The reasons everyone is mentioning as to why Floyd dominates this fight at 130 are the exact reasons he would not dominate.
- Floyd attacked more at 130
- Floyd threw combinations at 130
- Floyd was more aggressive at 130
All these factors play into JMM style. JMM couldn't do anything against Floyd because PBF was not aggressive and never opened up and was satisfied winning a decision against a smaller man. At 130 JMM would have many more opportunities to counter and make it into a fight. That being said, I still think Floyd pulls out a close decision, but it would be much more entertaining then the match up at 144 where Floyd came in at 148 and even heavier on fight night.
A more competitive fight but Floyd UD easy... JMM is better when people press the attack, he's going to be frustrated yet again.
Yeah I agree jmm would have had to press the fight. Also he open for 1 of floods best punch which is a hook. Another thing dudes is forgetting is Floyd was a power puncher at that weight.
Floyd's D is so good that if he gets hit 5 times in a fight then people act like it was special. JMM barely landed anything. Floyd is 10x slower at that weight then at SFW and he stays inactive. He's always coming off of long layoffs. Thats why he gets hit early in fights. He waxes JMM at SFW where he is much more aggressive
My point is he was hitting him with clean shots. If Floyd gets hit it usually not a clean punch. But it could have been due to a long lay off.
I still don't think he would waxed him.
This is Floyd in his first few fights and even that guy wouldve given JMM hell, let alone when he started to learn more. He was way more polished coming out then the guys who fight nowdays
He looked like a veteran back then more than Paul Williams, Margarito, ect looks like today.
Floyd never fought an animal like marquez
until he fought marquez as a WW while marquez is still a JR LW (with a LW world championship)
marquez would chew him up and spit him out
floyd is evidently soft mentally
when faced with a real legitimate challenge in fighting pacquiao for fifty million for ATG status he started getting arrested
dude is scared
juan would take him to deep waters and drown him
lopsided marquez UD
they are different levels of fighter
if Marquez outweighed floyd by 20 lbs and had him hurt he'd knock him into retirement
floyd had marquez hurt and outweighed him by 20 lbs and didn't...?
think about it...
they are different in size
if they were the same size marquez would dust him
mayweather's got a lot left to prove to say he's the greater fighter than marquez
mayweathers never fought a great tactical boxer who was the same weight as himself. at least pac fought marquez twice whether you think he won or lost. the best mayweather fought was zab judah.
marquez on the other hand has fought norwood(robbed), john(robbed), casamayor and floyd. imagine if he cherry picked come forward brawlers like katsidis his entire career. still undefeated greatest of all time!
You ungrateful cunts need to realize of good JMM was at his prime.
This dude would have beaten Floyd at 130.
:nono:
I don't think so and it won't even be close. Mayweather by UD.
mayweather would never take this fight if they were both at 130. he only fought come forward mexicans while he was there. when mayweather was ranked 1 and casamayor 2 instead of fighting the undefeated casamayor he moved up to 135 to fight another come forward mexican named castillo. when casamayor followed him up to 135 and was ranked number 2 again floyd moved up to 140. you see the trend?

marquez is ten times slower at welterweight.
It's not a mid match IMO. Sh1t would be the perfect match. Floyd at 130 wasn't nothing to f-ck with. Jmm would have gave him a good run but I got Floyd by a UD at would be one of the greatest fights EVER.
Sh-t jmm was able to hit Floyd clean at 147. Which says alot giving the weight he moved up at. Both guys have great timing.

floyd only fought face first brawlers at 130 no wonder he looked so good. he ducked all the slick AA's like casamayor.
genaro hernandez, gregorio vargas, diego corrales, carlos hernandez, jesus chavez all the same style!

you sound like a Newbie. Floyd is rated as the best or 2nd best 130 pounder ever. He was so much faster than JMM is, his D is 10x better, and he threw combos back then. That fight is such a mismatch. Floyd is the worst matchup in boxing for JMM because JMM is the best pure boxer in the game "behind" Floyd. He's also a righty and no righty is going to hit a prime Floyd clean, espically with his reflexes at that weight.
Alot of guys are here are too young to remember what Floyd looked like back then and they dont watch enough film but he was special at that time. He even had great power at that weight and stopped nearly everyone. The bottom line is that there speed & athleticism at that weight is so far apart that its not even funny. Even at JMM best he still gets hit a ton & bruised up. Now imagine if that is Floyd he's in there against with his speed & accuracy? Its curtains
Um. Floyd at 130 is damn near as good as good gets. Offense, and defense, and incredible speed. Hell, he even threw combinations. At 130, he's a different beast. So NO Marquez is not beating him at any weight.
