Mayweather is definitely overlooking Marquez...

I don't think he is. He is talking about Pacman because the press wants it. But he will be studying JMM tapes and training his ass off for this fight Mayweather doesn't watch tapes on fighters, according to him.

marquez will be the best skilled fighter that Mr. boat buyer will ever face/has faced..so his down syndrome having looking ass better watch out:boxing:

floyd said yesterday that he hear to tslk about jmm not other fighter so how is he over looking him Because he's out talking a lot about his future prospects. He talks about Manny Pacquiao much more than Marquez.

i doubt it... PBF may be superficially arrogant but he really trains pretty hard for a fight... its his mafia who does... I know JMM is no push over. but i think floyd's speed, defense and skill will be to much for him. i think JMM will giv one hell of an effort

floyd is not over lookin anybody. i think he knows better than that

Much like the De La Hoya.Pacquiao fight, what happens when weight is not a factor? Then Floyd has his hands full.

In the past couple of days, Mayweather has been goaded by the media into focusing on future fight, and more than ever we're seeing Mayweather comment on how he'd "love to fight Manny Pacquiao" and things of that sort. Coming off of a nearly 2 year layoff and fighting against a VERY live underdog, I think Mayweather might be making a mistake by focusing on the future so much. Don't worry. Floyd is always a professional and he means business otherwise he would have stayed retired. It might be JMM's only chance to win if Floyd somehow looks ahead, but that will not happen. This is a tune-up for Floyd but it's a very important fight for him.

You can only hear something so much until you actually start to believe it. If Floyd is overlooking JMM, which I do not know for certain it is very possible that JMM wins because this is the brass ring for JMM. This fight means a lot more to JMM then Floyd Mayweather, if JMM is to spring an upset I think his desire to win this particular fight will play a large role (although I think Floyd understands what a loss would do to his earning potential, so I do not really know how far his eye is off the ball). He knows what a loss would do, but in his head the odds are so remote that he can't even fathom a loss. For JMM, it seems like losing is a very big reality. That has got to push him. I hope this manifests itself in the fight- I wanna see some fireworks.

I agree. JMM is not a tune-up, but the general consensus is that he is, and I wouldn't doubt that FLoyd is buying into that, considering his uncharacteristic evaluation of future fights when he already has one on his plate. Floyd usually stays talking about the fight at hand and promoting that one. But I feel like he's promoting his return more than anything else.

JMM ain't a tuneup, if Floyd wanted a tuneup he would have chosen Forbes or a fighter like Jennings I agree.

I'm agreeing. Yeah, Floyd is the heavy favorite and for good reason, but Marquez would never be a tune-up for anybody who is within reasonable weight of his opponent. You want to know what a tune up opponent looks like? Steve Forbes against Oscar Delahoya. JMM ain't a tuneup, if Floyd wanted a tuneup he would have chosen Forbes or a fighter like Jennings

Saying JMM is a mere tuneup is overlooking him for sure. I'm agreeing.

Marquez has nothing in front of him but Mayweather. This is the only fight in his head right now. Marquez is just a tune-up for Mayweather, right? Well by that admission you admit the possibility of Floyd not taking this fight as seriously as he should be.

He can afford to.

Saying JMM is a mere tuneup is overlooking him for sure.

Mr boat buyer handpicked JMM as a tuneup. Fight shouldn't even be happenin, but the lone chance JMM has is Mr boat buyer lookin past him. Least he could do is take JMM seriously, even tho he ain't a WW. I'll lmao if JMM somehow wins this shit. Come on Dinamita, kick his ass! :boxing:

when has floyd ever overlook an opponent? he got a point though. I've never seen him talk about another fighter he wasn't fighting in 1 of his pre-fight build-ups like this or this much. but that maybe a good thing and/or a bad thing. I guess we will have to wait and see.
