What must PBF do to beat JMM?

[Shadow boxer 3]

floyd has all the advantages. all he has to do is be smart then pick him apart

[MoneyMayFan]

Punch marquez in the face
Its simple

plenty.still doesn't take away from the FACT, that ray would have beaten floyd's ass.

I disagree with the asswhipping part, I think if they fought Ray Leonard would win mainly because Floyd can probably not stop Ray Leonard or really keep him honest. I could see it being a close fight if Floyd forces it into a boxing match, the more contact there is the more it favors Ray Leonard. If worse comes to worse though I say Floyd turns the fight negative and just avoids fighting, I think that Foyd would be a very hard person to truly whip, because one of his main goals is to not take punishment (he could lose possibly every round but contact in those 12 rounds would probably be less then Hatton ate in 2rounds, some people might consider such an outcome an asshipping though).

Floyd is a hard man to really beat up, he is just one of those type of fighters (he can lose because of this though because if you are good enough to force an asswhipping on him, he will fight very hard for that not to happean and might forget about actually trying to win).

no.this is not me hating floyd.i like floyd's skills, but we're talking ray robinson here.imagine jose luis castillo as an amp with speed and power at 1.
ray robinson speed and power in his prime was 11.plain and simple.ray beats the **** outta floyd.bottom line.

[One - Shot]

hit and run...run and hit...hit and runnnnnnn

[BrooklynTszyu]

don't fight like he did against Oscar

a gameplan more similar to the one against N'dou would be more effective in my opinion

I agree. Floyd was gettin' caught with a good number of jabs when he fought De La Hoya. Marquez is an accurate, precision puncher who can put together some amazing combos. If Mayweather leaves himself open, then Marquez will capitalize on those openings.

Respect JMM

[The Gully Gad]

Anyone else besides me think that Floyd is gonna bust out a Ricardo Mayorga and let Marquez hit him straight on the chin....have it have no impact on Floyd whatsoever.....n then have floyd brag afterwards about how good is chin is???

I can honestly say i cant see that happening

[johnm is...]

^^ yeahhhhhhhhhh its a fact....can it be proven?????

bout as much as floyd saying he's the greatest of all time.

This is a really tough fight for Floyd.

JMM is the #2 P4P fighter who seems to have increased in power in his last two fights. Casamayor and Baby Bull were never stopped previously. Marquez is a smart, experienced fighter. Manny Pacquiao is one of the greatest fighters of all time. If not for a couple of KD's, Marquez would have beat Manny twice.

So, Marquez is a great, great fighter who is giving up about five pounds or so. That is offset, as Juan says, by the two years of inactivity that Floyd brings. You can't just get off your sofa after two years and beat a HoF fighter. That is the stuff of legend. SRL-type stuff.

To accomplish this, PBF must ensure that he gets great sparring to bring his sharpness back. But where do you get sparring partners as smart and skilled as JMM? Floyd must be more aggressive and try to put some distance on the scorecards via a KD or two. JMM can be caught. But his heart is amazing.

Floyd must ensure that his stamina is first-rate. JMM hasn't tired.

To beat JMM, Floyd will have to ensure his defense is the difference. Offensively, they are about even.

Power - even
Speed - Floyd
Defense - Floyd
Offense - Marquez slight advantage
Intangibles - Marques (active, on a streak)
Training/Corner - Marquez


This is a pick 'em fight.

it trips me out how you unloyal and blind boxing fans see PACMAN beat, a washed up, weak hatton b/c of PBF.

so now that makes JMM a viable opponent for PBF. ahahaha, highly laughable

extra "haha" for that

you fools are simply dumb.

this is chess. PBF is going to destroy the guy pacman has been dodging just to **** with Pacman and let Pac know whats coming his way.

PBF is going to murder JMM and pAC
