    After seeing the brief footage in 24/7 I am 99.9% sure that the original postponement was for Mayweather to have more time to prepare and get his timing back. I think Floyd will be too strong and win a comfortable decision.

    Mayweather either a late TKO or a lopsided decision

    I've seen his age being mentioned many times. But I do agree it gets overshadowed by the fact that he's the smaller fighter (Aka light weight). It's an important comment... I think Marquez looked fair at best in his last fight against Diaz.

    And yes, I clicked view post. :lol:

    A sense of humor. If it's followed by a peace flag I'll wave mine.

    If there is some justice left in this earth, JMM should win ....

    But, let's face it: Gayweather has the upper hand here :twisted:

    I truly, truly, truly hope I am wrong and JMM will pull an upset

    With all the upsets the past year or so I'm amazed so many people think this would really be THAT much of an upset.

    Moving up in weight isn't as difficult as it once was, even less so when you're already a world class talent. Pacquiao has proven that in his last few fights.

    And the size difference...? People are aware that Hatton walks around 50 plus pounds above where he fights, yes?

    Marquez is a skilled dude with a lot of heart, he might make the fight interesting. Who knows, I'll cross my fingers though.

    With 25 raw quail eggs for breakfast, and a warm glass of **** for dinner; I would definitely bet on Marquez in a Fear Factor contest.

    Marquez drinks his own pee. He's going to win.

    everything tells me that Floyd has the speed and size but if Marquez really wants this fight and fights smartly he could score an upset....It is a question of intangables...at 36 he must use all his experience and be aggresive but do not chase Floyd...fight in and out and let Floyd come to him and then flurie sporatically and then out and in...do not let Floyd get his rythym......thats his chance...but if he lets Floyd get comfi and gets into a chase...Floyd will pick him apart

    The keys to this fight will be defense, speed, footwork and timing. Yep I see FMJ dominating, and Mayweather's combinations may be back for this 1. Size isn't that big a deal as FMJ is blown up a little at 147 himself just as JMM will be but he's a little bigger and there highest fight night weights are 8lbs apart, on fight night they'll be 2lbs weight difference as JMM is bulking up a little

    Marquez has a good shot here - I still favour Floyd tho - I dont see any situation were a 2 year hiatus can actually help you.... I have a feeling that JMM might upset a few plans & future big fights here but thats my gut, I`ll stick with my head & say FMJ by decision in a lively fight.

    I dont understand why anyone isnt looking forward to this fight, wtf is wrong with you people ?... seriously.

    2 elites doing battle is ALWAYS good news, no matter the circumstances.
