Gives me great pleasure to say this** IMO**

I don't get what the issue is with Floyd beating Marquez.. yet Pacquiao beating DLH is okay?

Either way you look at it.. Floyd still has the better resume and at the end of the day is STILL unbeaten, so #1 P4P is the only place you could possibly place him.

That's very much not true and up for debate. A case could be made for either man.

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.

Once Floyd's weight was announced, Marquez immediately turned to his promoters and was like "WTF!?" It may have been in his head a bit but I think it was more of Floyd being much better than he had anticipated. Mayweather has that effect on people.

Mayweather is not number 1 again after beating a great small lightweight at welterweight friend.

You are probably gonna mention how Pacquiao weighed around the 147 mark for his fights with Marquez but the difference was Marquez was fighting at a weight he was comfortable at, where his speed was at his best, where at welterweight his handspeed was clearly diminished.

A win over Pacquiao would give him back his spot as number 1.

I agree with this post completely. I said it from the get go that I thought this was a mismatch. Marquez was a great lightweight but I even think lightweight was higher than his best weight.

If a fight with the P4P #1 guy is possible, then he doesn't lose his spot until he gets beaten. Floyd needs to beat Pac. Beating #2 doesn't make you #1 (Even though he DESTROYED #2).
