yes. Hell I'd go one further and say he's quite possibly the most intelligent fighter in boxing today (B-Hop & Floyd rounding out the 3). & Mr Blobby- boy does that take me back!!
Im actually looking forward to this fight. Yes, its not great that its at welterweight but i don't believe size will be as big as a factor as some people are suggesting.
You mean, weight...! People are really bitching about weight... what they should be debating is less about weight & more about reach (when it comes to the tale of the tape, that is!). A great tactical fight awaits us. http://www.eastsideboxing.com/forum/showthread.php?t=142409 6-inch reach advantage will prove critical in a fight where technically there's not much to separate between them (except ofcourse Floyd's defence, which is up there with the best defenses of all-time!)
Marquez has very decent speed but it is his blend of great punching technique and form with great timing and a uncanny ability to adapt and predict his opponent that makes him such a accurate and effective puncher. The odds are firmly against him .... and Floyd is a great technician himself with a masterful defense.... I really hope Marquez pulls this off but my brain says Floyd will win, one thing i do know though is that Marquez WILL hit Floyd and he will hit him quite often. As been stated by many on this board..... Marquez is nobody's ****ing tuneup.
