Marquez vs Mayweather

I was thinking this the other night! After watching some rounds. I didn't post because of the **** that I knew would get posted, but the way Marquez was landing on Mayweather was done in a boxing style that is rarely attempted on Mayweather; feinting, predicting his counters, landing over the shoulder by exposing it with a combination.. I mean it was a shut-out all around by Floyd anyway, the speed, reach, and weight all being factors, but at an earlier weight, this fight would have been awesome prime for prime.

I definitely think that a faster younger Marquez would have given Mayweather a real hard time. I don't know if he would have won, but at 130, or perhaps even 135, the sharp reactions and precise timing of both would have made it the ultimate chess-match of modern times.

 

I'm not going to flame and all, but I will leave it at I absolutely disagree with your perspective. There were points when JMM actually landed some punches and PBF would laugh and then come right back, never did I feel like PBF was hurt, remotely close to hurt, and/or hit with anything that made him question anything he was doing. He literally lost every round, I don't see anything about the fight that would make me or anyone else believe he "held his own".

That being said, I respect and consider myself a JMM fan, but he was outclassed, overmatched, and completely dominated from start to finish.

 

thats because marquez eventhough clearly outmatched with 0 chance to win has a huge heart, he will never give up.

 

Marquez got schooled brother....I doubt he will last more than 8 rds with Pac this time around if he does Manny better pack it up...

 

Marquez fought the right style against Floyd, but Floyd was able to just keep him off with his jab all night. Marquez couldn't penetrate and get in range because he was physically just too small.

 

yawn , fight was a mismatch . Mayweather is a horrible style matchup for Marquez, and at that weight he had no chance. I wouldn't say Mayweather was outboxing him either, just outspeeding him and potshotting for 12 rounds.

 

Marquez is a great counter puncher that is why he took Manny 12 close rounds twice so him hanging with Floyd was no surprise the fact that Floyd didn't go for the KO was bad.

 

Styles make fights.

 

Thanks for telling me I forgot no wait I didn't :-(

 

:tong

 

I actually felt bad for Marquez more than a few times and was hoping that Nacho would end it.

I completely disagree with you.

 

Guys, the OP is not saying that the fight wasn't a mismatch or that JMM was doing well, but that he was impressive in what he was able to accomplish and how he did it, given all the disadvantages, and that it may imply something better of the match-up at a different time or under different circumstances.
