the mab knock down of jmm was legit.
I know it was, and Nady totally dropped the ball on it. I'm just saying that I think a lot of fighters would've given up and taken a DQ victory after what Barrera did, and Marquez didn't do that. That doesn't strike me as a guy who is going to be easily knocked out.
Yes and No.
I dont think Floyd could flat out knock Marquez out. Pacquiao knocked him down 4 times and couldnt put him out. But i do think with Floyd's combination of speed and smarts he could swarm Marquez after he gets back up and force the ref to step in due to lack of activity from Marquez.
can he do it?
Floyd is too careful nowadays and JMM will do well against a counter puncher like himself. It will be a close fight in my eyes with the winner doing so by a SD or UD worst case.
No. This will be a long 12 round boring fight IMO. I'm pretty sure though that Floyd will be seeking to end this within 9 by kayo because if he doesn't come off this fight in dominating fashion like Pac did against Hatton I don't see him getting the bigger split or to call any shots when its time for the Pac/FMJ fight.
i dont think mayweather knocks people out with his power exactly but with his pin point accuracy and speed
Yup, he knows exactly where to land flush...
I would say Floyd can and he should.
Will it happen? Maybe, maybe not.
Marquez knows he's in the fight of his life and is likely training to avoid getting taken out quickly by Floyd. That means his mental game will be on point not to get KO'd.
If Marquez decides to act the brawler and come forward with his head down, he might get clocked by a counter that can put him down and out.
On the other hand, Floyd hasn't been in the ring for almost two years, and there's no telling how the injury has healed until he gets tagged there.
It is quite possible that Juan could turn the tables on Floyd and pull off an upset.
Right now, it's only speculation.
For all the people saying Floyd doesn't have the power to KO Marquez ; That's pretty lame.
Floyd is a 147lbs fighter, Marquez was a Super Featherweight a year ago, and has only had 2 fights at 135, and has never fought above 140, ever.
Floyd is bigger, stronger, faster, and younger than Marquez.
If he can't knock Marquez out at the catchweight of 145 that he picked ; he deserves every bit of ridicule he's sure to get for it.
That said ; I'd much rather see Marquez counterpunch the shit out of him and eek out a close, but clear decision win.
I feel the consensus is that PBF dosent have the powe to KO JMM.And also that PAQ has more power than PBF and if he couldnt KO JMM then PBF cant...
If he does KO JMM what will you think of PBFs power in comparison of PAQ?
I think it's unfair to say a fighter may get knocked out by a defensive minded fighter, especially when someone like Marquez has never been knocked out before. Marquez took the same kind of shot from Pacquiao on numerous occasions that did Ricky Hatton in against Manny. And Floyd only scored an accumulation stoppage on Hatton. Marquez isn't going to get hit as much as Hatton did against Floyd either I don't think. Marquez has been down, but he's always gotten back up. I don't know if Floyd could've survived that rabbit punch in the back of the head that Barrera hit JMM with while he was down in the 7th round.
