This is the best tune up fighter available in the world right now....a HoF'er that called him out and he wasted no time in taking up his offer. The thing is, Floyd is so good and multi-talented , that not even a legit top 5 P4P fighter is seen as a real threat. Not even as a tune up fight after a one year layoff, when the opponent came off of one of the best victories in his illustrious career.
Don't get me wrong, Marquez is one of the best of this era, superb boxing ability, huge heart and has a pugilistic PhD but if Floyd is the same Floyd and does what he has done his entire career....this is going to be another "boring" blowout under his belt.
I say we should judge him from this point going forward though. His legacy is now on the line....if you think about it....there really is nowhere for him to hide this time (not that he was really hiding before). There are no more Baldomir title holders, he washed up Zab and ended that rivalry, the $ man that was disrupting the real boxing matches has retired...its all HoF goons in their prime from this point on....Cotto, Shane, Pacman, Margarito().
He has promised to fight everyone that is claiming to be great and he has taken a serious step in that direction with JMM. Im gonna have to take his word for it this time because there are really no other matches to be made.
I just try to keep it funky.
this man calls himself the one of the greatest of all time, with a serious face too
and IMO he would wipe the ring with shane mosley in fact, i wouldnt be surprised if he beat every 147 lber but why do we have to speculate bout it
its all HoF goons in their prime from this point on....Cotto, Shane, Pacman, Margarito().
theres no excuse for him to not fight these dudes but i bet $ he dont fight none of that
I'd love to see Paul Williams vs Mayweather...
Get gully Mayweather DOOOO IT!
