How much credit would Mayweather get..

[TheDemolitionDan]

If Mayweather fought Marquez 5 years ago when this fight was supposed to be made I would give Mayweather credit for beating him, if he beat him, but 5 years later now all of a sudden Mayweather wants to fight Marquez. Fuck that.

5 years ago, how has it changed since then? They are in the exact same situation but its 5 years later, which if anything helps Marquez because comparably Mayweather is slower now than he was, and Marquez moving up has in a p4p sense retained most of his speed.

Marquez wanted Mayweather 5 years ago, but of course, Mayweather ducked him. Now, Marquez is 37. He's a lot older. Mayweather is still in his prime. He just picks and chooses.

What are you talking about? 5 years ago Marquez was 2 or 3 divisions below Mayweather and I can't recall anyone ever calling for this one to really be made. In fact the first time I heard the names paired together was when Marquez called out Mayweather after the Diaz fight.

Absolutely NONE. It's a simple case of "cherry picking".

Shame on PBF for not challenging these guys... PWill, Mosley, Cotto, and Margarito.

After the Jose Luis Castillo fight. Marquez said "I want him" talking about Floyd Mayweather "Castillo was robbed and I want to fight him. In my eyes he still hasn't beaten a mexican"

Ok, so I check Box rec right now. I'm sorry it was 6 years ago...HUGE difference. Mayweather fought Castillo at 134. Marquez' next fight was at 132 (not including the Medina fight which at the time was already agreed upon)

Marquez fought at 126 in 2002 when Mayweather fought Castillo, He didn't weigh 132 until August of 2003. At that point they were pretty close in wieght, but at that point Mayweather way more advantages than he does now, he threw more punches, he was overly defensive, he threw combinations, Marquez would have been completely overwhelmed by that version of Mayweather, this version of Mayweather suits Marquez way more than that one did.
