Marquez: "My Skills Will Overcome Floyd Mayweather Jr"

[Iceta]

So why did he refuse to fight JMM at 140????

I'm no Floyd fan by any stretch of the imagination. But here are the double standards. People call Cotto a warrior for dropping as little weight as possible to fight Pacquiao, but yet Mayweather is fighting JMM one pound lower than what Cotto is coming in against Pacquiao and gets bashed for it. As a fan of JMM, I would've rather had JMM fight Mayweather at 147 believe it or not. Skills pay the bills. There are already a couple of things that will take shine off of JMM's potential victory over Floyd. The ring rust and the rib injury. I want Mayweather to be at his absolute best so that one of my favorite fighters will get the full credit for beating him.

I can't imagine what will happen to mayweather when Marques beat him even MD or SD..

lol daaaamn thats a nice pic u got there. lol neway i agree wit ur statement but i dont believe floyd has really been inactive. yea he hasnt fought in 2 years but his physic looks just as good as wen he left. floyd retired knowin he was gonna come back 1 day. he knows he has to gain the respect of the fans to b really considered the best of his time.

i would have to give Mayweather the edge since he's a natural WW, .

Yep. A 'natural welterweight' who just happened to fight 85% of his career below welterweight.

c'mon no trinidad? no oscar DLH? no pernell whitaker? i know they didnt end theyre career like they shud have but theyre better than alot of names u named.

FMJ has not fought in two years. Why tax yourself to make weight when you already have to shake off significant amounts of rust?

I think most pro fighters would tell you that two years of inactivity is a bigger disadvantage than moving four pounds.

I don't understand why he doesn´t stand a chance....yet everybody wants and gives a chance to PAC....last time I checked PAC & JMM were both fighting the same weight with 2 close fights...

Around 1 month prior to the fight, JMM's chance in beating PBF is the same as Pac's chance in beating DLH... that is prior to the fight. I bet that PBF wins this one but will be rooting for JMM.

You obviously haven't checked for a long time - that was 17 months ago.

[Mr. Chago]

is anyone actually giving this dude a chance to win.. .

Floyd hasn't fought in almost two years. If Marquez can't beat THIS VERSION of Mayweather, then that either a) doesn't say much about JMM's ability, or b) further cements FMJ's greatness.

Keep in mind that Floyd is also fighting above his best weights. Have any of you really been impressed with Floyd's work at 147? IMO, Mayweather's best days were at 140 and below.
