Hypothetical Marquez Welterweight Matchups

[MANGLER]

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

Cosign homey. I do agree Forbes ain't a WW either, but that's it.

Also a decent poll to see what kind of challenge Floyd is really facing here.

[Joe2608]

I honestly think Marquez can beat most of them. Berto could be tricky, but then again Berto's flaws have been exposed already by Collazo. I don't really rate any of those people you named though so maybe i'm a bit biased.

Beats them all easily

He handled 147 Pacman, why can't he handle weaker less talented opponents

[Spacey1991]

Collazo would have been a decent tune-up for Floyd, but I don't think it would sell as well as JMM (awaiting ticket sale jokes ).

cause most of those guys are practically middleweights on fight night.

why don't pbf fight calderon? he's way more talented than all those guys you listed .

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.

Right now at this point in his career Mayweather only wants BIG names, no matter weight, age. Everyone does it. Boxing is dying and the ones left are either old, not in his weight division or already retired so no matter what he does he'll always get criticized. Even if he beats Cotto in a 170lbs vs 147lbs fight with his left hand behind his back they'll still criticize him. So don't worry about what people say, they will always say the same ****.

147 Pacman beats all those guys mentioned. Yet JMM handled and exposed that Pinoy hypejob. Somehow he will lose to lesser fighters just due to size.

JMM handled 147 Pacman. That Pacman is better than anyone mentioned PERIOD

Cotto isnt old, or retired... and is in his weight division.

Collazo would have been a **** fight

Collazo, Forbes, Berto...we know what to expect, an easy Floyd win

JMM.. unexpected and much more risky on the basis that he could get better with the weight

Collazo, Forbes, Berto are the epitome of safe fights because we know what they present, with JMM we just don't know
