    Marquez the counter puncher or Marquez the pressure fighter? I think the counter punching Marquez would do best.

      I hear theirs tickets still not sold for the fight, wow Mayweather has such a huge-fan base. When we see the audience and like no black people in the audience but a primary Mexican audience, I wonder who they came to see fight.

        Marquez should make Floyd leadand only go on the offensive as Mayweather pulls back.

          If Floyd makes a significantly smaller man chase him. I'll never watch a floyd fight again ever even against pac(just ****in around).. But seriously though floyd would look like a ***** if he lets marquez do the stalking..

            He already did that against Hatton. Floyd does not have a real pressure type style, he trains for his opponents to apply pressure so he can counter them.

              He should let Mayweather come to him then counter and move out.

                I think Marquez should pressure him early to feel him out in case of ring rust. If that doesn't look to be working early, change it up to counter punching.

                  Given his size disadvantage, his whole game should be about finesse. Dude needs to get his shots in and move.

                  He's fightin a bigger and stronger guy, so he should be mindful of Mayweathers punches for every second of every round. All in all, I think if he aproached this fight in the same fashion he aproached the Paq fight, he should fair well.

                  His defensive sharpness is going to carry him to a win, especially late in the fight.

                    Sosa tried the sit back and counter routine that Marquez does and he lost a wide decision in doing so.
