How would Marquez fair agianst Kahn, Bradley, Maidana, Mattyssee, Alexander, and Guerrero. I could see him Owning all except Guerrero.
Stops all but Bradley, and Guerrero. Still beats all by SD. Marquez stops Khan late with a nice accurate combo. Marquez takes some bombs by Maidana but stay on his feet hurts Maidana late and stops him. Would like to see those 2 fights, but all would be great the Guerrero fight would be a chess match and I see Marquez getting the win, but who knows Marquez is getting old, and has been in many wars. So who knows, but if he performs like he did on the Pac fight, I see Marquez giving a war to all those fighters.
He can take them all but doesn't have the time nor is it necessary to prove himself against young guys... he just beat the P4P #1 and supposedly the best fighter in the world...
He'd have more trouble against some than others, but I believe he can beat them all. Khan would be the most difficult, but his flaws are well-known and nothing alien to what Marquez has encountered over the years. OP, I see Marquez owning Guerrero especially hard. Marquez has said he prefers fighting southpaws (he's fought about ten), and the results show. Guerrero's good punching form doesn't usually cover his chin due to his tendency to punch downwards as the taller man, and isn't hard to figure out on an elite level; I suspect Marquez would stop him with hard, creative counters.
Kahn - i reckon juan stops him in rd 10 after some good back and forth action early on. Bradley - hard to say what would happen but marquez outworks him for the m,ost part, ahead on the cards headbutt late on causes fight to go to cards and marquez wins. Maidana - this would be a good 7 round war with marquez landing pinpoint combinations on the slow, crude argentinian stopping him at the end of rd 7. Mattyssee - hmmm this would be a good fight i think, marquez goes in the trenches and wins a UD. Alexander - probably a bit of a pedestrian paced fight, wide but unspectacular UD for juan. Guerrero - tough, tough fight for dinamita. could go either way in a ranged chess match. SD for the winner i reckon.
Khan's the toughest match-up for him, but I think Bradley's the most interesting from a tactical perspective.
He whoops them all IMO. Time will tell if Marquez stays at welter or moves down to 140 to continue his championship legacy there.
Yes Guerrero is good and I expect his style to improve with time but as of right now he is not elite in the style he uses and shows many holes in his game which even Katsidis was able to get in at times...I think JMM at this point would get better of Guerrero. I would be more hesitant with maybe Khan as I see his stamina/speed/running/ and outside game might prove a little difficult for JMM IMO but would still get the better of Khan... everyone else would get owned hard.. IMO he should Move to 140 because if he is able to beat 2 young guys and get a belt his Legacy will be cemented as one of the best of this Era without doubt although currently JMM has a great Legacy.
Much lesser fighters would trouble him because of the size advantage. He has nothing to prove so I wish people would stop all these 140 match ups. Morales then the sunset and thanks for the wonderful memories.You're finally getting the credit you deserve.

Marquez by KO in the first...He's replacing Morales soon as the God of Boxing. This content is protected
Just like Pacman before him and Floyd Marquez has the skills to overcome size advantages. Even Uncle Roger knows this skills win fights. I think the one fighter many are overlooking and has what it takes to beat anyone up to 147 is Bradley. 2012 America will have a new superstar. Regarding Jmm hes not a normal fighter as neither is Pacquiao. To them a bigger fighter is just a bigger target that's all.
