    Lets not forget if Castillio can arguebly beat Mayweather then why Not Marquez hes a master technician will Floyd have been in against anyone as good technically? Marquez also has shown good power at 135 im not saying he will ko Floyd or even come close to it but he could get Mayweathers respect.I think this is a real 50-50 fight And im a big Floyd fan.

    but i have been VERY wrong on calling fights recently.. :?

    JMM's my favorite active fighter. But I think he's too small to beat Floyd. It's not about ability, he's just not a WW, or even a JWW, for that matter. I do hope he proves me very wrong though.

    It will definitely be Mayweather's most difficult fight. I wont be surprised if JMM wins.

    At the moment im going with JMM UD

    Seems to me that people are calling Marquez an easy fight so they dont have to give Floyd Mayweather any credit if he wins. I think Floyd should be favourite but its by no means a mismatch the way some go on.

    I gotta see the numbers first. If PBF's people want the fight at 147 then this is just one of many Floyd cherrypicking ways. If this fight is 144 or below I deffinitely give FLoyd credit if he wins and wont call this fight a mismatch it could be very competitive. Remember JMM came in pretty heavy in his last fight he can fight at 140-144 soundly hes proven I dont think Floy will take JMM lightly at all.

    This PBF's hardest fight. Who has pbf faced that has the p4p skills of JMM? Marquez on the other hand has faced the p4p 1 twice.

    Hoya says the fight will be at 143. Other sources have it at 144.

    Marquez is awesome, but he's just too small for someone like Mayweather jr.
    Fact is, Mayweather ''knows'' he'll win with ease, which is the no.1 reason he's fighting Marquez.

    I give Marquez much credit for fighting Mayweather, but i really can't see him winning.

    The concensus seems to be that this is a foregone conclusion for PBF,a kind of warm up for a blockbuster ? While i dont think PBF would have taken this fight unless the odds were in his favour,i do think JMM has a great chance at 144 or below.

    I really cant see Marquez winning this fight. Floyd is just too big for Marquez. The thing that will make this fight competitive for Floyd is Marquez's heart. This fight IMO is just for the money. I don't mind seeing Marquez get his highest pay day yet...he deserves it.
