I hear some people saying even Steve Forbes would be better for Floyd than fighting Marquez... I probably have to disagree with that... I would have preferred Floyd fought a LEGIT WW for his comeback... but I still think Marquez would be better than someone like Forbes.

I noticed this also. But had it been Forbes, people would be saying it should have been Marquez.

I would have been more happy with a tune up against someone like Collazo though. Even though I know that would never happen.

Yeah, I would favor Juan over Forbes at ww...

Marquez is an elite fighter and is only marginally smaller than Floyd. Plus, he hits harder I think and really aims to hurt you.

I am expecting a great, even fight.

I dunno much about Isaac. Only seen 1 of his fights. He could beat Forbes. The rest beat JMM at WW.

the only guy jmm can beat for certain is forbes (and JMM won't stop him), and that fight should be at 140 lbs not WW.

all the other fight is a tough fights that JMM will either lose or win by a very very very small margin.... so small that its not worth it to fight them.

i don't understand the polll.

you're asking us who would be better for floyd to fight (because you started talking about forbes out of the blue)... or are you asking us who jmm could beat at WW????

No no, the poll is between Marquez and the other 5 fighters..

Someone in another thread tried saying even Steve Forbes would have been better for Floyd to fight than Marquez... as if Forbes is a more legit challenge at WW than Marquez is... I disagree w that, I think Marquez beats Forbes at WW... and is more of a challenge than Forbes at WW.

Any WW is better than JMM. Boxing degrades a fine champion by having him move up 2 divisions fighting a guy he cannot defeat.
