Very well said. A small guy like Zab judah doesn't get enough credit for his bravery fighting bigger opponents like Cotto and Clottey. The hate for him is disgusting and almost all his fights are exciting weather he wins or loses. I don't get it.
Floyd will fight in a defensive style making Marquez come to him then he will pull out the straight rights and catch Marquez with his incredible timing and accuracy. Floyd will break Marquez down but I dont think that Floyd will knock him out. I see Marquez taking a lot of shots and possibly bruising up Mayweathers face for the 1st time and I think he will go out looking great in defeat. Mayweather should win but there is no guarantees in boxing.
Coralles, Castillo, De la Hoya, Angel Manfredy, Jesus Chaves, Judah, Baldomir and Hatton are decent names on anybodies Record.
unfortunately, jmm as good as he is, should not be fighting above 135 and as old as he is he will be lucky to fight effectively for 8 rds against elite fighters. he is perfect for floyds "smoke and mirrors" approach to boxing. you dont have to fight the best as long as people think you are fighting someone just as good. sure jmm is smaller but he is the p4p #2, sure hoya is way past prime but hes beaten hall of famers and was once p4p #1, sure hatton looks terrible at 147 but he is the best 140lb in boxing, sure baldo is a journeyman but he holds the lineal title, sure zab lost to a journeyman but he was lineal champ, and so on and so forth. i cant deny that floyd is a great fighter but by the same token i cant deny what his track record says about him. floyds 1st real fight will come when he faces the best welter in his prime and even shane doesnt fit that category so even then you got to take it for what its worth. and before someone claims its not floyds fault, manipulation of timing is part of the smoke and mirrors.
It's very difficult to say that JMM is in his prime...most would probably say he is slightly past it. IMO his body shows a few small signs of slowing down but he has gotten smarter as a fighter over the last few years.
Mayweather TKO 7 Marquez He was the first to beat Hatton ... He was the last person to demolish DLH before Pacquiao and he will do something that Pacquiao couldn't do in 2 fights _ not only beat Marquez convincingly but also knock him out.
