    Mayweather Sparring a Tough Find For Marquez

    Juan Manuel Marquez is still having a tough time finding sparring partners in Mexico who can emulate the style of his September 19 opponent, Floyd Mayweather Jr. Marquez is sparring often with Alejandro Barrera and Tony Fernandez. He says the two fighters come the closest to copying Mayweather's style. [details]

        floyd wont have any problem hiring some sparring partners who can counter punch. though those partners wont be as good as jmm

          Not many fighters try to emulate Mayweather in Mexico, maybe they should consider moving camp to the US or trying to get some sparring partners from the US to go to their camp. I'm sure there are way more sparring partners who emulate Mayweather's style across the border.

              throw alot of punches is not jm style. his bread and butter are counters and so is mayweathers.floyd is better on attacking when he wants to. jmm throws a better counter punch but floyd has a quicker counter punch. this will be a fight when somebody decides that they want the edge at the end of the rounds.

                    both these guys have a war in front of them and im pretty sure PBF has what it takes to ruin JMM but i am still willing to take bets on this 2K that PBF wins any takers?
