    I voted `possible` because almost anything is possible but Id bet the house on Mayweather.

    I would pick Mayweather to win but Floyd would have to work for that win.

    JMM would need to use a similar strategy to the Barrera fight. Press the fight, take it to Mayweather, outwork him and land the last punch in every exchange.

    But Floyd would enjoy the speed and size advantage. JMM would not be able to hurt him with any single punch unless Floyd didn't see a perfect punch coming but thats way too rare. And good damage through accumulation may not be enough to slow down Floyd as he will be very evasive, specially if he feels danger. Floyd could very well end it with a single good counter of his own.

    If Juan Manuel Marquez showed signs of stamina problems in the later rounds then I would say he has no chance in hell. But the guy is not, he was matching Juan Diaz almost punch by punch becoming a volume puncher himself. Its slim but JMM has a chance for the upset and has the skills to compete.

    One fight I would have liked to see was JMM vs Joan Guzman back at 130lbs, to see how well Marquez could handle the Mayweather style.

    @ 140 jmm wins, because pbf will be dead at that weight

    @147 pbf wins every round then ends it by KO

    as great as both fighters are and having different styles, they are both counter punchers. floyd's defense was among the best in the world and that alone to give any fighter problems, but if jmm would get frustrated, he's start landing punches in bunches and eventually especially with his precision some would get in there. floyd would have to be at the top of his game, but i think he would win this one in a close, very boring fight with even dropping jmm at least once in the fight, but it would be similiar to Roy Jones Jr. vs. Bernard Hopkins. 2 finely tuned fighting machines, but their styles would probably get acouple of boos from the people. imo

    Yes . . . possible (at 140).

    JMM has the style to disect PBF. If PBF plays his pot and shot style . . . it would benefit JMM even more. :deal

    At 140 I don't think so, Mayweather has very good power and speed at 140.

    No I dont think he can, both counter punch and floyd is better at it and faster, I see PBF winning over 12 rounds.

    This is not brainer, Floyd will enjoy the advantage power and speed if baby bull was able to rock Marquez the first few rounds Mayweather would beat him .

    Marquez cannot beat Floyd. That is why Floyd will fight him.
