    Its 2007 all over Again. Manny Pac being Criminally underrated.

    Something about Mannys style makes people think he loses in most H2H matchups.

    Marquez's unique style of counterpunching is just that. Unique. Floyd is a better one punch counter puncher, but I've never seen a better counter punch combination puncher in marquez. Manny is the only pressure fighter to have any success with him. All others have been completely destroyed.

    To answer the question, no boxer can emultae Marquez style.
    The closest is floyd, There are other good counter/combination punches, but they haven't got the toughness required

    this is getting ******ed.

    No chance Alexander beats Pac. Absolutely no chance. He's not mentally tough enough. Once he eats a few hard lefts he'll be in panic mode retreating.

    Who can follow Marquez's gameplan?

    Marquez, and Marquez alone. No one in and around WW has the combination of intelligence, judge of distance, accuracy, combination punching, ability to feint and draw Pacquiao in, ability to counter punch, ability to trade when necessary, patience and lateral movement to pull that gameplan off. Only Marquez.

    Not even Mayweather would use this gameplan.

    Marquez is the only one who can do Marquez to that level.

    Floyd would probably win, but he would use his own style to do so.
