    Yes Floyd is a lot bigger than Marquez. The whole Marquez vs Floyd matchup is hypothetical because Floyd's victory over Marquez is so tainted.

    I don't see how that matchup could ever have been made under fair circumstances. Marquez was 30 and still fighting at FW. Mayweather never fought at FW and was already a natural JWW at 30 years old.

    He's just too big of a fighter to give Marquez a fair fight.

    You don't think the fight should have ever been made?

    Not really. Marquez in attempt to compensate for lack of size bloated himself in weight. And Floyd then compounded it by missing weight.

    Marquez-Floyd would never be fair because of the size difference IMO.

    I was impressed by Floyd's performance against Marquez, but I wasn't surprised. A good big man beats a good little man. Floyd took care of business exactly like he should have. Just another day in the office against a smaller man.

    To my eyes, Golovkin is glaringly open to a number of shots and his defence seems porous.

    I worry that at 33/34 this is deeply embedded and has been masked by some overmatched opponents.

    I guess the Lemiuex fight will answer a lot of questions.

    Floyd Mayweather Jr is an excellent boxer but has a massive issue- a big winky that swings from the center of his forehead.

    This is probably not a matter of in-flight adjustment; rather the single glaring flaw of the great fighter, who is Marquez... ...he just cannot help but eat the left from southpaws and righties alike.

    Ndamn. His right hand is always away from his chin. Good boxer over all, but this flaw is soooo expensive. Big big big flaw that he payed really expensive in his last fight, for instance. Was I his trainer, I would literally glue his right hand to his chin for a couple of weeks at least.

    A-mere-con. His right leg position screws all his power. He can hit hard, as we saw vs maidana when he is absolutely movement-less, but as soon as he moves a single step the party begins and his right leg begins to fly all over the ring. I'd swear hunter is trying to correct this because lately I dont see him messing everything up 24x7. Now he messes everything up 23x7, not bad, it's an improvement.

    Bradley, theres something really wrong with this guy. It has been talked a lot in this forum. But something is really really wrong when you lack of power in such way.

    Ward - Never comes close to losing so his fights are "boring"
