If it was Mosley that fought Marquez, would the fans be praising Mosley...

One thing to consider... Floyd and Mosley are not the same size. Mosley walks to the ring at around 160, while Floyd is usually high 140s or maybe 150.

Doesn't really answer the thread question, but it's a factor that should be considered.

and ignored. They are Welterweights, end of.

Shane would have stopped Marquez but I highly doubt he would EVER want to fight a lightweight who had never even fought at 140. Shane is a fighter, not a cherry picking coward. I would slag him off for fighting Marquez in the first place so no credit from me if he did batter a little bloke.
