But I agree, I would have loved to have seen this fight years ago. The longer it's delayed, the more it favors Mayweather.

Regardless, when it does happen, it will be the biggest boxing event in a long time.
I agree on the Bradley fight he was jobbed Don King Style. Marquez does have a hell of a chin but thats what Pac was known for, knocking guys with great chins out. Regardless he still has gotta be considered top three pound for pound.

This fight would hearken back to the Sugar Ray vs Duran/Hearns/Hagler days for me, I've been waiting for a fight to truly peak my interest for awhile. Lots of great talent in boxing still but nothing with the excitement of the 80's. We can only hope Arum can make it happen and Mayweather puts on his big boy pants.
