Marquez "I feel confident because I've fought better fighters than Mayweather"

[MANGLER]

He means the opponents he faced were better than the opponents Mayweather faced.

I hope that's what he meant Bully. If the man were to lose, I'd hate to know that overconfidence played any role in it.

And when did he say this TS? Link?

This......

Jmm you should feel confident not necesarily because you fought better fighters than him. But the simple fact you are p4p no2 and PBF isnt rated p4p. Hes been out of the sport so has to earn his stripes. As of this minute hes not top 10 p4p.

Pac is the only one on Floyd's level on that list, the rest were laughable

Wouldn't say laughable. Barrera fought at a very high skill level against Marquez. Casa stepped up his game as well.

[UnDeniable]

HE MEANT THAT HE'S FOUGHT BETTER FIGHTERS THAN FLOYD HAS FOUGHT.

this begs the question, who's fought the better opposition? i think he maybe right.

Floyd has beaten more world champions in more weight divisions while remaing undefeated

He's also been outweighed by 10 + lbs 4 different times while JMM never has

Floyd for me ( But knowing this forum i don't expect many to agree )

A 130lb Floyd would have beaten both badly IMO

how many future hall of famers have each faced?you'll have hard time believing yourself that floyd has...

[-EX-]

Floyd would go through Marquez's resume undefeated...

Marquez would have problems with Castillo and Corrales but he can beat them...

And Judah would present problems as well...

JMM is being realistic in terms of although knowing PBF was top candidate for being the best p4p. Dont mean to say he fought the best fighters in history. JMM feels he has fought better people and he has a point. So is just telling it like he sees it, and how many see it.

The only first ballot Hall Of Famer Floyd's faced is Oscar de la Hoya (not sure if Corrales and Castillo will be). Pacquiao, Barrera, and (possibly) Casamayor are first ballot's HOF and have more skill than anyone Mayweather's ever faced.

Barrera is as good a counter puncher as Mayweather. Pacquiao's as fast (feet and hands) or faster than Floyd with more explosive power. JMM has seen everything Mayweather brings to the table.

Floyd has never faced a fighter with the high level of counter punching and adaptability. Nice to see how he reacts to it, especially coming off a long layoff. That's why I'm expecting a really good fight.
