    Will Mayweather actually use his physical advantages over Marquez?

    I was just thinking about the fight and how Marquez will have to jump a couple weight classes. At first i thought it was a major disadvantage, but then i started thinking about it, and Floyd is the type of fighter who's mindset is to outbox you, counter you and make his opponent miss. You rarely see him get physical in the ring. Plus Marquez..though smaller, its not like he's going against Paul Williams or Margarito.

    No, the smartest fighter in Boxing will not utilize any advantage that may be beneficial at all to him.

        And its not that Mayweather will have all these physical advantages over JMM, it will be that JMM's ABILITY will be VOIDED by all the WEIGHT has has to GEIN in order to fight.

        Weight + Mass = - Speed.

        How is a fighter who will be losing speed be able to compete with one of the fastest in the world?

          the power advantage that comes with being bigger will obviously be utilised, as will his abilty to take the smaller man's punches

          i don't imagine the fight will involve much clinching or inside work but i'm sure Floyd will impose himself there if he has to

            What kind of formula is that???

            You mean

            Force = Mass * Speed

              Hes not going to come out pushing and swinging like Mayorga....hes going to teach JMM what a true counter-punching box is.....hes going to get his rounds in then KO him...

                I agree. the thing with Mayweather is he's a boxer first, a boxer second and a boxer third. His goal is to outbox you. You rarely see him rough house. He's not like a Hopkins at middleweight or a Hatton at 140 who really impose themselves on their opponents physically.

                  Floyd is going to use his physical advantages,like he's never used them before,I bet floyd fights agressive and makes this fight look like Hatton-Castillo!!!Then claims he's back in fine form and would have done that to anyone!!
