Classic thoughts on the JMM-PBF fight...

IMO Floyd would have to be hella rusty and would have had to fallen dramatically from grace for this fight to even be close.

Not saying it wont be competitive though..just reckon Marquez will lose this one quite clear.

 

In addition to that, another reason Marquez can win is because Mayweather, for the first time since he was in junior high, has been out of the ring for more than two years, had an injury recently and he looked like he aged 10 years during that short layoff. Starting to look like his father all of a sudden, and in a bad way.

Marquez isn't exactly young either though. He still looked great against Diaz, but that was a very hard fight and might have taken something out of him.

I'm really looking forward to this fight.

 

I think Floyd will stop Marquez but if anyone's gonna do it it'll be Juan.

he can adjust throughout the fight and win a tight decision in my mind............I really hope so anyway, I'm a massive Marquez fan.

 

Nobody has an easy night with Marquez!!!

Much is being made of the weight but we don't know if it will bother Marquez or not yet...many were saying Pac was too small for DLH and Hatton but he adjusted.

Marquez is as smart and wily a boxer as they come, so I don't want to write him off just yet. Add to that the casual boxing fan probably doesn't know a great deal about Marquez outside of Mexico and this fight offers him his last real chance to hit the big time!!!

How would you guys see this fight going stylistically if the weight wasn't an issue?? Say the Floyd of the Corrales fight Vs the Marquez of Pac2.

Floyd has yet to prove he's particularly great above 135 IMO.

 

Ive learned that no fight between 2 top p4pers is already decided before it even happens, I think this is going to be a competitive fight, FMJ has been off for 2 yrs, JMM is on great form & is DESPERATE for a big p4p win as he feels he was wronged by the judges in both Pac fights, beating Mayweather will all but guarantee a 3rd Pac fight & the right to be called no1 p4p.

I still think its hard to pick against FMJ in basically any fight from 147 downwards, I include Marquez in that, as good as JMM is, Mayweather is technically better, he hits harder, is faster & has a far superior defence & movement... I feel the skills of Mayweather will give him a hard fought pts win but with this layoff, you just never know.

This is a great fight IMO, I for one am really looking forward to it, anyone who isnt can go suck a dick while watching cricket.

:good

 

Mayweather would wipe the floor with him, Marquez would have very very little chance in that one IMO in all seriousness.

:good

 

I don't see Marquez winning, but he poseeses that great attribute that is massive for him, his formidable will to win. When a great fighter posesses this trait in his warrior's soul, who knows what can happen?

It seems logical that a boxer who doesn't give many opportunities for his opponent to counter is bad for Juan Manuel, however things don't always seem to work out the way us Classico's might expect. A lot of the come forward fighters have had Marquez in trouble, expoliting what is not the finest of defences. It is interesting to note though, that because of his very great punching in bunching countering style, he prevails anyway. I put it down more so to that will to win though, personally.

Mayweather can adapt so well though, when he had a stationary target in Gatti, look what he did, rather than play the waiting game it was set up the guy and clinically disect him in sickening fashion. I can see some similar type of approach from him at points throughout thia fight, if Marquez is being witty, which he likely will. I don't see that playing out the same way as it did with Gatti though.

Mayweather to win, multi-dimensional thinking and acting it out does it for him.

What about the lay off though? I know it's not too long, but a lay off it is, it seems crazy to think of a great fighter in our time being affectec by a lay off, but we read about it all the time in the history books, it's a real scenario.

 

JMM is a great fighter but this is a bad match for him. I dont think he has the style nor the size to beat PBF. Floyd on pts.

 

Marquez is just too small. Hes going to have to outwork Floyd, which is possible, but I see Floyd just hanging inside and potshotting Marquez until he hurts him and finishes him.
Shake up in the Mayweather camp could create some problems as well. Looks like Roger will be going to prison for a long time with that he did over the weekend. Will be interesting to see if Floyd puts his father back in his corner.

 

unless the layoff has seriously affected Mayweather's abilitities and speed...the fight should be easy for him....this is one superfight that I have no interest in and no excitement felt from the very first day I heard of the matchup.... it seems that matching name fighters against each other does not always mean they are the most competitive or most exciting bouts to see.. that said...all fights are fought in the ring and I hope this fight while on paper seems a mismatch will prove me wrong and produce a good matchup

 

I feel the same way about not getting excited to see it. That being said, Floyds layoff, if hes only doing this for money and now all the drama surrounding his uncle makes it a little more interesting. Not enough to buy it though.
