Juan Manuel Marquez is Silent No More

[balintawak]

JMM will beat Floyd

I am Filipino, but a boxing fan first. I have gained deep respect for JMM's boxing skills and have been following his fights ever since he fought Manny. He is the best counter puncher I have ever seen rivalling only another great Mexican - the late great Salvador Sanchez.

I think the weight issue is over-rated. These guys have professional nutrition and training experts who's job is to monitor and know how to get these boxers to the weight levels that they need to be. The rest is up to the boxer's desire and determination. JMM is very deterimined and motivated - because his ultimate goal is to redeem himself against Manny.

Floyd better keep moving because I think that JMM will win the direct confrotations. Floyd is fast, just like Manny, but good counter-punching and timing will neutralize speed. Speed is one of the first things to go when you age, but timing will stay because it is based on experience and intelligence.

The only thing to worry about are the styles. Juan's fight with the Indonesian champion Chris John was boring because both were waiting to counter. Floyd's style is similar to John's so I hope this doesn't end up the same way.

I am willing to bet that JMM beats and even TKOs Floyd, but don't yet know how to bet on this site.

Marquez will hand Fraud Gayweather the biggest beatdown of his career. Yes even more damaging than the first Castillo fight(which everyone knows Fraud lost). Fraud will try and run and be ultra defensive once Marquez starts to find the mark in the middle of the fight but Marquez will catch him. He's one of maybe few that can force Fraud to fight. Then again it could be a borefest with Gayweather running scared of a lightweight all night.

If somehow, Marquez plays his "smaller man" role to the hilt, and make Floyd more bolder than his usual pot shotting self and chase him, he's got a great chance. That's the only way I see Marquez edging this one out against Floyd...

Yea but you can say what you want about Mayweather but IN the ring he's a very smart fighter. I think JMM is more likely to come forward because he wants to please the fans and make this a fight and Mayweather will benefit from this.

I just hope it's a decent fight, I don't think JMM can win this one and he has a chance of being KO'd if he's not very, very carefull.

No, it's not overrated. Weight is not the issue as much as it is size. Some won't understand that statement but those who understand boxing know what I'm talking about.

JMM has never fought over 135 lbs, ever. Mayweather is a naturally bigger man and has fought over 140+ more than enough to be adjusted to that weight.

I think that JMM was chasing Pacquiao for a very long time and couldn't get the 3rd fight so he decided that at age 35 he's going to take the money and run. Not to say he doesn't have a chance but I think he understands how big of an underdog he is and how fast, strong and quick Mayweather is.....even with a 2 year layoff.

I just can't see JMM winning this fight in anyway but I will be rooting for him and hoping for a good fight that goes 12 rounds.

Dont get your hopes up Marquez fans....FMJ is whoppinggg that buttt...

"There's Only One Mayweeeaaatherrr!!"

[lopez36]

why should we get our hopes high?? mayweather is a fraud fighting a lightweight,he should have fought a welterweight instead

[SceneSpectator!]

I think Mayweather would win in the later rounds, but I will not be surprised if an upset would take place. JMM is very capable fighter for top competitions!

Scenario that i would like to play out...Marquez beats floyd jr...and PACQUIAO beats Cotto..So when Floyd Jr..tries to get a fight with PACQUIAO he would be getting 35%....Can't wait for the day someone beats the **** out of MAYWEATHER....


50K Pacquiao over Cotto with NAPO
