    Yeah I'm with you, he beat a lightweight as a Welterweight woohoo, I fell asleep so missed the fight but I'm surprised as hell he could not stop him.
    If you look at the styles. Marquez only landed about 75 punches the fight maybe more. And that had nothing to do with Mayweathers weight. At a lesser weight Floyd would be quicker and faster. Fact is he outquicked and outboxed Marquez. Marquez couldn't find him anywhere in the ring and if you think that it had anything to do with Mayweathers weight it would be delusional.

    You have a point, but Marquez was that small he really couldn't get close never mind get inside atall. It kinda reminded me of Darchinyan vs Burgos. Burgos being a good fighter, but just couldn't get anywhere near Vic due the the reach and size advantage..... I still say floyd should have put the lights out.

    He was too small and too weak to make an impact in the fight, sounds like Floyd played it safe if he just kept him at range I'll have to download this farce later on.

    No he didn't. He showed Marquez something Marquez wasn't expecting. A jab. He jabbed Marquez all night and Marquez just couldn't avoid the leaping left hook, Floyd showed great timing and defense and presented Marquez with a style he just couldn't figure out. Marquez couldn't land anything and when he went back in the corner he would put his hands on his lips like "Alright how the heck do I beat this guy" It is the first time I've seen Marquez this befuddled and confused with another fighter. Mayweathers speed was a great factor, but unlike Pacquiao Mayweather was the one timing Marquez when people thought it could be the other way around if Marquez had a chance. It was a brilliant performance. Floyd landed nearly 60 percent of his punches and Marquez landed maybe 12 percent of his. That had nothing to do with the weight. Even if they were the same weight class Marquez landed nothing that would have ever hurt Mayweather, he barely landed anything at all and he was trying but even with his combinations Floyd wasn't getting hit. He was just too skillful for Marquez and that would have been the case at any weight

    I'm not saying weight was the only factor, but it definitely was A factor. Sure, Floyd outboxed him, but when was the last time we have seen Marquez so cautious and gun shy? He was clearly hesitant to let his hands go because he was wary of the bigger man's power. He looked completely intimidated by Floyd's size advantage if you ask me.

    When was the last time Marquez fought someone that was not only faster then him but could outtime him. He fought faster guys like Pacquiao but he never fought another boxer that could outtime him as quick as Mayweather did that he couldnt hit. His gunshy had nothing to do with Mayweathers weight, he was trying to find a way to attack without getting countered, and he couldn't, he wanted to find a way to time Mayweather and he couldn't. His boxing and his timing are what make him Marquez. Mayweather took both away.

    That's not the point. Pac-man hit him plenty but he wasn't afraid of getting hit by him. Unless you're pyschic, i don't see how you can say how him being gunshy had nothing to do with the weight....maybe we should ask him......

    Marquez has already stated that he thought the weight was a difference. That and the speed. Marquez also said that if he had time to attune to the weight he would have done better.

    Mayweather dwarfed Marquez out there and probably hurt Marquez a lot more than Marquez could have hurt Mayweather. In that sense the weight which relates to size and power would clearly play into the hands of Mayweather.

    I don't see the point in defending Mayweathers win with all the variables stacked in his favour and him not weighing in correctly and then not even decaring what he weighed come fight night. They are shady antics that should not be tolerated again. It makes a mockery of boxing which gets a hard enough time as it is.

    I agree after seeing this fight, people are delusional if they think Pac can beat Floyd. NO WAY. It will be another shut out. In fact, it is so predictable, the only reason to do the fight is because it is a mega event and all mega events in general are probably good for boxing as a sport.

    I agree it had nothing to do with Mayweather's weight, but it had all to do with Marquez's weight (or size to be more accurate). Floyd could have weighed any weight in the welterweight range and he would have beat Marquez, but Marquez shouldn't be fighting above 135 (maybe 140). What this fight proved was that Marquez has no chance against any elite welterweight. Marquez wouldn't last 7 rounds with Shane, Clottey, Berto, or Cotto.

    Money will play the same trick with Pac though! Dictate the weight to his own favour so he has the advantage months before they even step into the ring!

    Replace the word Marquez for Pac in the quote above and I can see it will be what we are saying post PBFvPac...

    PBF has form for engineering fights to suit him! He is a fantastic specimen of a boxer, but he shouldn't be allowed to ride rough-shod over the weight limits as he has done previously!
