Martinez, big, fast enough to hit floyd and strong enough to knock him out. On top of that floyd seems to be on his way out. He took a lot of big shots from Cotto in their fight. Floyd is and should continue intelligently avoiding this fight..
In a prime for prime fight i would favor Morales, he was a far more complete fighter than Marquez but when it comes to resume i think marquez has done just enough to surpass him. Close.
yeah sergio isn't looking like his normal self. i don't know if it's because of the pressure of fighting at home and trying to entertain or if its just age and injury catching up to him. He's going to have to learn to keep his guard since he's on his way down. Hopefully he doesn't learn it the hard way..
If we're talking about pure skill alone and not career, ricardo lopez is arguably number 1 for greatest Mexican boxers. He's a better version of jmm. Doesn't sacrifice defense to counter.
I hate how people think that because pac was knocked out by jmm that mayweather is just going to walk through him now. The reason why jmm does so well is because he fought him 4 times. 1st fight, jmm gets knocked 3 times. makes some adjustments and comes back stronger in the 2nd fight getting knocked down only once. He comes out of the 3rd fight with no knockdowns. And in the 4th fight, he not only gets a knockdown of his own but a knockout. I want mayweather to finally make this fight happen now thinking its going to be easy and get knocked out himself. Unbiasedly though, i would favor mayweather against pac. Mayweather basically does what jmm can with counter punching but better and faster which is nightmare style matchup against pac. The only way i see pac winning is by coming out aggressively from the opening bell. Mayweather tends to start off slow against people whose skills he respects(shane) while pac is usually a fast starter(hatton). If pac can apply intelligent early pressure i can see him being fast and strong enough to get the knockout but the longer the fight goes on and the more mayweather makes adjustments, the lower the chances of pac winning are. I see either a knockout win by pac in the 5-8 rounds IF he comes out aggressive but if not, which is more likely, floyd wins with a close decision.
