Honestly, I don't think he has much chance to win a decision. Floyd is one of the best at winning rounds and fighting to go to the scorecards, especially if he is going against someone as tough as Marquez has proven to be. Plus, even if it is a close fight on the scorecards their is a high probability Floyd gets the nod when it comes down to a split or majority decision.

So, does Marquez need the KO to win this fight?

Marquez has a greater workrate. May opt for decision.

i dont think he can KO floyd but still, marquez winning on points will be good enough. i can smell an upset here cause marquez is like an engine, he needs to heat up and when hes on the tempo, hes really great. floyd likes to figure his opponents first, so while marquez is heating up, floyd is trying to figure juan. once juan is on his tempo, he might just outclass floyd

He'd have a much better chance boxing with Floyd...and hoping he's rusty

Not a good idea to jump on Floyd(ask Hatton) especially when your a counterpuncher...

No. JMM ain't a WW. Mr boat buyer will be very aggressive against a smaller guy, so JMM will get his chances to counter without havin to hunt him down. JMM ain't got the pop to KO Mr boat buyer in a WW fight imo, but man I hope he does.

i gave him no chance in hell of stopping casamyor too. if anyone can get it done its JMM, no matter what size oponent is in front of him.

JMM has a big pop that puts down Diaz and Casamayor. If he is to hit floyd, there is a chance for a KO

I think He wants too. JMM wants an impressive win against Floyd Jr. KO scenario is not impossible. Remember Floyd Jr isolate himself for a long time while Juan is fresh from a battle a few months back.
