    Although Marquez scored a spectacular win over Diaz. If you watch closely you could tell that Marquez was not a 135 pounder. his legs were shaky at times and I really don't see him being a threat to mayweather at anything above 140.

    10-1 is what I am thinking. I don't see any way Marquez could win. Floyd has a longer reach, taller, better skills, good chin, etc. ....

    I guess you will be laying that 3-1 juice then. :smoke

    If I see -350 inside of the next week, I'll definitely throw Floyd into some parlays. I could see that line hitting -400 or more pretty quick.

    Maybe they see something about Marquez that we don't know. The guy is like 37 yo and had a tough time against Diaz. Ridiculous odds, indeed.

    He was also neck and neck w/ Casamayor when the KO came.

    I disagree. JMM puts better variety of punches together than Floyd which is what gives him the ability to land accurately even though he is not as fast as some of the other guys. If he had the type of speed Floyd had than he would obviously look better. JMM can throw the short right, can loop the right, can throw the short soft hook to the body followed by the hard hook on top. Not only the type of punches but the timing and how he could varies the force and speed behind his punches. His arsenal in terms of type of punches he has is fully loaded, it makes it a beauty to watch.

    Nevertheless, it is still not good enough to overcome the disadvantages of moving up in weight to beat the naturally bigger and stronger guy. If he were to be evenly matched in size, then I would say he has a good chance, but the fact is that he is moving up in weight, the extra weight makes him slower than he should be and also weighs more on his body which will effect his stamina.

    any advantage jmm has (which there aren't many if any at all) are negated by the size difference.. might as well be pacman fighting valuev...pacman is 1000x better but its irrelevant because he's smaller

    They know that Floyd handpicked Marquez.

    Well,

    Pacman stopped Hatton in 2, stopped DLH in 8.

    PBF stopped Hatton in 10, got a tight decision against DLH.

    Pacman barely got by JMM, it was mostly a draw.

    Considering this logic JMM has a pretty good chance against PBF.

    Unfortunately it's pretty accurate. Floyd SHOULD win and win easy. Marquez has some ****ing balls of steel though that's for sure.
