Which of these fights was the greatest performance and better win of these two great fighters? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDLwEyCzIzU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fco0PmJX8bw
It's tough but I gotta go with Marquez, given the way I rate Juan Diaz... he BRINGS it & when he puts it on you, damn does he put it ON you! Great pressure-fighter... Also, Roger had been broken twice before the Chavez fight if what I'm told is true... whereas Diaz WAS definitely the best lightweight by proxy as soon as Marquez dispatched Casamayor, leaving no other challenger for lightweight supremacy EXCEPT The Baby Bull. It's VERY close but I call Marquez over Juan Diaz...! His accuracy in that fight, off the back foot, was a thing to behold! Especially once he got his timing down & from then on begun to take over the fight...
Performance - Mayweather in terms of completeness, Marquez's KO punch was a beautiful 1 though but JMMs defense was pretty poor Better Win - Diaz was more proven but Chavez is underappreciated himself
Yeah both of this were not big punchers but very good pressure fighters the only thing is that Mayweather was in his BEST weight class and Marquez was fighting the bigger man both were very good wins but i will have to go with Marquez vs Diaz. Btw i thought that Chavez brought the best out of Mayweather that night.
Admittedly I haven't seen many Roger Mayweather fights... but I'd tend to agree with that! Great fights, both are classics...!
Roger... and I believe this was at light-welter (with Chavez going up from lightweight.. think he had 1 or 2 smaller fights awhile before this though at 140.. just jumping up to test the waters.. not sure though!)
lmfao... i need to rub my eyes.. i thought i was watching Cesar Chavez - Roger Mayweather... i was thinking Roger looks weird.. and Chavez like a hunchback ****ing Jesus Chavez. hahahahahah (i only watched the first min & was like: ROGER-JCC!.... keep in mind I was barely a child when I first saw that fight! -- as in JCC-Roger....)
In light of this moment of clarity , ..it's NOT close. Great performance by Floyd... but Marquez wins... even IF he got hit a fair few times in his fight vs. Juan Diaz!
