    Also, can we remember that Floyd didn't make weight?

    Yeah that was a "CW" fight, further proving Just how small Marquez really was... JMM was no Mosley! Only a few fighters were able to make the jump from 135 to 147 and be successful and JMM wasn't one of them.

    First off, let's not make this about Floyd vs GGG.

    Secondly, NO. Lemieux was at least a legit title holder with explosive KO power, we've already established that Manfredy was no more than a contender.

    So any time two fighters meet you instantly discredit the taller longer guys victory? Two top fighters met, one took the other to school.

    I'll ask again, would this be your narrative if Floyd beat a prime PAC?

    Marquez is always game but are you referring to Marquez/Pac or
    JMM/FLoyd?

    Floyd's only 1 inch taller than jmm. He was able to make the jump up in weight because he's a great fighter

    Depends on much size difference there is. Marquez isn't just a little smaller than Mayweather though. He's just flat out too little for Mayweather.

    It would be like Mayweather fighting Mike McCallum. He'd be too little for him.

    Hamed was lower in the pfp rankings because he had been fighting average opposition like twice per year and looking average. He looked ****py against Augie Sanchez. Hamed's last hurrah was the Bungu fight and he'd been having some sloppy nights before that.

    This is way over the top. Floyd is 3 centimeters taller than jmm and fought at 140 and under until he was 28

    If his first fight at ww was against Floyd and he took a beating you'd be saying it wasn't fair

    Marquez fought at 126 in his 30s. He's much smaller. And Mayweather's reach is massive. Marquez can't beat a fighter with that much skill when he has that type of reach.

    Especially when Floyd cheats.

    Man, the smaller fighter always gets more credit than the bigger fighter if they win the fight.

    It's always been that way. More points are given to the guy going up in weight if he wins.
