    No way Marquez can beat Pacquiao now. No way. Pacquiao is not going to down in weight and Marquez does not transfer upwards well. As an athlete, his style, it just doesn't work for him the way it does for Pac. He's not explosive and as soon as he loses sharpness that timing he needs is going to be off.

    To be fair he kind of waited until Mosley was getting on towards 40 years old.

    Marquez struggled to beat an over the hill Diaz and also the Chris John loss counts big time against Marquez. If he was to be rated anywhere near Mayweather, he should not be losing fights like that.

    With Marquez he always seems to be in a war and never IMO convincingly beats an opponent and fighters like Mayweather are his worst nightmare.

    to be fair he tried to make a fight with Mosley a few years before.....same with Cotto, De La Hoya, Casamayor. Pacquiao is the only fighter you can say he didn't try and make a fight with.

    He bordeline HAD to fight Shane.

    Floyd was backed into a corner on that one. Shane called him out in the ring whilst he had just beaten someone who was much smaller.

    Amazing skillset but no bollocks. That's Floyd Mayweather all over.

    Thats not Mayweathers problem. If he couldn't make the weight he shouldn't have taken the fight. Being weight drained is not an excuse.

    Maybe he doesn't have Duran sized balls but to say he has none is ****ing stupid. Remind me how many world title fight you have had mate?? now question his guts again??

    Mayweather wanted to fight Mosley a long time ago and Mosley turned it down.

    I don't think his achievements match his level of skill. Beating Pac would sort that out though.

    Night. :good

    The only hope I have is that Mayweather has always talked like a man driven by money first and the best challenge a distant second. Pacquiao is such huge money it will be tempting him. But clearly he's not actually desperate to face Pacquiao as a fighter, whereas you get the impression Pacquiao is not arsed about fighting anyone.

    @ WW, he hasn't showed no balls at all for a challenge, fact.

    **** me, the man is MAD for money yet the biggest money fight on planet earth available for him he doesn't want a part of.

    Fact.

    Floyd Mayweather has beat every fighter he has faced, and when he faces Pacman, he will make him look like a ******.

    Just like he did to JMM.

    Ethier way, critics will never give him credit.
