Remember when every one was saying JMM looked slow and not as good at lightweight?

Well he fought possibly the strongest/biggest Mayweather ever at welterweight...i just thought of that and if that thought does not sound crazy to you, then disregard this thread.

I just thought in round 1 if Juan Diaz can hit him, Jesus it's a wrap with Mayweather. Easy work.

Marquez did pretty damn good in his short spell at lightweight but he got hit way too much...

I am glad he got the money though, but I don't know what his team was thinking if anything beyond the dough.

Exactly! I guess some people were saying he had a chance because of his boxing skills, but I was telling every one that I knew that he did not have chance exactly because of that...you are not going to out box the best boxer in the world, especially when he was at a major reach, age, and weight disadvantage. Maybe if his team came up with a plan to pressure pressure pressure while still maintaining his tactical style and movement but he was not going to switch the pressure fighter switch on from one fight to another, especially jumping up 2 weight divisions. I do think that if he was as big or bigger than Mayweather, younger, and still withing his element to keep all of his prime skills and reflexes, then the fight would be a close contested one with Mayweather still winning.

They should have told him after the first round or two to just stand back and taunt mayweather. yell at him to come on, maybe do some chicken flapping.
