    lots of fighter go into fights with mental baggage, but that why their calls professionals. because despite the bull**** that is swirling around, the show must go on. Thats what make them grate fighters.

    Tyson put on a clinic even after wife embarrassed him on television and accused him of beating her. He still went out and made short work of one of Boxing histories best Lt Heavy weight and former Heavy weight Champion.

    Floyd beat Chico because he was a better fighter.

    Are you serious? Do you really think Corrales, Castillo and HATTON are better than De La Hoya? Ricky Hatton? Even at age 34 Oscar was much more skillful than Hatton. At age 36 he lasted 8 rounds against Pacquiao instead being put to sleep in 4 minutes.

    Oscar De La Hoya is Floyd's best win, if you call that a win. I scored it 115-113 for Oscar, based on aggression. In the absence of effective aggression, I give the round to the ineffective aggressor. Ineffective aggression is better than running away, which is what Floyd did for most of the night.

    That excuse doesnt fly homie...Lets not forget that Douglas lost his mother and he pulled off one of the biggest upset in sports history...PERIOD...so for you to say that Chico had distractions should honestly not be acknowledged because he was the one who chose to go with the fight.

    Chico was facing jail time, Divorce & the stigma of being labled a woman beater..ect (Defo not the same)

    Buster lost his mom, True.. But he used that as motivaion.
    (Similar to what De La Hoya did for the OLY)

    That said, I'm not taking away PBF's win, He beat Chico period.
    Like dude said above, They are pro's.... itiswhatitis.

    It doesn't matter if you rank the Hoya fight above the Hatton fight that's not the topic. I simply stated what I believe his biggest fights and wins against top fighters are. And if any of them match up to Marquez.:think:think

    On paper, Marquez is just as good as any fighter Floyd has faced.

    Not saying Chico would have won, but I'm sure he would have put up a better fight. He was on his way to prison (literally a few days after the fight), and was going through a nasty divorce. Like I said, I don't think he would have won, but he defintely was distracted and could have done better.

    So if Marquez can bring up what he had at 130-135 this will be his toughest fight to date. And with Floyd coming off a two year layoff his skills could have deteriorated or his body could have gotten some much needed rest. This should be interesting on alot of levels. Can Marquez move up effectively and has Floyd lost a step.

    I think only the version of DLH that fought Mayweather ranks up there against JMM.

    I had that a 115-113 fight for Mayweather.

    When this fight was announced i thought it would be a mis match but know i think JMM may beable to pull it off.....or at least make it interesting.....fingers crossed.

    Fights that look good on paper don't always live up to the hype. If Floyd easily outpoints JMM, people will say that other opponents were better than Marquez that Floyd faced. This is a double edged sword.

    If u scored 115-113 for Mayweather in the Dela hoya fight,U are clearly are blind and need some medical attention asap.....Mayweather dominated Oscar!!!,He Outboxed Oscar the whole night,And I believe Floyd defeated him EASILY,I scored the fight 117-111 for Floyd Mayweather

    I can't see a 100% Marquez being easily outpointed. Beaten yes but not outclassed.
    It is for Floyd. Because if Floyd beats Marquez it will be labeled as big man beat little man unless Marquez makes it competitive.

    Skill and experience wise, Marquez and DLH are tied, but as far as finishing strong, and not being afraid to REALLY fight, Juan Manuel is the best all around fighter Floyd has ever gone up against.
