Comments Thread For: Roach: Marquez Had The Win, Let Final Rounds Slip Away

[hitking]

Exactly, They're two different type of counter-punchers. Marquez is an excellent counter puncher like Maywather but the difference between the two is Marquez knows how to handle Pac which is counter punching him with combinations and being aggressive. If mayweather chooses to counter punch using pot shots, that's not going to do the work. Floyd won't win by throwing 40-45 punches/round, while he has a guy across from him moving around the ring, jumping in and out like the Tasmanian Devil, throwing twice that number of punches. Floyd will have to take risks like Marquez by punching with Pac using combinations.
Is floyd capable, Of course. Only question is... does floyd himself believe it!

I didn't exactly see JMm taking any risk. He basically fought off his backfoot inviting Pac in and countering him. And at times, he would try and pot shot Pac. But when he did this, he had to take risks of getting hit in return. Mayweather will be able to counter Pac as good or better than JMM. The difference is, he won't have to take the risk to lead because of the height and reach he enjoys that JMM doesn't. When Pac is being countered, he becomes somewhat timid and not as active. When this happens in the Mayweather fight, he's finished because Mayweather can pot shot him without being in range of being countered himself.

You're right. Styles make fights. And Mayweather is a bigger, faster, stronger, superior defensively, and a better counterpuncher than JMM. The reaction has nothing to do with a triangle theory. The reaction comes from Pac struggling with a lesser version of what Mayweather would bring.

Mayweather may be a counter puncher but they're styles are nothing alike.. not even close.

Maybe Pac's recent crappy performances were do to him experimenting with not being on the power pellets. I mean, he's been "cramping" in all his fights. Withdrawal???

I'll take that as sarcasm.

Woulda, shoulda, coulda. But didn't.

Agreed. I'd watch PART 4. There's more of chance you'll get your MONEY'S worth rather than watch FLOYD throw a SUCKER PUNCH when his opponents hands aren't even up and end the show in 4 ROUNDS.

Translation: Mayweather will beat Pac to a pulp so the best bet for my hero is to try and concince the world he's scared and fight JMM again.

What did JMM do to Pac tlast night that Mayweather isn't capable of doing?

[SERVILEV]

i agree, cant say what the outcome of a pacq may fight would be by the pacq marq fight(s) marqs a counter aggresser! mays a good counter potshoter!
two very different styles.

[wizard king]

why are people acting like may has no offensive skills,many of you morons are in for a rude awaking when may unloads his offensive attacks on pac. its going to be gatti beat down.

no ****king way pac beats may their is just no ****ing way not going to happen. you *******s can keep dreaming but pac was exposed by a past prime 38yr marquez and if you dummies think for a moment that may cant attack better then jmm you are seriously smoking crack.

Mayweather has a date and a venue. Tell ya boy to show up and that will turn into woulda, shoulda, coulda, and DID. Unfortunately, ya boy will continue to try and convince your kind that Money's scared and ya'll will eat it up. Have fun watching ya boy against the Ortiz-Berto loser next spring.

BTW, regardless on what the official result was night, ya boy lost that mythical P4P title that ya'll hold so dearly. Pac will not be on top of one credible P4P list after that performance. So now, the ball is no longer in Mayweather's court. Pac has to prove that he's the best fighter in the world. And he's gonna have to face a stylistic nightmare to do it. Goog luck.

JMM was basically on his backfoot all night countering Pac and pot shotting from the outside when Pac was confused and not active.
