Manny has progressed since then. But basically styles make fights. Floyd was able to put the hurt on Marquez cuz Marquez is basically stationary. Manny is not.

Manny couldn't clearly defeat a slow and predictable fighter? That's bad news when he faces someone as sharp as Mayweather, ain't it?

True statement. Marquez was in there but not one of the more better known names at the time.

Sour Grapes. Unlike Marquez Pacquiao has tested the weight already and done well there. Marquez is predictable and telegraphs his punches and he's slow.
Pacquiao is a totally different fighter altogether. He's quick, throws punches from angles that you dont expect and gets outta the way much better than Marquez does.

Is your phone number the same? I'm in the market for a new audio system and I wanna rap with you and get a little advice before I do so.

I believe it was for the second fight...which wasn't Shane's best performance by any means.

Nope.
The steroid issue involved the SECOND fight with DLH.

That gives me an idea Joe. Since Pac is better at selling tickets, he should get a 70-30 split of the ticket sales. And since Mayweather is a bigger PPV draw, he should get a 70-30 split of the PPV sales. Then, we can get our megafight and all be happy. Although when final tallies are totaled, I'd much rather be responsible for the 2M watching at home, rather than the 15K in the seats.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Mayweather fight arena will be filled with an overwhelming number of empty seats.
While the Pacman fight venue will be packed with celebrities, worldwide boxing aficionados, Chicanos and Filipinos...

Okay, may I switch the question? Assuming that Money Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao would fight in Vegas against their own respective opponent at the same night and the same time but different venue, where do you think people will go to watch?

6, Marquez fought in a golden era of featherweights that included he, Pacquaio, Barerra, Morales, and Hamed. He beat Barerra clearly. Most believe he's taken at least one from Pac. Its well documented that Hamed ducked him. His greatness is in that in that era of great featherweight boxing, more than a few people consider him the best of the bunch.
Marquez did fight during the golden era of featherweights; HOWEVER, he wasn't apart of it....... Even though you may not acknowledge it, JMM himself admits that MAB and Erik Morales overshadowed him during that golden Era.......... by the time JMM became relevant; he got a gift draw against Pacquiao and then disappeared into obscurity again, (losing to Chris John along the way), and when he returned; that golden Era was passed.
