    De La Hoya blog: Marquez will beat Mayweather

    Everything is in Juan Manuel Marquez’s favor now. Floyd Mayweather has a lot of distractions, he’s been away from the sport for two years and he has a rib injury. I strongly feel everything is falling into place. This is the right time for Marquez to beat him.

    And even if Mayweather didn’t have these problems, I feel Marquez’s style is well-suited for Mayweather. Mayweather is going to want to prove not only to himself but to all the fans that he can put on a good show, which means he is going to have to stand in front of Marquez. That will work in Marquez’s favor.

    Marquez is not a slow fighter at all; he’s faster than people think. He showed that twice against Manny Pacquiao, who is very fast. And Mayweather doesn’t throw punches in bunches like Pacquiao. He throws one, two punches and that’s it. That will allow Marquez time to think and find openings. It won’t be like Pacquiao, who throws punches from everywhere the whole fight.

    I dont like listening to Oscar nowdays because he flip flops on the daily and just speaks as a promoter more so then a boxer or a fan. I do totally disagree with what he said about Floyd standing in front and how many punches Floyd throws. Thats how everyone feels now and its so not true. Go watch Floyd's fights before Baldy. He was very Offensive and threw a ton of combos. Anytime he faces guys near his own size he lets his hands go. Again, people act like theyve only seen him fight Baldy & Oscar

      Marquez won't be fast at all at 144 the way he is bulking up.

      Can't say Oscar ain't bias here.

        Hoya has been wrong so many times lately in predicting a fight result. Hope he's right this time.

              I think the panties that the drag queen is wearing are a little tight and thus cutting off the blood circulation to the brain.

                I dont know if everything is in JMM favor but i give him a chance of beating Mayweather. Just the fact that JMM isn't one dimensional. I hat when poeple compare jmm to Baldi and gatti. I hate to say it but those 2 were one dimensional and JMM isn't . JMM will adjust as much as he has to and find a way to beat mayweather

                  The Promoter talks not the boxer.
