Reminder: Marquez had problems with the speed of DIAZ.

He had problems with his speed for about 4 rounds and then he took over.

and things are faster at 135 than at 144

 

I don't think he had problems with Diaz speed but He did have trouble with Diaz come forward aggressive offense.

 

He had problems with Pac's speed aswell..but seemed to overcome that in both their fights.

 

Reminder: Diaz got KTFO by Marquez.

 

I dont think it was the speed. it was actually the volume and activity level of diaz.
I mean the first round he was forced to throw around 90 punches which i believe was the most he has ever thrown.
And also Diaz's speed is no joke. he might not have KO power but his speed is definately one of the best in the game. Specially when it comes to throwing combinations.

 

Yea maybe but i think it looked that way because Diaz is a volume puncher while JMM is a counter puncher JMM waits for you to leave yourself open and make mistakes before landing.

 

Look I dont think Marquez will beat Mayweather...its just it wont be because of any problems Marquez showed in his fight against Diaz.

Mayweather will just be to skilled and big, aswell as to fast. Its the package not really one particular aspect.

 

I say it was about even with JMM trying to time Diaz and pick spots before throwing, once JMM had Diaz' timing it was all over.
So there's two options, he can swarm FMJr. the way Diaz swarmed him or he can time FMJr. and counter.. but it's JMM, he'll probably do both.

 

I think the aggressive style and high work rate was the bigger problem. Diaz fights coming forward Floyd backs up.

 

Pacquiao is faster than Floyd or Diaz.

I'd say Marquez handles being the slower fighter just fine. I'm not worried about it.
