Even with 2 layers of clothing, JMM really looks small compared to Floyd...

    Agreed. Fighters like PBF have relied on ring IQ more so than size.

    Similar to DLH who never imposes his size even when he fought smaller opponents.

    I agree with Josh using his head...but not sure about the stamina. He's shown that he's got good stamina. I thought Cotto was more tired than Josh was by round 12. Josh is a notch under a guy like Cotto but has the kind of style that Wink had yet was a bit more active with a little poorer "D".

    I thought Cotto would have trouble with Josh and he did. Stylistically I knew He would be all wrong for Cotto and with the physical advantages Josh held over Miguel I figured he'd pull it out. But like I said.....I was very impressed with Cotto in that fight. Josh is a pretty crafty guy who will use his "head" in the ring to get things to go his way. I did notice that in his fights that you mentioned as well. But you make solid points I just think we are in a slight disagreement with how we look as Josh as a fighter.

    So its not ok for Marquez to be the smaller man against Mayweather, yet its ok for Mayweather to be the smaller man against Williams, where there would be a much more significant size difference in every way? Hmm ok:patsch

    Despite the size difference I still think that Marquez is the stronger fighter. When he threw the rocks the benefit was a stronger core--the core and the hips are your source of power. I believe that Marquez is a 140 fighter going up against a 147 lb fighter.

    It is natural to think that Marquez is a disadvantage because PBF is the best defensive boxer of recent times. However, I would say that Marquez is going to weigh in at 142-3 for the fight. The thing I expect to happen more than anything is that Marquez is going to win 5-6 rounds. PBF may win 6-7 but the fact that he did not shut him out will hurt Floyd.

    A close victory for PBF would be bad for Floyd. Floyd will probably have to take more risks in this fight and if he goofs he will pay dearly. Whereas, what pressure does Marquez have?

    In all expect Chavez Whitaker allover again!

    Giving away a weak part of your body to ur opponent IS STUPID DUMB****! Why the hell would you tell ur opponent where ur injured....WHEN A FIGHTER GETS CUT, USUALLY THE OTHER FIGHTER CONTINUES TO PUNCH TO THAT CUT CUZ ITS A PHYSICAL DISADVANTAGE TO HAVE A CUT NO MATTER HOW U LOOK AT IT..WHY GIVE MARQUEZ THE LUXERY OF KNOWING?? THAT WOULD BE STUPID..NOW IF HE COMES OUT AFTER THE FIGHT AND DOESN'T SAY NE THING THAN WE KNOW HE WAS MAKIN THE **** UP..BUT AFTER THE FIGHT IF HE IS ASKED I DO EXPECT HIM TO SAY WHAT HAPPENED TO HIS RIB..NOT BEFORE THOUGH!:deal:bbb

    Did you ever look at the Countdown video of them standing next to each other in the ring with their shirts off?

    The size difference is small, you are making it out to be like he's Paul Williams size fighting JMM.

    Obsessed simpleton.
