Floyd's dispatching of Marquez continues to get better and better as years go by

Old for a boxer, better?

Yeah and he lost to Bradley. FACT.

And he was also made to go up in weight and fight a bigger guy.

True but that win by Floyd still wasn't particularly impressive.

 

Pacquiao, Mike Alvarado, even Bradley are still struggling with Marquez yet they claimed he is softened up?

 

Floyd fights bigger opponents all the time, I dont ever see you make excuses for Floyd being outweighed?

 

I give everyone credit for being at a weight disadvantage but I'm not going to give an elite fighter that much credit for beating someone who they have a significant size advantage over because their opponent has gone up gone up two divisions and has never fought in that division before.

 

Mayweather the night of his fights are 147-150

His opponents come in @ 165 routinely so these fools talking about size fail to recognize he didn't beat Marquez with size.....he boxed one of the best boxer in this eras ears off


Its a good win...not his best but a good win. Mayweather is in his 4 n 5 weight class and nobody making excuses for him. Those 2 pounds didn't make a difference jmm was getting schooled either way

 

Point is JMM was still fighting at a higher weight than he ever had before against a bigger opponent than he ever had before. He was at a disadvantage, that makes a difference.

Not sure what you're trying to prove here. He beat one guy who he matches up well stylistically with and lost to a different guy who he doesn't match up well with stylistically.

It doesn't matter to me. If you are P4P #1 I'm not going to be impressed by you beating someone who struggles with your style and who you have a significant size advantage over because your opponent has gone up gone up two divisions and has never fought in that division before. Not one of his more impressive wins imo.

 

Size and weight still makes a difference, that's why you don't see Floyd fighting GGG or GGG fighting Ward or Ward fighting Kovalev etc.

 

I'm not crying about it, I'm just saying it's the reason why that win is less impressive than many of his other wins. It's the same for all fighters I wouldn't be very impressed by anyone beating a fighter who is two divisions below them.

 

Weight always plays a part. There are weight divisions for a reason.

 

Jmm was essentially a 135 fighter moving up 2 divisions to fight at WW Floyd who has fought at 154 before.

It was supposed to be at catchweight of 144 and Floyd didn't even make the weight and cheated jmm off the scales.

JMM's idea of making weight is lifting rocks and drinking his own urine FFS. atsch

Bradley beat a way better version (possibly roided to the gills).
