What if Marquez pulled a Floyd on Sept 19th?

Its possible this is exactly what he will do. Especially if Floyd acts outta character and tries to be a tough guy, which he probably won't.

not gonna happen, marquez for his mexican fans.. he just can't. he'll be fighting, but fighting smart, jabbing, counterpunching, being active.

In other words you mean "what if Marquez uses defense".

If so, he would have a better chance of beating Floyd.

Coming forward, pressure, boxing, none of that has worked against Floyd. None of his opponents have used defense to beat him, maybe Marquez can be the first one but i doubt cause he's known for trying to mix it up a lot. That's why he's called "Dinamita" Dynamite, Explosive, TNT, AKA not the defensive type.

While Mayweather is called "Pretty Boy" doesn't like to get hit in the face, very defensive, won't mix it up much.

Believe me I agree it probably won't happen, but I do think it would provide an opportunity for Marquez to throw Floyd off and scramble his head up a bit.

It is not that what makes floyd's fights boring. It is the part where he readjusts that makes him boring. He actually runs away from the opponent and readjusts. That might not seem like a lot but when you factor in the frequency it really slows down a fight. And a slow fight = boring fight. I don't see Marquez doing this.

Juan Diaz was landing flush shots on Marquez even stunning him at times and we all know J Diaz ISNT EVEN on the same level as Floyd.

I was thinking about this the other day. It would make for an interesting (possibly damn boring) fight, at least in the beginning.....but, bear with me. We've all read the posts and articles (including Coach Roach) on how the counterpunching styles of both fighters could make this a snoozer. We all know what Floyd will do. What if Marquez gave him a taste of his own medicine? Picture this. Marquez enters the fight waiting for Floyd, even throwing in some shoulder rolls for good measure. Imagine Marquez waiting on Floyd and fighting a totally defensive style, occasionally feinting, waiting for "Money" to make a move and countering? Imagine him keeping this up for 1, 2 or three rounds? Do this until Floyd gets frustrated thinking WTF? He could be thrown off by this strategy, become more and more aggressive, committing and paying the price, with Marquez now countering and dictaing the pace, completely reversing roles. What are your thoughts?

That's pretty much saying that Marquez can out box Mayweather, and i cannot see that happening in no way shape or form. In the middle of the ring, Marquez won't have much success. Either he pressures, or losses a wide decision or maybe even worse then that. Floyd has the faster hand speed, superior defense, better ring smarts and is naturally bigger.

Juan Diaz is a very aggressive fighter that always goes forward. Mayweather is a very defensive fighter who always goes backward. Exactly opposite styles.

Watch Marquez vs Pacquiao 2 to see what I think will be a close representation of what the Marquez Mayweather fight might look like.
