Is JMM making a mistake...?

[T-97]

in his eyes, making 4+ mill is no mistake.

JMMs a proud guy, I bet he'd rather win and get 2 mill then to lose and get 4 mill. I honestly think he's fighting for pride, not money.

They will balance it out. I dont think their game plan is to try to match Floyd with speed. I think they want Floyds Chin and body.

i thought you blokes speak engrish over in engalund

I think he's making a mistake in the way he's moving up to 144... he's talking about adding muscle so he can match Floyd for strength, but doing so will be effecting his speed, and possibly stamina. I would've thought he'd follow what Pac did more-so, coming in lighter to maximise the factors that are in his favour...

What do you think? Should he stay light for speed, or bulk up for power and strength?

Well to be honest i think the fact that Floyd hasnt been in the ring for two years is an even bigger factor, especially going up against JMM. Trust me he will be ready and prepared. there hasnt been a fight in JMM career that hasnt been ill prepared.

I would love to see the people at HBO show Marquez's "diet" for 24/7. What's he gonna do after training, eat some tacos and cheeseburgers to get to 144?

First, im not gonna second guess the strategy of a professional boxer but IMO, it’s a big mistake trying to bulk up to match floyd’s size


Marquez just needs to stick with what got him here…and that’s relying on his superb counter punching abilities, his great conditioning and his heart…


Since the PAC fight, he’s been on an unbelievable roll and he’s taking on a fighter that’s fresh off retirement….dont change it up too much and just roll the dice

marquez is going overboard, i thought he was better than this

True.

JMM is a smart guy, I'm sure he would realise that bulking up too much would harm him, but still... some things I've read have worried me.

You can think that if you want but he's doing it for the money. The other stuff is just icing on the cake. I will say that I think he see's an oppurtunity and he's trying to jump at it. He gets paid by far the most he's ever been paid, he gets to fight a guy who is the #1 guy in the game and is bigger but not nearly as big as the media makes it out to be, so if he loses then it wont look bad on him at all, and the opponent is coming off a nearly 2 year retirment. Everyone keeps saying that this is a lose/lose situation but I think he's looking at it as a win/win. I think his whole camp feels this way. Big money to fight a guy who's been off for nearly 2 years, he can beat the top guy, and wont be ripped if he loses. Like Hatton & Pacquaio, neither of them would move up to fight Cotto, Mosley, Clottey and so on but they will do it against Floyd because they dont think he's a real WW

Marquez is more powerful than you think and added with the cleanness of his shots he can do damage

And they know he'll be the one pushing the action and going forward so maybe they are ******** that power (I'm predicting he'll be fully utilising that beautiful one-two to each side of the ribs) is more important than speed in this one
