Who was winning JMM or Casamayor Before the knock out?

[The Dreamer]

Yeah from what I heard and barely saw casamayor would of won but when marquez caught him he couldn't step back and recover because his legs left him. But my point is if casamayor was beating marquez skill wise and so did juan diaz does marquez really have a chance against mayweather?

Isn't the outcome of the fight the most important part in the end though? Wasn't Taylor also beating Froch skill wise in their fight? This isn't a game where you punch in skill stats and out pops a winner.

People spend so much time and effort trying to analyze every little thing only to have their "expert analysis" be way off (except for Emanuel Steward who is always right of course )

As far as we know Mayweather could be very well be beating Marquez skill wise only to get knocked out late as well. Then what? Too many variables to ever count anybody out in a fight, especially at the top level.

It doesn't matter, Casamayor was shot, prime Casamayor beats prime JMM anyday

JMM is close to the same age, and has been through worse wars than Casamayor, especially the two fights with Pacquiao.

Prime JMM would defeat prime Casamayor.
