    Not sure if this far-flung matchup was ever discussed, but it seems that JMM has a more refined skill set than Pacquiao but with similar aggressiveness. Since Pac-PBF has been broken down 1000 times, I'm wondering what you all think about a JMM-PBF fight at 140.

    PBF, just too classy for JMM, think it would be a snoozefest though

    I would definately pick Floyd by decision. We have to see how JMM carries the weight. So far so good with Casamayor who is a slick fighter even though he is past his best. If he keeps on impressing then you never know. He has to show great skills against Diaz. Right now though you have to say PBF all day long.

    Nice superfeather/lightweight match up.

    I edge towards Mayweather though on better efence. Would be super tight on the cards though.

    this one goes down to the wire. I'd say Floyd 115-113 in a controversial fight with very little separating the winner and loser of each round. JMM definately has was it takes to win a few rounds off Floyd but at the end i think Floyd's superior handspeed does the trick. However a JMM win would not surprise me at all.

    No way this fight ends in a KO.

    This is exactly the fighter which Mayweather would fight-a guy he knows he would beat and who he is quicker than. He would build it as the greatest challenge on earth, win a decision and then claim he is the greatest fighter since Robinson and that there are no more challenges left to him.

    Floyd wins this one i'm almost certain, he can do every thing that marquez does and most of it he is better at, faster hands, better defence, more power. I think he would stop marquez about 9
