Better for boxing, Mayweather win or Marquez win?

Mayweather needs to win as it will do more to elevate boxing than JMM can plus JMM will soon be very old and can't really do much for boxing's popularity like Floyd can. What we need is Floyd to beat JMM in an exciting manner that makes us think woah Floyd isn't messin about anymore!

Whats all this better for boxing Talk Ts? I think who ever wins,wins.If Mayweather wins thats fine,and if Marquez does thats fine too.

Easily Mayweather 1. It could lead to a super fight...Mayweather-Cotto/Pac 2. Marquez wins he probably tries to fight Pac a third time...outside of that where does he go? Stay at 147? Go back to 135? 140? 3. Mayweather is much more well known than Marquez and was considered P4P#1 before he left...and is considered an ATG Marquez is gettin up there in age...I don't know how much longer Floyd will stick around but he's better for longevity and popularity of the sport Exactly my thoughts. Mayweather has more time left in the sport, have more possibilitys for great matchups. He can if he chooses to take on all the best at 147, maybe even fight some more fights at 154. This of course presumes that he wants to make thoose fights.

Easily Floyd. Marquez is on the end of his career, it wouldn't help boxing at all for him to beat Floyd. If a guy like Berto or Paul Williams beat Floyd, then you'd have something. If Pac were to beat Floyd it would set up a possibly CLASSIC trilogy. That would be good for boxing. Nah, Marquez needs to lose this fight. Floyd must go on.

In my honest opinion, wins by either Mayweather or JMM will not do much for boxing...As mentioned in earlier posts, JMM is getting up there in age...If he wins, the obvious next move would be him calling out PAC (whether Pac wins or not...) Because let's be honest, a fight with Cotto would just be too much to ask a guy at that stage of his career...If Mayweather wins, he will price himself out of a match with PAC (if Pac wins) and get chased by Sugar Shane (who is just completely embarrassing himself and ruining his legacy with his desperateness to land that one last payday...although I don't blame him after Jin completely ruined him financially...) After these two fights, and when these fighters retire, there is really no one left in boxing that can bring together the fans...Mayweather brings every1 together for sheer hope that he will lose (the ultimate 'bad guy' right now in the sport) or fans of the sweet science of a defensive minded guru....Marquez brings Mexico because he is the last Mexican hope for now until JCC Jr. fights somone of substance or worth or just by name recognition (but papa JCC won't put him in to any war, don't blame him, that's a father protecting his most prized commodity)...Pac brings the Philippines & has an actual following in Mexico after his wins over their legends and the United States (thanks to Nike propaganda & a growing Filipino community on the West Coast) and Cotto brings all of Puerto Rico behind him...there are no other draws in the sport left when these guys exit... Sad to say that when these four exit, no one can step in...so really, a win by mayweather or marquez only extends the inevitable that boxing may start to lose the luster that it has right now...I think this will be Mayweather's last fight...Pac has 2 megafights & 1 farewell fight...Marquez retires if he loses to Mayweather or has 1 more megafight (with Pac) if he wins...Cotto retires if he loses and sustains a beating or if he wins has 1 more megafight with Mosley or a farewell fight in PR... All I know is I'm looking forward to Mayweather and JMM...really would love to see a fighter force Mayweather to go to war, and I think JMM could possibly do that...For God sake, JMM drinks piss... ANYTHING is possible! :boxing: WAR JMM (cuz I'm selfish and I want to see a third fight with him and Pac at Jr. WW to settle the score!) :boxing: Out of curiousity, has there been any trilogy between two fighters that crossed over three weight classes because imagine a trilogy between Pac and Marquez would cross featherweight, Super featherweight, and Jr. WW?

If Pac beats Cotto he's a top WW...in my opinion at least I agree. A Cotto win legitimizes Pac as a WW. But it also makes his status even higher than it already is. Arum would mos def want a bigger cut of the purse for Pac then. And Mr boat buyer wouldn't take less, or even 50-50. If he would, it's all good. But if Pac beats Cotto, I'm sure Arum would be bitter about, but still willin, to take nothin over less than 50% of a lot, just to spite Mr boat buyer.

Real talk homey. If Mr boat buyer will fight the top WW's, it's gr8 he's back in boxing. I don't think he will tho, so I couldn't care less if he left again. Dude just holds up shit. JMM will fight anybody. Like I said, $ talk aside, it's best for fans of boxing if JMM shits on the script. If Pac beats Cotto he's a top WW...in my opinion at least

how so? just look at the greatness that occurerd between matchups while he was gone. a floyd loss is what boxing needs. lets be real. Real talk homey.

I want to see JMM humble Floyd as a fan. As far as the interest of boxings future, it would be best for Floyd and Cotto for that matter to bad ko JMM and Pac to discourage the notion that catch weights are ok and not dangerous. I'm pretty sure the WW's will KO the lil guys and dead this catchweight bullshit. And hopefully somebody sticks that diamond belt up Sulaiman's ass.

Mayweather. Floyd against the winner of Cotto/Pac would be the best thing for boxing along with the super six tourny in the past 10 years. JMM has had two close disputed fights with Pac, and while a third should happen, frankly it can wait as everybody wants Floyd to face him.

There's no guarantee Pac beats Cotto, or that if he did, $ wouldn't block Pac-Mr boat buyer from happenin. Obviously that's the biggest $ fight in boxing atm. From a $ standpoint, of course boxing makes more if JMM follows the script. From a pure fan's standpoint, not thinkin about $ and the 'business' of boxing, I'd luv to see the warrior slay the cherrypicker in this one. It'd be a helluva story. Guys wit JMM's heart are gr8 for boxing and its fans, and it'd be the shit to see him elevate to a higher level. :boxing: I actually think a Mayweather-Pac bout would be entertaining...Pac is gonna force Floyd to fight like Hatton did. Foyd's never faced a hellacious southpaw who can keep it up...Pac has never fought a defensive wizard with radar-like accuracy who can adapt to anything in the ring... Pac-Marquez 3 would be entertaining but Marquez isn't gettin any younger...those guys are made for each other...any fight between them would be close

I also agree. If Mayweather loses this one, I don't think he'll ever fight again and we need him in the sport.

We need Mayweather to win this one, boxing needs people like Mayweather to pull it through when there's no other clearly OUTSTANDING competitors to take over once he's gone.
