Floyd likes fighting smaller guys with shorter arms because it makes his shoulder roles 10 times more effective.
Marquez to good to get stopped. But he got dominated. I can't see how Pacquiao would have a chance against him
118-109?!? Are you fucking blind? How could anyone give Marquez a single round let alone two.
I was hoping for JMM to pull out an upset but I have to recognize Floyd was brilliant. We have to give him all props; of course he was the bigger guy but he didn’t take out Marquez in early rounds, he just outclassed him.
I don’t see anybody beating him at 147, maybe Paul Williams if he can do the weight …
