    Indeed.He'll get some as all winning boxers do,but JMM is a 36 year old SF.

    You gotta give Mayweather credit. alomst off 19 months and beat the 2nd best boxer in the world!! Look Mayweather could have easily fought a way eaiser fight like Quintana or Collazo, but why do that? He only fights the best and thats what hes doing.

    it's not the toughest fight Floyd could make based on the size difference
    Even Floyd acknowledged this..... something to the effect of 'no little man will retire me' in reference to JMM/Pac....

    But Looking at the big boxing picture where Kessler is MIA.....
    Pavlik and Abraham somehow are not mixing it up...

    And no one seems too anxious to fight Paul Williams or Dawson

    That being said Money/JMM is one of the better fights being made right now behind the Haye and Wlad fight. I'd like to see Paul Williams fight Pavlik or Abraham as well....It's discouraging these fights are not being made.

    I'd rather see either of those fights to be honest. At least they're closer to Floyd's weight.

    i think he will get a lot of credit by the general public. less by boxing fans

    pbf's fighting one of the best here but not in his size/weight range. he'll get some credit but that will be offset by the fact that he beat a naturally smaller man. not exactly the definition of p4p.

    I hope some of the Marquez nuthuggers don't change their tune if Floyd fights Pac. But no right, Pac fits welter perfectly so Floyd would get full credit there right?

    Marquez, such a warrior, always has it harder than Pac :roll:, :|.

    Exactly. Makes it so I can't vote, despite having an opinion on the matter. Or, vote for something I don't quite agree with but "best represents my position". Bleh.

    he should get credit but won't. no matter what anyone says Floyd has balls for fighting the #2 p4p guy after that inactivity. not only that but Floyd's a natural lightweight so him and Marquez are basically the same size anyways and people are forgetting floyd's best days were at 130 which is what people are saying is the natural weight of Marquez and also people are forgetting that Marquez just KO'd 2 top dogs at lightweight making him officallly a natural lightweight in my eyes so basically they're the same size and Floyd is fighting the best boxer in the world besides himself and pac.
