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

[2501]

You can't just go by "how many future Hall of Famers...". You have to look at the consistency and the guy coming out of nowhere that you don't expect. The way Pac shocked Barrera,

Be honest. How many of you had seen Chris John fight before JMM went to Indonesia? That's the kind of thing that trips you up. The Junior Jones' and Leon Spinks' of the world. A Felix Sturm.

The difference with Floyd is that he never took those guys lightly. If there was some guy on the come-up, Floyd derailed that career. Made him look bad. And for that, PBF should be commended.

Everybody belittled Floyd "allowing" Baldo to go the distance. But the Vernon Forrest hit TaTa with huge right hands all nightand never made a dent.

But the more unbiased, objective and better informed opinion is still that Marquez has faced tougher, better opposition.

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

And Pac with the same fight night weight advantage over JMM struggled lets see how Floyd does .

[ThePunchingBag]

It would be ****** for him to say that he's fought better fighters than Mayweather. That would mean that Mayweather is not p4p#1 like JMM claims he is. I'll assume the same as the rest and agree that he has fought better opposition than Mayweather has.

Doesnt matter, style and size makes fights.

After 3 rounds Floyd will put the hurt on him!!!!

lol
How can Floyd hurt JMM he runs from his opponents.
These are both technical counter punching crafty boxers.
I cant see either guy hurting the other.
Should go the distance with Floyd probably getting a decision in a fight that is going to be controversial.

Lol at Rocky Juarez.

Barrera and Casa are good warm ups for Floyd skill wise. Still it's a different story with Mayweather.

See if you still say that after he gets beat a couple times. Those guys had their day. They might not be better then him but they are all solid.

Well, i have to ask myself what Floyd's record would be against Marquez' opposition, and what Marquez' record would be against Floyd's opposition.

When I compare two fighters respective opponents', I take that unbiased view and recognize that what was tough for one of them may be cake for the other.

For example, Junior Jones bedeviled MAB but Erik handled JJ easily. And i believe that JMM would have beaten JJ as well. Soooo, do we say that Jones was "easy work"? Barrera didn't seem to think so.

I don't think Marquez would go unbeaten through floyd's opp. Pac is TBD, but I do think PBF would beat everyone else on Marquez' resume.

With all due respect to you, your version is so simplistic as to be laughable.

This board can be disappointing on several levels. Here's a guy coming up on 3,000 posts. So, presumably, he's a dedicated boxing fan. And that is what he posts.

yeah your right about styles make fights and size.....but he has never fought a counter puncher as good as Marquez but with that said the size is what will make the difference your right but it will take more than 3 rounds I believe.

What's the stage after Denial called?

Yeah, Marquez should be there pretty soon.
