    It was obvious that Mosley was well past his prime, floyd still looked as god as ever, if you can't see that then well poor you

    Well we don't know that it's only speculation Marquez had to move up two divisions for the fight and a year before it he was 3 divisions below him

    didn't floyd just come back from retirement and marquez was like number 6 p4p at the time wasn't he? actually i think he was number 4(i think)
    but floyd's prime was at lower weight classes when he had knockout power and he was more of a boxer puncher, when he moved up weight he became more of an outboxer.

    What are you on about Mosley was shot, floyd was still 33 and at the peak of his skills of course he was a bit better at lower weights but still basically the same fighter, his not shot now let alone over 4 years ago

    Several of Floyd's fights are arguable for his "greatest performance." Of course, it sort of helps to know if we are talking about greatest technical boxing, offensive display, best win on paper, defensive display, most impressive, etc. performance. But, pretty much any of his "10 big wins" could be argued for various reasons:

    dominating victory at age 20 over long time super feather champ Genaro

    5 KD's in victory over P4P and boogeyman Corrales

    13 point margin of victory over Marquez in a 12 round fight

    comfortable yet good action victory over Cotto

    fighting an inside battle then figuring out and stopping Hatton

    back to back victories over the Lightweight of the decade Castillo

    all around masterpiece of sorts in victory over Alvarez

    offensive washout victory over Gatti

    Marquez was P4P #2 only behind Pacquiao when Floyd came out of retirement and fought him.

    Castillo fights by far. Floyd was forced to fight to a game plan and not sit and wait against Castillo. Really showed a full range of skills in those fights and Castillo really pushed him throughout.

    without a shadow of a doubt, it's Corrales. that performance was just brilliance from start to finish.

    His adjustment and later domination or Judah, plus ability to maintain composure despite the hiatus in the ring.

    He was a Light weight moving up 2 divisions, he also thought extra weight would help him. Which it did not.
    Anyone with a braincell could not use him being P4P #2 as an example of how it was a good WIN.

    only rabid *****s give credit to Floyd for that garbage victory

    undersized, stylistically challenged, unfit, cheated on the scales Marquez fighting for the first time at ww, great victory, yeah right

    floyd fans should be ashamed of him picking that humongous cherrypick of fight
