1- If Floyd knocks out JMM within the first 3 rounds what will you say? Will you say that this proves how big of a mismatch it was and Floyd shouldve never fought him or will you say, size advantage and all, Floyd still shouldnt be able to stop him that early so you have to give Floyd credit for that. I mean if JMM is really that good he should still be able to go some rounds, right? You rarely see someone move up and get stopped early in a top tier matchup unless there like brawlers or something.
ANSWER: If he stops him early, it proves what I already know. It's a mismatch. That being said, I wouldn't expect that to happen. I'd assum ehe stops him mid to a little late. Somewhere in the 7 to 9 range. Mayweather is dramatically bigger. He fought well and comfortably at 154, Marquez best weight is 130. There is NO WAY around that. Nonetheless, I'm still excited for the fight.
2- If Floyd dominated him over say 9 rounds and stopped him late, what would you say? Would you say that this proves that it was a total mismatch and shouldnt have happened or would you say, size aside JMM has to land something or stop something because this looks like as much of a skill defeat as it is a size defeat.
ANSWER: Marquez' skills are less than Mayweathers in most categories. Not an insult. And the fact that Marquez does some things better proves how great of a fighter he really is. Nonetheless, if he stopped him late, like I think he will, it'll prove that the little things Floyd has over him added up and a man can only take so much of that.
3- Do you think that after this fight more people will come away with the conclusion that it wouldve been a different fight at 130-LW or will more say that Floyd wouldve owned him at any weight and is just P4P a better all around fighter.
ANSWER: I think I'd have my money on Floyd at any weight, but if we were somehow able to take the best Floyd at 135 and the best Marquez at 130, and make them meat at about 132 or 133, it'd be a much closer fight. Nonetheless, we'll come away with what we always come away with. Mayweather fans living through their fighter because they don't have anything to celebrate about themselves. This isn't hate, it's just the truth. Floyd would be a much more popular fighter if the fans he already had were dead. (And if he didn't talk, which he sucks at to begin with.)
