Look, many times hypotheticals just won’t work and this is one of them. Marquez would have had a better chance against Floyd at 130/135 then any time that followed. Floyd took more chances back then but they could have never met at that weight.

It’s still a boring fight with Marquez getting nickel and dimed to death. Floyd is simply better at all of the things that make Marquez a great fighter and he's bigger and faster at any weight.

Marquez was/is a completely different fighter since the Manny obsession. He fights more like Lamotta. The entire gains in weight were in prep for one man and landing that one punch. Imo he actually became a little one dimensional. I think Floyd would have an easier time with the welter version of Marquez then he did against the flabby one.
