Ring Knowledge/Skills Floyd or Juan?

I think Marquez is the better offensive fighter but overall Mayweather is the better fighter.

Mayweather is great at adapting to different styles and I would definitely give him the edge...even offensively I feel one of the only reasons Floyd punches one at a time quite often is due to not wanting to risk his hands, especially early. He's the most accurate puncher and if he was so obvious he'd be easier to block.

Floyd's mind is his greatest advantage over Marquez.

JMM has fought the best fighters,in any weight he has fought in,floyd ducked all elite fighters period!!!

Although I agree that floyd is the more skilled fighter, it is based on his defensive capabilities, and his speed. I think marquez maximises his physical abilities but isn't quite the athlete floyd is. Also a lot of people have a 36 year old marquez fresh in their mind and he gets hit more now then he did earlier in his career. Im sure if floyd is still fighting in his mid 30's we'l see a much more hittable fighter...only time will tell. In terms of ring knowledge I would say its about even, I think marquez is a better counter puncher, he makes his opponent pay more when they make a mistake often with 2 or 3 punch combinations. Where floyd pot shots more and often throws quick left and right hand leads controlling the distance and making his opponent miss after he's landed Very good descriptions of their boxing. I agree. Personally, I think a lot of people were overly impressed with the Casamayor and Juan Diaz wins. There's no denying they were great wins for JMM at this late stage of his career, but I thought Casamayor was way past his mileage and that Diaz was being overrated prior to the Campbell loss. Still, JMM suffered some damage in those fights and I feel he has slowed down a tad. You can see it in his face since after the Chris John farce. JMM has an excellent boxing brain and is very resilient but he gets hit a lot because of his style, and especially now that he's gotten more aggressive and exciting. That's why I feel that Floyd is going to pick him apart more so because of the added baggage on JMM.

JMM's defense is overrated. Floyd's D is topnotch and he's younger, bigger and has the faster reflexes.

Chop-chop corley Zab Judah castillo 2x Ndou chavez hatton Gatti Baldomir ODLH (not weight drained) Coralles Hell Floyd was going to move up to JMW to fight Corley again for Corley's title. Corley back out and faught his mandatory. Dont tell me Floyd doesn't fight top guys. None of those are tough fights? All of them were champions at some point. All of which could hardley hit Floyd flush, Floyd left all of those fights unscathed. He is way smarter than JMM. Period. That's an exaggeration. He got buzzed and hit more than usual in some of those fights. The only fights in that list he was immaculate was Gatti, Corrales and probably Baldomir. I also remember lowly Emanuel Augustus giving him a bloody nose and he had some crisis in the 1st Castillo fight and got wobbled by Corley.

seriously????? floyd never got put on his ass 4x. True. But you cant deny the fact, that he has never gone to War or put up against tactical fighter of his caliber. JMM has, that is another aspect of experience.

I give the advantage to JMM. I have yet to see in current times, a complete a Technical Boxer/Puncher, with a knack to counter punching. JMM's defense is overrated. Floyd's D is topnotch and he's younger, bigger and has the faster reflexes.

i think he has vs jlc 1 if i remember correctly.don't know if it was ruled a kd though! link or it didn't happen

jmm has been dropped multiple times... floyd's ass has never been on the canvas

it's what happens when you take on the tough fights. Chop-chop corley Zab Judah castillo 2x Ndou chavez hatton Gatti Baldomir ODLH (not weight drained) Coralles Hell Floyd was going to move up to JMW to fight Corley again for Corley's title. Corley back out and faught his mandatory. Dont tell me Floyd doesn't fight top guys. None of those are tough fights? All of them were champions at some point.

seriously????? floyd never got put on his ass 4x. it's what happens when you take on the tough fights.

Floyd in boxing knowledge is vastly superior to JMM. C'mon, no nuthugging. be for real. JMM is good but we aren't talking tenacity. We are talking -smarts-. Floyd's smarts are second to none. History doesn't even record many boxers smarter than Floyd. A man who never gets hit flush, and people say JMM who was downed 4x in the 1st, has more smarts? okay.............

it would have been more interesting to answer this question 5 years ago... to me, its like asking who is better @ this point, chris paul or jason kidd?

I give the advantage to JMM. I have yet to see in current times, a complete a Technical Boxer/Puncher, with a knack to counter punching. seriously????? floyd never got put on his ass 4x.

again, if it was just about JMM or Pac then I think he would go down but he still wants to fight other guys at WW and it could hurt him if he goes back down before then. I think he definatly wants Mosley but he wants these guys 1st that's a fair deduction, but what i said still stands at the end of the day, he's being somewhat unreasonable to JMM, who is a great boxer in his own right and deserves to have some leeway in the weight department if Floyd is agreeing to fight him

but the thing is Maywetaher forfeited the right to claim that anymore, especially what with him forcing JMM himself to move up to WW, where according to you Mayweather is not at his best again, if it was just about JMM or Pac then I think he would go down but he still wants to fight other guys at WW and it could hurt him if he goes back down before then. I think he definatly wants Mosley but he wants these guys 1st

I think the Layoff for a year will affect PBF and Since JMM has been active this year . The fight will be closer then people think

Mr boat buyer KO's JMM easily. Mr boat buyer is too big, too strong, and too fast for him.
