Marquez is one of the smartest active boxers but Floyd Mayweather is the smartest active boxer. He also has more power, speed, and athleticism.
Can Marquez knock manny out?
No but if he comes in real sharp he could win a decision. He has slowed down a little but so has Pacquiao. This will undeniably be the toughest fight for manny since the last time he fought marquez

Originally posted by Trapped Bird View PostI really felt that Marquez was really close to breaking Floyd's will in that fight. I think after going back and looking over the tape, a fighter with Marquez's high ring IQ can turn the tables and give Money his first loss.
What do you guys think?

#1: I think I'm in the minority here when I say that I give Márquez a good chance at beating Pacquiao this November. Márquez is older and fighting out of his weight class, but to look at his fight with Floyd and say, "Look, see?" is stretching it. He looked bad because of two reasons:
A. Weight
B. Floyd's a clean counterpuncher and Marquez needs people to engage with him in order for him to get his counterpunching working. Márquez is a counterpuncher but he needs opponents to stay inside in order for him to do that
...which is why Pacquiao's style lends itself to him. In addition to that, Pacquiao may have gotten accustomed to fighting guys that never really had a proper style to beat Pacquiao in his last three fights. Mosley had a shot by landing a bomb (that was it). Margarito had zero defense. He beat Pacquiao up a little but he was never in that fight. Clottey...turned into a ninja turtle in that fight. The last fighter Pacquiao faced that was somewhat competitive or had boxing technique was either Cotto back in 2009 (and he got his ass kicked)...and Márquez in 2008. Márquez is not the same fighter nor is he in his weight class, but I think he's going to surprise people if he doesn't turn into Clottey or Mosley...and I say this because these two guys did not offer ANY kind of resistance and seemed content to cash in. Margarito, who didn't deserve his fight with Pacquiao, at least fought his ass off en route to a shut-out.
#2: No. We do NOT need to see Márquez/Floyd again. Even if Márquez busts Pacquiao up for 12 rounds and they go on for a fourth fight and Márquez knocks him out in the 1st round, the fight is useless. Floyd's style doesn't suit Márquez. Styles make fights. The same way that [Victor] Ortiz would've gotten his ass kicked had he beaten Mayweather and gone on to fight Pacquiao. Ortiz would've been bludgeoned by Pacquiao. It's the styles. Márquez CANNOT beat Floyd. No need for a rematch under ANY circumstances.
