As far as the actual fight I don't see how anyone couldn't say Floyd looked great, it's not as if Marquez just forgot how to box on that night, nobody has ever handled him like that. Then again nobody ever brought him up 2 weight classes at 35 and didn't even make the weight themselves, it was a pretty bitch move.

I think if anything it's made less a deal of because Floyd came up from the lighter weights himself, isn't a puncher, and nobody really believes the weight would have changed the outcome at all. If the exact same thing happened in another fight though, where a natural welter dragged a guy up, missed weight then went on to win by KO, he'd be seen as a Margarito type guy for a while. Marquez took the fight for the payday, couldn't have been that confident he'd carry the weight himself and obviously didn't have many options when Floyd didn't bother to make it. He was so outgunned to begin with, that kind of sours the fight imo.
