    How about Manny, Sergio, Golovkin, Margarito calling Floyd out? can it only go one way - Floyd will only take on smaller and slower fighters who call him out?

    Idiot.

    Does it matter who called who out? The facts remain thus: Marquez was 2 weights above his - at the time - ideal weight class. Mayweather won convincingly.

    Would we consider Klitsckho comfortably beating Adonis Stevenson over 12 rounds a great win for him? We would not.

    It doesn't matter how many faces pointing at pieces of paper you put next to it; it wasn't a 'great' win

    When you talk Wlad and his division, you're talking about real men. 175 v 240 lb Wlad? That's a huge mismatch.

    Was more making the point that a fighter moving up two weight classes is not the same fighter as at their preferred class

    Some slick boxing from Floyd but not a memorable win whatsoever, size difference was ridiculous.

    NOBODY is my point :huh:huh:huh Wlad don't fight midgets.

    Someone tried to compare Floyd v JMM as a LHW fighting SHW Wlad.

    At first glance it looks like a great win. But look more closely and it is clear Mayweather stacked everything in his favour. That seriously devalues the win.

    Marquez himself has said many times he dont count that fight as a fight. Its was a showfight had nothing to do with competitive boxing

    I don't think so. This was a bloated Marquez who was supposed to fight a 144 Floyd, instead Floyd dishonored his end of the deal and came at 146. There's a reason why he prefered to pay $200,000 instead of shedding 2LBS!

    No one will look at this as a good win due to Mayweather completely ignoring the weight. Forcing someone to move up two weights for his first fight at the weight as well too.

    Marquez is probably the coward's worst cherrypick of all

    yeah, lets face a guy from two divisions below with no tune up who is at huge size and stylistic disadvantage

    great victory only for ***** nuthuggers
