Mayweather/marquez official

Bad sportsmanship to leak this the day before Pac-Hatton. Even Schaeffer said he wouldn't do that. But it's an exciting moment nonetheless. not bad sportsmanship at all.....exact opposite. if anything, it ADDS to the allure of this fight....kinda "ups the stakes." the winner has a another mega-fight to look forward to.....officially now.

A agree with a lot of your analysis, but still think the issue is Marquez's chin. JMM is going to be forced to stalk mayweather, as you said, and carefully pick his shots and throw some of his combos inside. I think Mayweather will catch him and put him down a few times. We'll see if he can get up. Marquez showed a lot of weakness early against Diaz and will probably lose a majority of rounds. Hopefully we see Floyd come out more aggresive than previous fights being put in this situation with a lighter man with a suspect chin in Marquez. I really like Marquez, but the weight is gonna bother him. Floyd fights cautiously against people who are bigger than him. He is aggresive against guys more his size.

Keep in mind JMM was 140 in his fight with Diaz, 144 isn't much more, weight isn't going to be an issue for JMM. I think this is a very bad matchup for Mayweather because PBF likes it when fighters come to him. JMM is an extremely smart fighter, an excellent counterpuncher, he's got great accuracy and beautiful combos, and he can be very active if needed (although that won't be needed, PBF is pretty much the opposite of an active fighter). PBF is a fast potshotter, extremely good defense, and an excellent counterpuncher. His biggest weakness is his lack of activity and I think JMM is going to take full advantage of that, he is going to force PBF to be more active. This is such a bad matchup for PBF, I feel bad for him, this shouldn't be his first fight back. A fight with Cotto would have been a much better matchup for him. I wanted to see PBF vs Pacquiao later this year but I think JMM will beat him. A agree with a lot of your analysis, but still think the issue is Marquez's chin.

Lets see if Mayweather makes the weight. JMM should do like Manny did at the weigh-in and come up only up to 142.

I think Mayweather's inevitable fight with Pacman will set the new PPV buyrate record. There are A LOT of people who will buy the ppv if they think Floyd will get humbled for the first time in his life.

warrrr marquez!!!!!

Great great opportunity for JMM, but I just don't see him winning this fight.

boxing needs boxer not hugger

Floyd is holding a press conference tomorrow afternoon, they just said it on Sportscenter. Haha, Floyd is such a dick. Anything to steal the spotlight, I love it. I would not really call it trying to steal the spot light, more like piggy back it. He is trying to use the spotlight on the fight though for sure, all the media is in town already gives them something else to report on.

If he's back to get his crown, then he's not the King that you say. LOL you really tryin to start a debate tonight arent you

Pacman is P4P king at the moment, not Floyd. Floyd is back for his crown and a match with Manny

Very nice. Now all my Mexican cousins will be excited. JAT :wave:

Might just have to book my flight now while it's cheap. I hope it's at 144 or below. I don't think Marquez's chin will be any better at such a high weight, we'll see I guess.

King of What?? I guess he means P4P King?

King of What?? The P4P King

King of What?? King/God of BOXING son Where you been?!

Catch weight? I'm assuming, but it didn't say. It's breaking news, so I'm sure more details will unfold within the next few hours.

The Return of the King:boxing:
