Comments Thread For: Marquez Doubts Mayweather Will Take Any Chances

[rasdun]

Take chances for what? If you can beat someone without having to, then why do so? Do most people realize that almost all of the fighters who "took chances" and were blood and guts brawlers did so because that was the only way they could win? Do I think Floyd could push a little more and stop some guys? Sure. But why play into some other guys only chance and slug with him? That is idiotic. Floyd could have KOed JMM and Cotto easily but he saw no need. I mean sure that is one reason many don't like Floyd and thats fine. I am a boxing purist and I love watching pure technical fighters.

There's a difference bt having killer instinct and going for a finish and taking an unnecessary risk.
and your wrong. If he could've finished jmm and cotto easily he wouldve. Maybe he could've done it, but certainly not easily

Who are the "A level" fighters he should have fought?

I mentioned in my post above, but certainly Tszyu at 140 was the lineal champ.
Also Williams at 147 would've been a great fight. So would've a fight with Shane 5 yrs earlier bf Shane was almost 40

This stuff is just embarrassingly bad. Cotto, Canelo and Maidana have no power huh?

Name a fighter that Pac has fought with more power than them? Now name one that is faster than Pac? I am glad there is only one meaning of "taking risks". The one that is "Chuckguy" approved.

You are a Floyd Stan your view is blurred by Floyd's balls. Nice try though. Stick to what you know best and that sucking Floyd off

Marquez just picked Floyd to win.

Everyone is picking floyd. This is better for pac because of no pressure and he has nothing to loose. Floyd will have all the pressure on him being The Best Ever and all.

[radiotracer]

He stood right in front of Canelo, walked Mosley down and fought Maidana in a manner that he didn't have to. Cotto as well.

All these fights you named are more current. Floyd doesn't have the legs that he used to have so he has to stand his ground more. His boxing skills were more supreme in the lighter weights which also coincides with being younger.

I agree to an extent. The cheerleading from the SHO crew was borderline disgusting. And it made Floyd appear to be dominating far more than he was.

That said, the fight wasn't a draw. You score boxing on clean punching, effective aggression, ring generalship, and defense. Even though weren't many clean punches, Floyd had more. Neither fighter was aggressive. Floyd won in the ring generalship department because he got done what he wanted moreso than Canelo. And even though Nelo's defense was good and for the most part overlooked. I think Floyd was clearly better that night defensively.

I totally understand where you're coming from. I've said several times on here that I thought Canelo was more effective against Floyd thsn Maidana. That said, based on properly scoring a fight, it was a very 8-4 type fight, 7-5 at best.

Your post is very intelligent and observative . It's true Floyd's body language was over blown . The rounds I did give Canelo were because he was actually the one "Making the Fight" . At least he was trying to . So I gave him those rounds on work ethic , everyone scores a bit differently based in what they think translates in to efficacy . Some score clean shot (which they should) , some score body language , some score ineffective aggression like what Porter did against Kell brook . So since I really couldn't score off of many clean punches that fight , in instead scored off of who was making the fight happen

I see a lot of people getting their excuses ready. The only way May trades with Pac is if Pac makes him. However either fighter wins, there shouldn't be any excuses! Closing the show and trading is just your way of saying "give my fighter a chance". It shouldn't matter if Mayweather opens up. The opponent needs to just let his hands go, and if he doesn't. It's going to be a UD.
I'm glad I like both, no excuses from me!

floyd fans acting like they dont know what marquez is trying to say.

"why take chances if he can beat his opponent easily"

marquez is not saying for floyd to go out there with his head out to get knocked out. marquez is simply saying floyd will not go for the ko because that will make him more vulnerable so if its a boring fight dont be surpise because thats how floyd fights.

It's boring to you, because you dislike him. I like all styles of fights and Mayweather is exciting to me. He's not Pac, but when you appreciate boxing as a whole his style is one of many that works.

like a ****** and is about to make dam near $200 million and was ducked by pacquiao all the way up to his $75 million tax case in the phillipines.

For all the ped **** Floyd talks didn't he end up paying pacquiao for defamation?what a ******.

I forget who said it, but someone made a comparison to this fight and Lenoard vs Duran. It could go one of two ways. It all depends on what Floyd does. We already know what Pac's gonna do. If Floyd decides to trade with Floyd, then it'll look like Lenoard - Duran I. If he boxes like he should, it'll look like Lenoard - Duran II.
