Who is a better counter puncher? Mayweather or Marquez?

Mayweather is so refined and clean with his counters I have to vote for him. I know he throws 1 and 2 punches at a time but he's so smooth with it he never looks uncomposed or ragged with his counters, whereas, as much as I love him JMM tends to get sucked into brawls and gets hit too often when trying to counter for him to be better than Floyd at it. The combination thing doesn't seem to hurt Floyd as he tends to make his opponents gun shy with his sharp 1 and 2 punch counters anyway.

Ok people the question was who is the better counter puncher not who i's ducking who or pacquiao vs jmm Ok strictly who i's a better counter puncher i's hands down mayweather and he showed that against Marquez when they fought Mayweather can hit so fast af get out of the way jmm counter punches but has been proven he gets knocked down when he does that and mayweather doesn't so my pick i's mayweather And I'm not bias to no boxer I love boxing it doesn't matter who

lol...you voted for floyd but you admitted that you think jmm is a better pure counterpuncher which is what the ts is simply asking.....so you voted for floyd only becuase you like him just like you claim others voted againts floyd becuase they hate him....lol No man, I said counter punching and defense go hand in the hand. The fact that Mayweather can make his opponents miss, counter and then quickly get out of harms way counts for something. Right after Mayweather counters he's quick to shorten the gap (Giving his opponents little room to punch), tie his man up or turn them, Mayweather does this better then Marquez. What Marquez does better is that he counters with combinations.

Pure counter punching? Marquez. Floyd has much better reflexes, handspeed and defence.

I chose JMM cause I hate Mayweather!!!! No but seriouosly i chose JMM because he counters with combos not one punch..Thats why people find Mayweather boring..Counters with one punch and if he misses he clinches cause he closes the gap so fast. To each is own I say.

This is a weird question, because they are completely different types of counter punchers. Floyd is obviously a better one shot defensive counter puncher, but Marquez uses his countering as an offensive weapon in a way Floyd never has.

Both are great couner-pucnhes, But id say that Floyd is the best out of the two

Yeah I did, I dont even take that poster serious. Too many people on here would vote against Mayweather simply because they don't like him, so me, I don't even take these polls serious anymore. lol...you voted for floyd but you admitted that you think jmm is a better pure counterpuncher which is what the ts is simply asking.....so you voted for floyd only becuase you like him just like you claim others voted againts floyd becuase they hate him....lol

Did u read the first 2 or 3 answers. "I pick Maquez becuz Floyd's afraid and ducked Manny etc." Seriously. Yeah I did, I dont even take that poster serious.

Yo chill out :lol1: Did u read the first 2 or 3 answers. "I pick Maquez becuz Floyd's afraid and ducked Manny etc." Seriously.

Mayweather is clearly a better counter puncher than Marquez in my opinion.

I can't belive 8 people pick Marquez just becuz they don't like. They're willing to look like Jackasses and idiots becuz they hold a grudge against someone. Damn what is this world coming to. Piece of shyt people probably giving birth to piece of **** kids that r gonna ruin the world with their stupidity. Yo chill out :lol1:

Mayweather by far his average connect % far exceeds Marquez

i'll say marquez

Floyd's,it's simple,Marquez counters well,but he still gets hit way more than Floyd!!Floyd's countering ability's make him hardly get hit while his accuracy remains high,nuff said!! good point. marquez lands more counterpunches but he takes more shots himself in return while floyd picks his spots more carefully. i think its very even and that u can make a case for either one, im gonna go with floyd since hes been able to be effective against the best pure boxers out there with his counterpunching ability. marquez wasnt that effective against chris john and casamayor, so against smart fighters his counterpunching ability doesnt look as impressive as it does against overaggressive and technicly flawed fighters. floyd has been able to outsmart the smartest and most skilled fighters he ever came up against like genaro hernandez and including marquez. yes i know marquez wasnt a credible win given the weight, but size diffrent or not floyd was outsmarting him too and that aint got **** to do with weight. its the kind of question u can have a diffrence of opinion on though. marquez for example uses more counterpunches then floyd does, not just landing more often with countershots but with a larger variety. he counters any punch his oponent throws and can come back with basicly anything too. floyd studies his oponent and then looks for the same 2-3 countershots all night.

Mayweather is better than Marquez in every department clearly shown in their fight.

floyd with single punches definitely i like the way marquez puts his punches together though both fighters have incredible timing aswell and control distance perfectly i think james toney is better than both though to be honest

I have to agree to disagree,a counter punch is a successfull blow landed after the opponent throws 1st,having the ability to make an opponent throw,miss & be hit in return is what makes Floyd the better counter puncher in my opinion of course!! Where are we disagreeing? Just saying, if we disregard Mayweather's defense (And I'm not doing that) I think Marquez would be the better counter puncher because he's able to counter with combinations.

This is why I voted for Floyd, counter punching and defense go hand in hand. But like Silencers said, if we're talkin' pure counter punching then Marquez I'd say.
