Former four division world champion Juan Manuel Marquez, one of five men who have faced both Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao, says the undefeated pound-for-pound king is not going to take any chances on May 2nd at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Marquez faced Mayweather once in 2009 and fought Pacquiao four times - in 2004, 2008, 2011 and 2012.
"Floyd's style and technique has given him 47 wins, so why take a risk in the biggest fight of his career. Floyd is a technical fighter who can make it a boring fight if that suits him. But I think for me, in terms of the fight, if it can be a quiet fight for Floyd - he's going to take that and look to get a clear decision," Marquez said in the ESPN Deportes Studio.
"The height difference was noted [when they were together at the presser], but in these kind of fights height and strength is not a big difference. Most importantly is who has the better mind in the fight, who launches their attacks better, and uses their defense better, which Floyd Mayweather know how to do well and Pacquiao must improve on."
