosley showed that he didn't have a Tua, Oliver McCall or Jake Lamotta level chin

    Nah. The division is one of the deepest in boxing.
    Having said that he certainly could take heavy fire and still move forward. I enjoyed his fights even in losing efforts and yes the cheating leaves a bitter aftertaste but none of us will ever know the truth. He was a tough dude regardless.

    Like I said he was a tough dude with a great work rate. He wasn't the most skilled but like Pavlik I enjoyed the fights even in losing efforts they were always game and I like that attribute.
