This fight reinforces the reasons why Floyd picked Marquez to return to boxing. I'm not hating on Floyd nor Marquez but lets be real about this; Floyd is obviously a great businessman and realized that Marquez would be suspect when fighting him. He saw that Marquez didn't adapt to the weight at 135lbs and therefore at WW he would be too green to pose any threat as long as Mayweather check hooks Marquez ala Hatton.
Breaking it down: Weight-Mayweather, Height-Mayweather, Reach-Mayweather, Speed-Mayweather, Abilities- Mayweather, Counterpunching- Mayweather, Ring Generalship-Mayweather...the list goes on and on...what does Marquez have that can actually pose a threat- Will and Heart...that sounds nice but in the ring with someone with all those other attributes over you only surmises an ass whoopin.
The fact that Juan Diaz, who possess far less pop than Mayweather, was able to connect with a hook and it shook Marquez doesn't sit well with me. You can't build muscle on the nerve running across your chin and Marquez' head movement is very minimal in a fight. I read on another site that he stated he moves his head to not get hit but Diaz was tagging at will in that fight.
I don't see anyway that Marquez will win this fight unless he throws a hailmary punch and connects, which is highly unlikely. At first, I was going to say that this fight goes the distance but even as the fight approaches I have Floyd connecting with a KO or TKO in this fight probably around the 8-10 rd.
Anyways, as always I try to be as non-biased as possible and as much as I loathe Mayweather's shinanigans I never underestimate his talent. This is a fight that only Mayweather will lose if Mayweather doesn't show up, other than that he should have this fight on the lock and looking forward to the winner of Pacquiao v Cotto.
Floyd Mayweather would never fight JMM at the frantic pace that Diaz fought him with the risk of getting caught......I mean, he didn't even bring the heat against a Zab looking for every way out the fight..can we all agree that JMM is the best fighter Floyd has fought?.....JMM will probally lose, but it's not going to be easy...every time JMM is tested or he feels his blood, it's like he kicks it to another gear very few fighters can reach
I think a lot of us on the board would love for JMM to win this fight but the reality is that the cards are stack against JMM. Yeah Diaz was on a frantic pace but Mayweather will do far more damage without having to lose so much steam like Diaz. He will pick Marquez apart one shot at a time and if Floyd tags his left hook just like Diaz did JMM, would JMM still be standing? ...I think not because the barrage of punches Mayweather would throw after seeing JMM staggard would be precision shots aimed at taking JMM out of the game. Diaz had JMM staggered and didn't know how to follow up.

Marquez got hit a lot by Diaz and Diaz bearly hit Malignaggi. That is not a good sign but I still think Marquez got a lot left at the elite level in boxing but not at such a high weight. He should go back to 135 after this fight or trie 140.
The JMM loss hurt Diaz mentally; totally different fighter- too timid now

I am watching it again now, JMM waited till Diaz tired. He will figure Floyd out patiently because Floyd will not pressure like Diaz did.

Is it me or did Marquez also look a little bloated like he ate his way up to 142 lbs. He was far more toned out in his other fights and now carries bulk on his love handles. What's up with that?

I re-watched the fight too. Marquez is finished as a fighter no matter who he fights. His reflexes have severely diminished. If Juan Diaz had any power at all, I think there would have been a different winner in that fight.
