Everyone thinks this is going to be such an easy fight for Floyd i dont.
I actually dont think Floyd has the power like Manny Pacquiao and i also think Marquez has a quality chin and he has never been knocked out.
Marquez isnt stupid he knows Floyd is also a counter puncher so it will be a chess match... Marquez wont charge into him and he will fight when he has to fight so dont be suprised that this could be a boring fight...
Marquez has come up in weight and has knocked out the two best in the division that no one has knocked out before in Juan Diaz and Joel Cassamoyer... And thats a pretty good accomplishment...
If anything i think the ring rust and drop in weight could play a part in this fight...
I see it going the distance and like i said dont be suprised if its a boreing fight... Hopefully not because Marquez is the more aggressive fighter but he isnt stupid either... Its Mayweather who can be very boring...
I also wouldnt be suprised if Marquez would have knocked out Hatton too...
Give Marquez the credit he deserves... I dont think he is that stupid to be blown out by Mayweather in 2 rounds like Hatton was with Manny...
Calling Floyd just a counterpuncher is not really looking at his style correctly. To me Floyd battles his opponents style and tries to destroy it by whatever way he sees fit. He is very versitile in the ring do not sell this part of his game short.
If JMM tries to box from the outside he will catch a baeating, if he tries to brawl in close he will catch a beating. So he has to maintain a perfect range on Floyd to have any success, and Floyd just will not let that occur that often (throwing uppercuts from the outside that worked so well on the Baby Bull will get him knocked out against Floyd).
I think you are selling Floyd very short here, he does many things in the ring very well, that is why I favor him over JMM not size.
JMM is the same way. These guys are complete fighters. Floyd and JMM can fight anyway they please and be effective.
JMM get hits too much but that was from the best P4P puncher in the world and yet he survives 24 rds of it. Both JMM & PBF were accurate punchers but I think the Power advantage belongs to JMM. PBF is defensively elusive but JMM is a Counter punching punisher. This not a sure thing for Floyd.
I predicted Pac will KO EM, JMM, Hatton & DLH. The only guy who proved me wrong is JMM so far. I predicted also that Pac will fight Diaz, DLH, Hatton & PBF consecutively. Now JMM has the chance to derail that prediction again. I'll be rooting for Floyd to win coz I want Pac the 1st to KO PBF. But this JMm might prove me wrong.
I'm glad you're not one of the multitude that thinks PBF is invincible. Too many are already marking in Floyd's left column, and I want to go on record here to state that this is nearly an even match, with the odds only slightly in favor of PBF.
And if Marquez wins, you can bet your ass every single one of those assholes will blame his layoff, weight drain, dehydration, and anything else they can think of.
I hope Marquez doesn't sign a rematch clause.
jmm gets hit to much..and floydn is the most accurate in this sport....but ya'll will witness the truth on july 18

I have $50 dollars on floyd winning. But i dont think anyone is gonna get KOed on july 18th. Its gonna be a chess match
If the odds break 3.5/1, I'm going to put a grand on Marquez. I just won't be able to help myself. I think he has about a 40% chance of winning.
Hell, they've already done it. I wonder if I could get 4/1 if I wait, or if the Mexican betters will bring it back to sanity.

JMM averages around 40% of his hits. The man is all about precision punching.
JMM: Highly skilled fighter. Gave Pac hell and there are many that believe he beat Pac at least once. And he has never been knocked out despite facing Pac twice who landed some clean hard shots on him.
MMMMMMMM.....not a bum fight or an easy fight especially since we don't know yet where Floyd is at in his career/life.
People need to calm down and wait and see.

Floyd has never been known for pure power like Manny. However, he is known for being laser like accurate in his punching so while yes Manny is the more powerful of the two Floyd will land cleaner and more consistently than Manny ever did. Yes yes I know Floyd is not known as a volume puncher but then one he does throw he makes them count and that constant barrage of punches will wear down JMM IMO.
Marquez isnt stupid he knows Floyd is also a counter puncher so it will be a chess match... Marquez wont charge into him and he will fight when he has to fight so dont be suprised that this could be a boring fight...
Marquez is indeed a smart fighter but he is also prone to wanting to exchange. The times he was in peril against both Diaz and Pacquiao were the times he thought he could exchange with them. This leaves him square and more prone to being hit cleanly. In order for him to have any shot he has to stay disciplined enough not to try and go punch for punch with Mayweather because Mayweather will make him miss and pay for that miss more than vice versa
Marquez has come up in weight and has knocked out the two best in the division that no one has knocked out before in Juan Diaz and Joel Cassamoyer... And thats a pretty good accomplishment...
indeed but IMO there is ceiling to JMM. Remember he is 36 not the 25-27 that Floyd was when he started moving up in weight. I do think this plays a part in what happens because unlike Floyd who moved up in correspondance to his body maturing, JMM is moving up mostly to go for the big fights.
Also in order to knockout both he had to basically wage even wars with them. In the Casa fight while there was decent sustained action it was on an even playing field until JMM out attritioned him. Same with Diaz in that he went through a war in order to get the better of Diaz.
He wont be able to rely on that and yes while Floyd has been out for some time it's not like he got out of shape. The man perpetually trains and is in shape quite a bit.
If anything i think the ring rust and drop in weight could play a part in this fight...
maybe the rust but Floyd I dont see having any issues in dropping to 144. All that means IMO is that he has to actually cut weight a bit as opposed to just training for a fight. Remember he only has to weigh 144 for about 3 seconds until the official weight is announced
I see it going the distance and like i said dont be suprised if its a boreing fight... Hopefully not because Marquez is the more aggressive fighter but he isnt stupid either... Its Mayweather who can be very boring...
its all about preferences IMO. Some people see what Floyd does in there and like it some don't but there are some nuiansces that he does that intrigue me so I don't think he is boring at all.
I also wouldnt be suprised if Marquez would have knocked out Hatton too...
maybe but he would have to go through more than what Floyd did judging by his recent fights. Even in the Barrera fight he had to wage war at times against a shop worn version of Marco.
Give Marquez the credit he deserves... I dont think he is that stupid to be blown out by Mayweather in 2 rounds like Hatton was with Manny...
I don't think anyone is picking two round but lets face it. Mayweather does more, is bigger (not by much but lets say for arguement's sake he is more acclimated to being in the 140s than JMM) and takes less punishment to deliver his.
JMM is a great great fighter indeed but he has a lot of aspects going against him that makes me think this is his cash out fight rather than a true challenge
And Marquez isnt?
No he is not on Baldomir's level in that department. He is much better overall on defence and especially offense (just a better overall fighter in general).
lol..baldo outweighted floyd by 17 pounds and has 1 of the best chins in boxing..jmm on the other hand was getting rocked by juan diaz and was dropped 5 times by pacman..big differance
Arguably beat Pacman as well, whats that say.
Marquez is an outstanding fighter. Floyd couldnt knock Baldomirs block off hows he gonna knock Marquez off?
Since win is not taking out Baldomir any sign of a lack of power, that is a tough tough man with a great chin.
This fight will not be competitive at all!! JMM will be lucky to win 2 rounds. But one thing is certain, this fight will be a chess match. With less than 120 punches per round combined from both.
