Coming back from a 21-month layoff, multi-division world champion Floyd “Money” Mayweather (40-0, 25 KOs) took a one-sided twelve round unanimous decision over Juan Manuel Marquez (50-5-1, 37 KOs) in a welterweight clash on Saturday night at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. The bigger, quicker Mayweather dropped Marquez in round two with a left hook and pretty much had his way the entire twelve rounds. Scores were 118-109, 120-107, 119-108.

I really feel for Marquez, he's such a great fighter but he never had a chance. The size discrepancy in the fight was just huge. Still he made around 3,2million so he'll be allright.

 

As much as I feel sorry for Mayweather's insecurity, he looked great. He looked so dominant.

Too bad he doesn't want to fight Cotto and Mosley, two guys he has to fight if he want's to be an all time great IMO.

mayweather brung his A game last night, every single round he made marquez look a average fighter. mayweather was just too big for marquez and you could see that with mayweathers punches when they landed. i hope the next fight we see is mayweather v pacman or cotto, a match against mosley would be too easy for mayweather.

floyd didn't miss a beat after layoff but jmm obviously physically overmatched. jmm never gave up tho. kept coming and taking everything dished. floyd wanted ko bad but couldn't get it.

 

so pacman supposed to be the next mega fight? he's even smaller than jmm. floyd's domination takes the intrigue off a match with manny for me. same thing would happen. maybe even manny ko'd. but the promoters and networks will be able to sell it to enough people.

 

floyd belongs at welter fighting for mosley's world title.
