I've recently watch Floyd Mayweather trounced great Mexican Juan Manuel Marquez. To tell you frankly I'm impressed with Floyd's performance. He's too quick and fast for Marquez. But that's all about it. What irks me is the resulting lists from some sports writer immediately restoring Mayweather as the no. 1 boxer in the world. What?
There's no way Mayweather could outrank Manny Pacquiao based on his fight. Manny fought bigger guys and beat them convincingly. Floyd was fighting a smaller guy and couldn't even knockout him out. And the very thing that matters here is Floyd Mayweather for all his greatness cheated on the scales. The fight for all I know is at a catch weight of 144 lbs. Juan Manuel a former lightweight, came in at 142 lbs, while Floyd a naturally bigger guy came in at 146 lbs. Four pounds advantage a day before a fight is a very very big advantage. By fight night Floyd refused to be weighted.
Floyd Mayweather, a welterweight had chosen a lightweight for his comeback fight and still dared to cheat on the scales. Now do you consider that a trait of a pound for pound best boxer in the world? A cheater for the no. 1 spot? Tsk, tsk!
