What matters is that Mayweather is clearly faster than Marquez and bigger, and that Marquez was able to handle Manny's power, and he was able to hit Pacquiao at will, and nullify Manny's offensive brilliance. Mayweather does all these things, but better than Marquez.
How many times must i say this? Manny is a different animal than he was then. Hes gotten more powerful and skilled. If you want to compare them in the marquez fight go ahead, but like i said Pac man has dominated in much more convincing fashion DLH and Hatton. When pac stops floyd your going to be telling yourselves. Wait..... that cant happen. He couldnt KO marquez, and I i'll again say i told ya so.
I think there's no question he has improved and flourished at this weight, but the fact that he struggled so much with MArquez but not any of his opponents since can't just be attributed to this. A big reason is the fact that he hasn't fought anyone since with a real straight right hand. Marquez has a great one he can counter with, which is going to give Manny huge problems no matter how much he could continue to improve. Thinking about it, the last guy before Marquez he fought that really had a good straight right, was Erik MOrales. Barrera's best punch is the left hook, Oscar and Cotto are almost exclusively left hookers, as far as actually being able to hurt you.. Am I wrong He hasn't been hit with a single good right hand counter since he fought Marquez, you think MAyweather wouldn't land his?
