    **Let me start but saying that I obviously recognize that Mayweather would be a huge favorite in that fight and would pretty much be considered a sure thing to win but hey its boxing, stranger things have happened**

    If Manny somehow beat Mayweather in 2013, how would that win compare to Alis over Foreman? Greater, about the same, or less?

    If he got caught by a straight right by JMM I could only imagine what Mayweather would land on him.

    It would be incredible if it was a KO or TKO victory. I personally would rank it alongside an Ali-Foreman type victory and as time progresses, its status will be enhanced. I would love to see mayweather stans go ape**** like Karcenogen and these other ****ers. Doubt it will happen though. Guess I will have to wait till mayweather goes broke again and again forcing him to continue fighting when eventually he will simply get merked.

    Marquez does not punch harder than Mayweather. That is ridiculous. LOL.

    Not ridiculous. Has a higher KO percentage.

    He has a higher KO% than Andre Ward as well, still doesn't mean he hits harder.

    I think it would be one of the biggest upsets all-time

    Marquez set up the leverage and angle for the shot in a way Mayweather wouldn't.

    Mayweather would be check hooking and pull countering Manny, so you are right.

    I do see a lead right catching Manny right when he is about to lunge in and putting him on his ass.

    Mayweather's KO would come from a much more clinical fight.

    It would be similar to Ali->Foreman->Frazier->Ali rock-paper-scissors kind of deal.

    I would be worried about Pac's chin in a Floyd fight now that JMM can apparently hurt him.. but Floyd is a different kind of fight altogether.

    JMM knows Pacquiao in and out. Not the case with Floyd. JMM prime for prime is really a more difficult fight for Pacquiao then Floyd is.

    Floyd is susceptible to feints, very conservative and jittery about getting hit, and he doesn't move his feet or put punches together like Juan does. It's a very different fight - prime for prime I'd favor Pacquiao. Today, obviously it's a different story.

    Every fighter is susceptible to feints if the person is regularly landing. That is the issue with Floyd, you will rarely land on him and your feints end up occupying your mind and keeping you from ad******g to what he is doing to you, which is making you uselessly feint while not doing anything while he walks you back and picks you apart when you finally do do something.
