Lets talk about Marquez's arsenal

[THE REED]

Lol Yeah, I meant like, will Marquez look Gatti-like because of his inability to catch Floyd with counters? you know what I mean?
Marquez gets hit a lot, we know that much. Marquez is no speed demon with his hands, so i'm curious to see how he would cope with Floyd disappearing when he tries countering. Will he look like a sitting duck, who actually throws punches?

Marquez's handspeed is underrated... but it's his timing that's really impressive... you dont need speed if you have timing

[Kevin Jesus]

It's gonna be a tough fight, people who say that Floyd needs to KO Marquez to look impressive are smoking something. Just outboxing Marquez at any weight is something to brag about.

Pac strikes and stands there....

I disagree.

He is in capable....



Im gonna throw this out there and you guys tell me what you think...

Is it possible Marquez was holding himself back by fighting at 130 at 35 yrs old..? Kind of like Cotto fighting at 140?

He moves up and knocks out cassamayor and Diaz at 135... he seemingly looks better.. Moving up in weight at his age may not be a bad thing.

Also the way he throws his punches he is very technical, so he is able to use his weight and turn that into power... kind of like the anti joe

Marquez is more offensive minded now than he has been. He is also getting hit more than he used too. I think he is slipping as a fighter when it comes to reflexes and is concentrating more on the basics. It's pretty sad when the result of a slipping fighter is great KO's, but that is how I see it. He was getting beat by Casa and Diaz, so he is now stepping up more and sitting down on his punches

[Pugilistic™]

Marquez is a great counter puncher with alot of heart. Marquez is pretty much the complete package besides his defense. He can be prone to be knocked down but he always gets back up and fights.

I expect him to fight on the back foot knowing that Mayweather is the bigger man, and is probably more easy to hit when he is on the offensive. ( every fighter is more open when on the offensive but you know what i mean).

I feel Floyd will be willing to go forward knowing he is the bigger man, is faster on his feet and has the quicker hands.

I expect Marquez to catch Mayweather coming in here and there but Mayweather's superior handspeed and footwork will mean Mayweather will be effective getting in and out of Marquez's range while landing effective power shots. If Marquez does come forward and tries to pressure Mayweather he will be countered all night, Marquez has no chance of winning the fight this way. Floyd is simply too good on the backfoot.

Although i feel Mayweather would beat Marquez at any weight i am not happy this fight is happening because the weight advantage for Mayweather is too much for Marquez imo. I hope Mayweather fights actually 147lbers after this fight.

Marquez can time the phuk outta Floyd. He's the best at it in the sport. And Floyd is ideal for it, since he rarely throws flurries.

Marquez needs to feint more and draw floyd in to throwing punches. How can you time someone who is waiting to time you?

[K Larsen]

I actually think we are going to see a fighting mayweather in this fight. Were going to see toe to toe exchanges from time to time but still a cautious boxing mayweather mixed in. Something about mayweathers interviews saying hes going to give the fans a great fight tells me he really is. Especially that hes going up against a smaller fighter in marquez that is moving up 2 divisions and that cant really do much harm to his health if they actually fight. But can he fight better than marquez? He has shown he can before but marquez has shown us what he has in that scenario. This is all IF this scenario does happen july 18.

[KnockoutTheFat]

Marquez has a good counter right hand and an uppercut. What Floyd's gonna do, however, is make him look like a peanut when HE's going to be the one to make Marquez come forward at him. Marquez doesn't look good when he tries to force the action he needs someone to come to him so he can counter. So his best bet is to bait Floyd to force the action if he has any shot at winning this fight

Good points there deanrw. You might be onto something about him slipping, his reflexes and all.
