Welcome Back Floyd

the real p4p has returned. awesome

MArquez does not belong anywhere north of 135.
Array

But he moved up to eventually fight Tszyu.
To say that Mayweather didn't belong above 135 like Marquez isn't true though. He said after his fight with Ndou that he felt drained which is why he didn't move his feet much and even at 135 he always had a bigger frame then nearly all his opponents and like you well kno Taeth his arm length is well beyond that of a natural lightweight's.

Polar opposites in career points,Marquez just now coming up in Lt weight wars,at what...,35,he will not be afforded the 'counter puncher 'role.Will have to press Allll night.Mayweather has been very well rested,preserved and calculated for this comeback moment.All props to Mayweather and I love Marquez and respect him to death........But I think Floyd might just knock him out!A bridge 2 far at this pint for JMM Imo.But yeah,I hope not

So many subplots here... lets consider a few questions.
1) Were does JMM rank if he somehow beats Floyd?
2) Were does Floyd rank all time if he beats JMM and then Pac, will he shut up all of his naysayers once and for all and solidify his legacy as this generations best fighter.. Better than Jones, Calzaghe, Hopkins, Pac etc. ?
3) Will Hatton Mayweather be any different a second time around if Hatton pulls off a victory of Pac
Array
1) P4P #1 in my opinion. However, it will be open to some debate until he and Pac meet for a P4P showdown.
2) PBF's legacy is already better than Jones, Calzaghe, or Hopkins. It's comprable to Pac's, though I'd give Pac the edge, especially if he beats Hatton.
3) Hatton will be beaten by Mayweather every time they fight until PBF's skills begin to seriously erode.

I disagree, though it is close - like I said, I wouldn't give it to Pac until he beats Hatton. However, considering where Pac started, where he's gone, and who he has beat I think his resume is better. Barrera x2, Marquez x2, Morales x2, and Hatton, should he beat him, are all very impressive victories, equal to or better than any of Mayweather's. I know Mayweather beat Hatton, but depending on how Pac hypothetically beats him I could very well find Pac's victory more impressive than PBF's given where Pac started.
It's a debatable subject though.

Floyd started at low weights and worked his way up to bro... Did it before pac..
No matter what he beat a younger fresher Hatton by Ko, although he didnt KO Delahoya he fought a comfortable 154 version giving up every advantage weight, gloves, ring size etc..

undefeated power punching Philip n'dou
pretty faded Arturo Gatti
Im to tired to look up the rest
Pacs only prime superstar fighter on his resume is Barrera and I give him full credit for the demolishon.. he got beat by a Prime Morales, beat a faded Morales, then a shot Morales.. Drew with JMM and got a gift from God in the 2nd fight with JMM

Good one VanThat's awesome if true what a great fight I really don't think size is going to mean a whole lot in that one but do think Floyd will win but no doubt about it this is going to be one of his toughest fights in his career.
Array
I think Floyds speed and power at 144 will undoubtedly ring JMM's bell, Floyd dosent offer to many counter punching opportunities and even though is the bigger man will let JMM be the agressor potshotting him on the way in and picking off most of what Marquez gives him... I agree JMM's heart, determination and will is something of legend that will test Floyd at a whole other level... I think Floyd will let him tire out, cook him and get him out of there about the same time he got Hatton out of there.
I love both guys as you all know, but my loyalty is with Floyd all the way, but will be torn the whole time![]()
