How did Floyd Mayweather Jr. beat Juan Manuel Marquez?

:deal No this. Good post

 

He was the more talented guy, simple.

Since size is the supposedly the culprit here, I deeply doubt the result would have been any better for Marquez at 130. It would have been much more of a schooling and would perhaps end with Marquez on his back.

 

I think that some people forgot just how talented PBF is

 

MArquez looked just as fast against Floyd as he did against Diaz. Name one fighter that was able to land the number of flush shots that Marquez did on Floyd?

 

If he is that talented why fight a lightweight?

 

A lightweight who blows up to WW on fight night. A weight cutter. 1st time in PBF's career he fights a "smaller" opponent and people start whining.

 

Exactly... I cant wait to come back on here after Mayweather beats the **** out of Pacquiao.... this madness must be brought to a halt.

 

Exactly, he will be missed when he calls it quits for good.

 

No he doesnt JMM ring weight for Diaz was 138, and thas was because he isnt even a natural lightweight.

Floyds last fight before this was also a smaller fighter Ricky Hatton, who had to gain 7lbs.

 

Floyd would have won that fight at any weight

 

Marquez is a range fighter. He works best behind his jab, where he can control distance and use his excellent timing to catch guys on the way in, or get off first with short bursts of punches.

Against Floyd he fought a bigger, faster, stronger man, with advantages in age, reach and size, so he had to fight in a style that was impossible for him to utilise effectively.

It was a mismatch from the minute it was announced and Floyd deserves no credit for it whatsoever.

 

50% skill 25% size 25% styles. size and styles had a lot to do with it.

 

5lbs difference and a 30 lbs diff are two different things idiot...

 

Hatton didnt gain any weight for Floyd...he just didnt dehydrate himself as much before the fight. Hatton to lose less weight to fight Floyd than he typically does...

 

Both skill and size played a part in it.

This fight would have been better had it taken place at 135 but i still think PBF would have won.
