JMM in most peoples eyes beat Pacquiao twice, so then the real question is what advantage would Manny have over Floyd to make that a significant fight
Was Leonard or Hagler a 4 to 1 favorite over the other... I guess it was an even fight 50-50...

Bwa ha ha ha Manny has the age/youth advantage over PBF...

What tangible advantage JMM has over PBF?? There's none I think...

IF Castillo gave him a hard time, you can be sure Marquez can as well. Also, if I would follow your logic, every fights (or 90%) would be a tune up fight for Floyd. To me, Marquez isn't a Tune up fight at all, Floyd picked him because he's by far the best small guy available and he knows which reproaches are made to him and he wants to try to patch it up with great caliber fighter but at a weight where his risks are smaller. IF JMM is a tune up fight, It's the toughest one you can pick from.
To be fair, Mayweather Sr. was the one that called Marquez a tune-up fight for Lil Floyd Jr.

Marquez is no walk in the part for Mayweather Jr. but the best guy available is and was Shane Mosley! not Marquez.
