    :adminA mismatch skill wise! JMM is the best technical boxer actively boxing. I can't think of a more technically proficiant boxer ever other than Ricardo Lopez. The difference is that Floyd is more unorthodox whereas JMM is textbook. Floyd has more freakish skills, but a mismatch I think not.

    I kinda agree with the other things you are saying though. JMM is clearly naturally smaller than than PBF, their frames are different. But I don't think too much should be made of the size difference given that, as you said, Floyd doesn't exactly impose his size on other boxers and Floyd spent most of his career in the lower weight classes.

    Size issues aside, Floyd has never fought a fighter of the skill level as JMM before. It will be interesting to see how he handles someone as tactical and as skillful as himself.
