That is impressive but what about Roy Jones starting at Junior Middleweight and winning a Heavyweight title belt?
Anyway I agree 100% with the threadstarter, this is exactly what I thought. It was a great fight, both Marquez and Pac showed tons of heart and courage, and Pac showed that he is such a dynamic offensive force that it's incredibly hard not to get sucked into his game.
But whenever you see other top 10 P4P guys, they always show flaws. They look human. Floyd has no huge gaps or flaws in his game, and if an opponent finds an oppertunity Floyd makes adjustments faster than any other fighter in the game. As much as the haters want to discredit him (at the cost of their own credibility) FLoyd is in another universe. There is NO ONE that even comes close to matching up to his p4p status.
Yeah Marquez was an incredible fighter and Manny got the win over him, but what about Floyd? Manny is a nice humble guy who puts on exciting fights, so you all give him the benefit of the doubt and hype him up whenever possible. Floyd is a cocky trash talker who sometimes puts on stinkfests, so everyone will go to any lenght to discredit his wins.
You wanna talk about Marquez being a stylistic nightmare for Pac? Thats true, but thats the same thing yall said about Hatton when talking about a potential Floyd/Hatton fight. "Castillo beat Floyd in the first fight with that style, and Hatton is even better than Castillo at that style, so he's a nightmare for Floyd". Floyd kicked his ass and now its "ohhhh well Ricky's not good at 147".
Floyd fought Oscar, a great fighter who had an insane weight advantage on him, and put on a clinic. And you all say "Ohhhh Oscar's old and over the hill". Really? Well Marquez is the same age as De La Hoya, but I haven't heard anyone bash Manny for fighting an "old" fighter in JMM.
