    I am sure there are already numerous thread about this, but I want to know more on how do you view this fight? Do you consider this as a big fight, or just a gimmme for PBF, given the weight difference?

    And how do you see this fight panning out? What would be the differences? The size? The skills? Their styles?

    Will this be one of the better victories for Mayweather if he wins, or will be tainted because of the size factor?

    For JMM, what would make this on his legacy?

    And who do you see will win this fight?

    Appreciate your thoughts, guys.

    A good fight, marquez should give Floyd a challenge.


    if Floyd is rusty and has slowed since being off Marquez can win.

    I hope JMM wins. Not a big fan of Floyd even though I respect his skill and don't believe he should ever change his style just cause people call him a "runner", he just needs do what he needs to do to win. I won't root for Floyd to lose, just like JMM more.

    I believe he would beat both JMM and Pac. The size difference matters, JMM is taking a very big risk in moving up in weight, especially because of the quality of opposition he's facing. Although I'm not gonna come here and say the size is what's going to let PBF win, the size advantage coupled with his skills will.

    This fight is a tune up for Mayweather; but It's a fairly decent match for a tune up.
    Marquez is a really good fighter; but, I don't think JMM has much of a chance as he's oldish and kinda too small.

    JMM is a "name" fighter between 126-135#

    PBF is a "name" fighter at 147-154#

    supposedly a warm-up for PAC, we'll c

    If PBF win it's just another name.

    If JMM people will be screaming he's the P4P king.

    So in this fight PBF has everything to lose and not much to gain. This fight is all about what JMM can do.

    I see this only as a tune up for Mayweather. It seems that Marquez already lacked some movement against Diaz at 135 and got tagged alot, or maybe that is just my observation. I'm hoping for this to be a competetive fight.

    I want JMM to win. F*@k Gayweather. Only a royal ***** would pick JMM at that weight and Gayweather fits that bill.

    A real man would have fought Cotto, Manny, or Mosley.

    A real, real man would fight Williams.

    Gayweather is not a real man.

    - a possible boring tactical chess match fight between 2 master counterpunchers...

    - a mismatch fight...

    - a tune up fight...

    I'm not wasting my money buying this possible boring fight...

    I wish your right but I feel this will be a one sided fight for PBF.

    Void refused to fight Pac, a fight which everyone wanted to see. Void has also refused to fight Cotto, Margarito and Mosely. Void wanted a lightweight. I will not buy such a fight.

    i hear that about JMM getting tagged alot...still tryna decide if thats a sign or whether or not he knew he could eat diaz shots and was waiting to set him up for counters and knock him out

    i love JMM....but i see floyd dominating this as much as he wants...if he puts his foot on the pedal i can see nacho waving the towel at some point....

    props to JMM though...for calling him out and getting the fight....definitley worth if it for him if he doesnt feel he can get pac anytime soon or if ever
