BoxRec

To sum up

Cruz looked poor in losing to the tall rangy, fast and powerful Lock doubt he'll go very far

Katsidis outworked Escobedo who it was a step to far for to fight the expierenced Katsidis who just outworked him he is just sofit and has good power. I had it 118-110 to Katsidis the judge who had it to Escobedo was a joke!

John was boxing brilliantly the 1st 5 rounds and then his fitness troubled him again Juarez came on strong in the later rounds and troubled him in the last I thought John was going down. I had it 115-113 to John but the rounds John won were clearer than the rounds Juarez won

And Mayweather was amazing he made JMM look ordinary and was just far to fast for him he was absoulote brilliant his indivuadul punches were so fast

Floyd was an ex featherweight champ too.
He has gone up as far as light middle, you can't accuse him of feasting on the little guys, JMM is one of the best guys out there.

I'm just stating facts. It's kind of irrelevant that Floyd once fought at feather. I'm not accusing him of feasting on the little guys, I'm just saying that it doesn't necessarily prove much at this stage. Although I do appreciate that Marquez is a very good boxer. This wasn't Roy Jones fighting Ruiz at heavyweight, it was a an exceptional 125lber fighting the best boxer in the world WELL out of his comfort zone. I give Floyd credit for being the best boxer in the world, but not overly so for winning this fight.

No he wouldn't. Floyd has never fought such a dynamic, explosive fighter like Pacquiao. Floyd is fast, Manny is even faster and packs a bigger punch. His reaction time is superb, as is Floyd's. Intriguing fight that must happen. When Pacquiao once again puts on an exhibition against Cotto, his odds will shorten, so take what you can

Floyd will beat Pacquaio fairly comfortably, Pacman isn't going to be big enough.

I hope not. Don't think the size difference will be that great. He's a little bigger than Marquez and holds the extra weight better. He looked incredible at 140.

Since the second Castillo fight Floyd has fought 11 times and onlytwo of them were worthwhile matchup's (Hatton & DLH). Even then everyone using their head and not their heart predicted Floyd would school Hatton. 2 out of 11 is not p4p material. Hurry up and fight Mosley, Williams or the Pacquiao/Cotto winner tax dodger.

he just cleaned out the guy that gave pac all sorts of problems.

no2 p4p fighter himself.

definitely back to no1.

or at least 2.

for me no1 again.

Hang on a moment though, forgive me if I'm wrong here, but surely the fact he outclassed Marquez, is more of an indication that Marquez doesn't belong at 147, he's only had one fight at at 135 before that for christ's sake.

Exactly. Marquez didn't even look all that good at 135. He struggled for the first three or four rounds against Diaz and only came on strong when Diaz got cut. This fight was two weight divisions above that weight. Mayweather was the much bigger man and p4p rankings mean nothing if the other guy is fighting well above his optimum weight. Marquez has gotten his p4p status because of what he's done at feather and super feather, not bloody welterweight.
