Praise floyd for beating a fighter moving up two weight classes.
Bash canelo for that exact same reason?Wtf is going on here
Floyd got crap for fighting Marquez at that weight when it went down. The thing is, Marquez fought Manny at that weight, looked good and arguably won. He proved he can fight at that weight. When Josesito Lopez proves he can fight at 154, let me know and I'll give him credit for that win.
Everyone is saying Marquez was just too small to fight Floyd, who's only a little bit bigger than Manny anyway, and that Marquez fighting Floyd, the size difference is just too great. It's a great big guy beating a great little guy.
That's all Floyd-Sergio would be if Sergio won. The size difference matters when it's Floyd-JMM, but not when it's Floyd-Sergio.

no he didnt prove he could fight at the weight, he proved he could fight against pac, pacquiao isnt a natural welterweight either. stick marquez in with a guy like collazo at 147 and he wouldnt stand much chance
Your analysis has potholes though, people can grow into weight classes, and acclimate fully over time. JMM's climb to fight Floyd was terribly sudden.
By the time the Pac fight came along JMM probably felt much better at the weight.
He was 2 years older, and had one little short KO fight at 140 against Ramos, otherwise since losing to Floyd he was at 135 still, but he had grown into the weight class????
