I don't know that his early defeats would have ever mattered, he doesn't market himself in a way that it would eanyways. If their had been a 3 knockdown rule in the first JMM fight though, it would be very interesting to see how things would have played out. If it weren't for Marquez, Floyd would have either had to chase the fight or accept being viewed as the #2 guy for the last fiveish years.
