    I think it will be a closer fight then most think, considering floyd is coming off a long lay-off....and marquez is not ranked p4p number 2 in the world for nothing.....

    I still favor floyd, but it will be a close fight...

    curious, anybody picking marquez over floyd? and why?

    thats the thing, is there both counter-punchers, but i'm curious if marquez can make floyd come-out of his shell....if some how a fight breaks-out i dont like floyd's chances if they trade shots....floyd needs to get marquez out of his game to win...

    If they trade I still think JMM gets the worst of it, PBF's defense is much better and he is good at all ranges, outside, inside, mid range.

    JMM has got some KOs recently but he wore his opponents down over many rounds, he isnt a huge puncher so it will take more than one or two shots to put PBF in serious trouble.

    PBF has a lot of tricks to slow down the pace of the fight too. His holding, elbows and defense allowed him to win on the inside against Hatton.

    who ever is pickin JMM all i got to say is JMM gets hit alot and floyd doesnt get hit. even no JMM beat juan diaz, diaz was really hittin him hard. same thing when he fought pac . if he does that agaisnt floyd when floyd hit him he will not b able to land a shot on floyd. Floyd kos him or wins UD.

    Who am I rootin for? Marquez.
    Who am I picking? PBF.
    At a lower weight limit like 135-138, Marquez might do well. Above 140, not so sure...

    If it were not for the long lay-off, this conversation wouldn't be happening. IMO Mayweather is an unknown right now. He might look like himself in training, but who knows what he'll look like in the ring. I can only decided after watch the first 3 rounds who I think will take it. JMM might be coming up in weight, but you can't train the chin and who know perhaps PBF's rib injury is an indicator that he is breaking down. We'll see.
