Mayweather never fought a guy as skilled as Juan Marquez

[Scott9945]

oscar de la hoya is much more skilled than jmm. so is zab judah (heart isnt a skill!!!!)

Judah is more skilled than Marquez? You mean the same Zab Judah who has lost every big fight in his career? Oscar isn't more skilled either, but at least that isn't a total joke. Your credibilty goes down the toilet with comments like that.

Marquez's age and the fact that he's moving up to a weight division he hasn't been before will ultimately win over any argument that him and Mayweather are at an equal level, as far as measurements as concerned. They're irrelevant. Mayweather has a clear advantage, stop denying it.

I'm not saying he's avoiding anyone or "picking on the little guy", that's just hating, but to say he doesn't have an advantage in this fight is just ridiculous.

I don't know about that. Style-wise, Marquez has always reminded me a bit of Genaro Hernandez. As he's gotten older, Marquez has turned aggressive but in his prime the similarities were striking.

I think the idea of Mayweather not having fought a guy as skilled as Marquez only means he'll really be able to work out the kinks. Again, the weight will be a factor. I don't doubt Marquez will be just as sharp at , say 143, but Mayweather ain't no Ruiz. His strength is underrated and it'll show against a smaller guy. Mayweather went the distance with nearly every welter then experienced a power surge against a Ricky Hatton moving up. Oh wait, the other guy he stopped at 147 was also a recent newcomer to the division.

I think the most overlooked aspect of this not-quite-signed bout is the fact that Mayweather is no longer a spring chicken. And his athletic skill has waned a tad. The first sign is when they become flat-footed. The second is when it takes the fighter a little longer to get in his zone ie. slight struggles in the early rounds. It'll be interesting to see what he has left after taking time off.

You guys act like Mayweather has been active for the last 2 years.
He has not fought in almost 2 years and his first fight back will be
Juan Manuel Marquez. The 2nd best fighter in the sport....


You guys Forget that:
Mayweather has spent 70% of his career at Super Featherweight
and
Juan Manuel Marquez has spent 90% of his career at Featherweight

and you forget that


Floyd has 8 fights at 140 or above,

while Juan Manuel has


0.


Just as in the majority of Floyds fights,

hes fighting a smaller man.

Leonard hadnt had a fight at 160 when he fought Hagler and look how that turned out.

How did it turn out?

[Vasyl’s dad]

How did it turn out?

Turned out, that after almost 3 years out of the ring,

Sugar Ray Leonard showed his worth to the sport of boxing and its history by going up and taking on the very best middleweight in the land.


Worthy of being called an all time great.


Ray could have easily came back after 3 years and fought Jose Luis Ramirez.


But he actually had some huevos in his sack.

Floyd has skittles.
