Marquez' hands are much larger than Floyd's

[Iceta]

11 1/2" for Marquez to 8" for Mayweather. Hand size is a contributor to punching power. This may partially be the reason Marquez has been able to carry his punching power to the Lightweight division so well. In his only two fights at 135, JMM was able to KO Casamayor and Juan Diaz, who had never been previously knocked out. This is very meaningful, given that Marquez was coming up in weight and spent the vast majority of his career at Featherweight.

Given all the **** I just mentioned, do you all believe that Marquez can carry his punching power to the catchweight of 144 and be able to hurt Floyd if he can catch him with a clean shot (or two, or three). And remember, Floyd's been off for a year and a half. Just interested in your thoughts, that's all.

This is a great point. Nacho Beristain knows how to strengthen a fighter's punches. Why do you think that Ricardo Finito Lopez and Rafael Marquez have so many knockouts?
