Will Marquez do better than Hatton did?

[Deja_Vous]

I don't think Floyd will pull a quit job like Smoke did, but he will likely try to make the fight boring.

He'll whip JMM around the ring until it's stopped.

If that's what you call boring then prepare to be bored.

Fight is going 12, Marquez wont stay down and Floyd wont meet the canvas

He'll stay down all right.

This **** ain't going 12.

Who has Floyd stopped besides chinny Hatton?

Who has Floyd stopped besides chinny Hatton?

Chinny JMM will be his next KO victim.

Chinny JMM will be his next KO victim.

It's more impressive to me to knock out two guys that had never been stopped than someone who almost got knocked out by Collazo.

Who has Floyd stopped besides chinny Hatton?

Check his KO ratio.

The guys he KO'd didn't get stopped watching him run.

Marquez is better technically then Hatton but he doesn't have the size.
He is gonna be fighting a guy who's been at welterweight for five years now and is well adjusted to the weight.
One thing you forget is that it was Hatton's aggresive man handling style that gives and gave Mayweather problems, Marquez isn't that type of fighter.
I don't think I've ever seen Mayweather in with a real counterpuncher like Marquez though.

What do you guys think?

Without a doubt, JMM is a much better fighter than Hatton. Despite his age, I think he'll Mayweather a more difficult fight than Hatton.

[RightCross94]

he will do better in the sense that he wont get picked apart and nailed coming in like hatton was

as far as lasting longer or whatever, im not sure

if floyd opens up and goes after JMM, he could stop him, diaz had JMM wobbled and he isnt as powerful as floyd

but thats not really floyds style, and he will be wary enough of JMM's countering and smarts not to do that until later in the fight, i think he stops JMM late or takes a decision

You have to ask yourself is Marquez the best skilled fighter Floyd has ever faced? What happens if the weight really doesn't matter? Then Marqez should have a decent chance at winning let alone put up a fight. He'll be competitive.

The only way Floyd can beat Marquez is by opening up...this might actually end up being a great fight. If Marquez can take Floyd's punches then how is he not going to win rounds? I do think either way Floyd will land at a very high percentage as usual, but he'll have to trade a lot more than he's used to.
