Thread: Floyd (who never gives rematches) vs the new and Improved jmm aka Jmm 2.0?

OK so I still give pac props for fighting the same guy over and over until the guy figures him out. (floyd would never do that)

But what do yall think about floyd vs jmm rematch? IS it worth watching?

Did JMM ever have one punch KO power?

Does this JMM pose a threat to Floyd?

A resounding.... NO. There is no "new and improved" JMM. It's just money-driven hype over a big win. The guy is going on 40, which is the only reason Pac agreed to fight him again - because they assumed him to be too old. Great win, all credit to him, but lets be realistic.

Yea but now he has one punch ko power! lol

Same result

Jmm looked horribly slow and caught pac because he knew him so well

Not a chance against mayweather, who is a superior jmm ... Albeit with less power .. Atleast now anyway

No, Marquez should retire. Mayweather is a bigger fighter and that was the difference in the first fight and though Marquez has grown into the weight, Mayweather is now a set 154 pounder. It doesn't have any meaning.

No

The toughest fight Floyd ever had was against Castillo, and he gave him an immediate rematch.

The same thing would happen again, a boxing lesson for majority of the fight, except in a rematch PBF would likely stop JMM.

Floyd does everything JMM does, better than JMM does. We saw that in the first fight and it wouldn't be any different in a rematch.

Whilst JMM is grown and better at welterweight than when he first fought Floyd, Marquez would not be able to beat Floyd who is way too good. JMM will probably have the 5th fight with Manny.

Nope Floyd fights Canelo next then maybe Bradley or Guerrero, or maybe Martinez

The Guardian is reporting that Arum is trying to make Floyd Marquez in May and Floyd Manny in September on the Mexican holidays.

Someone needs to tell the Guardian that Floyd and Arum don't do business with one another.

Yuck, really hope neither of those happen. Floyd would be completely wasting the year if he takes that route, from a fans point of view at least. I don't get where Arum would come in for another Floyd Marquez fight, the promotion for their first was surely GBP and Mayweather not a top rank card right?

As far as wanting to put Manny in with Mayweather now, that is typical. Arum must want to cash out while the fight would still at all, I'd guess Pacquiao wouldn't be able to demand even half of what he could have just a year ago.

The guy who wrote the story already knows that. But he's got a quote from Ellerbe saying Floyd might fight Marquez on Cinco. And that Arum is coming to the end of his career and wants to make lemonade out of lemons.

If you were Floyd would you rather fight Guerrero/Canelo or Marquez/Manny? Obviously the latter two make more money but just from a boxing point of view? You're Floyd, you've got three or four fights left and you want to minimise wear and tear and make as much as you can.
