Marquez Does Have A Few Things In His Favor
First, I want to make it clear. I think Mayweather is too big for him and I think he sees JMM as a fight to make him look good in his return. I think Floyd will win, most likely by TKO, but don't be surprised if Marquez manages to pull out a hard-fought decision. Marquez has been active against top fighters who throw a lot of punches. He can keep a fast pace, even though he is getting up there in ring years. Im not so sure if Mayweather fight at a fast anymore. Also, JMM isnt going to be shocked by Mayweathers speed at 140. He fought faster fighters than Floyd and can deal with his speed. I dont think that will be an issue. One thing is for sure. Marquez can not be intimidated and he is confident, especially because he coming off some very big wins and a great performance against arguably the best fighter in the world. Seeing Pac have this much sucess at the higher weights can only help fuel his belief that he can beat a bigger opponent. Again, I see Mayweather winning, but an different outcome would not entirely surprise me either.

Re: Marquez Does Have A Few Things In His Favor
There's alot of things going for JMM IMO. His power is topnotch stopping both Casamayor and Juan Diaz. Chin and heart the only fighter that did not wilt against PAC. Counterpunching ability punished PAC for every mistake he made. In short JMM gave hell to our P4P Superhero:) He will probably give hell to PBF too.

By the way I'll be rooting for JMM on this one.

Re: Marquez Does Have A Few Things In His Favor
I think PBF wins a yawner. I think he does everything possible not to really engage with JMM just box and move ad nauseum on the way to an uneventful decision.

Re: Marquez Does Have A Few Things In His Favor
I consider this fight as a tune-up fight for PBF mainly due to fact that it's PBF's 1st fight after a year and a half in retirement, PBF will be the heavy favorite and PBF has all the advantages in this fight... PBF is expected to win this one...
Some intangibles tho goes to JMM like heart and fighting spirit...

When does PBF gave you an exciting fight? I slept during PBF-Baldomir and only awaken by the BOO from the crowd in the last rounds...;)
JMM is also mainly a counter-puncher so this has really a making of a boring fight...

Well to be fair he had some good ones earlier in his career, like the beating he put on Manfredy, the fast paced chess match with Agustus; hell I thoroughly enjoyed his fight with Zab 'SuperBoob" Judah. At his lighter weights he was fun to watch, imo.

Re: Marquez Does Have A Few Things In His Favor
I think your right Boom.A fight to make Mayweather look good,but also to tie him into and leading up to a Pacquiao fight.I honestly think he is a tad envious of Mannys major attraction and standing on his pedestal as far as p4p.
I just dont see Marquez as the counter punching mechanic he was just a few years back.He if fighting much more aggressively taking more damage with the years and weight,but reaping the rewards on guile,experience and tenacity.No way in hell will he back down or lay down for Mayweather,but I can see him taking shots that wont necessarily hurt him but pizz him off and drive him forward.He will punch straighter and more often than many Mayweather has faced as of late,but Floyd will capitalize big time on those counters...and then back/slide off.Then again,maybe Floyd will get tagged and get pizzed,engage an adversary and not get that 'oh my god' grimace face on his mug as he backs to ropes,glove glued to face, for once.Doubt it.

True but still the Judah fight was exciting and really the last Mayweather fight I did enjoy. Well Ricky getting ping-ponged off th ring post was funny but I'll leave that one alone at this time;D
Anyways, if you haven't seen his fights withEmmanuel Augustus you should watch it. I thought it was great; or Manfredy or Corrales and Chavez; good fights. Anything is exciting next to the Baldomir fight;D

Re: Marquez Does Have A Few Things In His Favor
While I see the logic of thinking this could be a bore fest, there are reasons it might not be: 1) as has been said, PBF wants to look good. If he wants to generate interest in a super fight with PAC, one of his take no damage technical showcases doesn't make the most sense for him. I think he'll be motivated to engage, especially since he's the bigger man. 2) Marquez was able to lure Casamayor into being the aggressor even though he himself likes to counter. He seemed to be able to do this by backing just outside of Casamayor's range and then alternating between coming in and beating him to the punch or feinting and countering.
Not that he will be able to do that to Mayweather, as PBF is a master at getting the fight to be fought his way, but Marquez has shown a great ability to do that as well. The point is that two counter punchers can have an exciting fight.
Couple of things that bode well for Marquez are: 1)that like PAC, he seems to take his power up with him. 2) PBF's inactivity.
Has the weight been settled on? If I were Marquez, I would scratch and claw for every pound I could get under 145. I think Marquez should at least try jumping on PBF early to try to take advantage of any rust. Although, Marquez seems to start pretty slow. Maybe that's another reason PBF thinks it's a good fight for him?
My heart is with Marquez, and I think he has a chance, but especially if the fight is at 144, I have to favor PBF by decision.

Any little way to take a stab at JMM and downgrade him from his stature.
Pac is #1 P4P and until he is beaten he will remain #1 isn't that enough now for Pac fans to be at ease and just move on and be a bit more neutral?
You would think right, but no. The initials JMM, or the name Marquez is such a big threat that any opp. to belittle him and push him away from Pacs P4P place is taken and pushed to the fullest.
JMM a tune up fight.
So in turn you are saying that if Pac faces SSM or Cotto they will be tune up fights for Pac?
Boxer (cause you really don't deserve to be called the 1st part of your name) you have for now fallen back into my troll list.

Sorry who is faster than Floyd that he has foughten? Pacquiao is fast, but Mayweather is a little faster because he has the same handspeed, but he isn't out of position after he throws something, nor are there openings which IMO means he is taking speed off to maintain perfect coordination.

I clearly stated why I consider this a tune-up fight... It maybe weird having the no. 2 P4P boxer as a tune-up fight but that's my opinion for this fight...
- 1st fight after a long layoff is usually considered a tune-up fight...
- PBF open up as a solid -380 favorite, it's almost a 4 to 1 favorite. You are a heavy favorite in your tune-up fight...
- I consider PBF having all the advantages, does JMM has any advantage? You choose your tune-up opponent where you have all the advantages and expected to win your tune-up fight...
Regarding PAC facing SSM or Cotto, I didn't say anything that it will be a tune-up... One thing is sure tho, PAC will always have at least 1 advantage over these boxers...
.
-
Re: Marquez Does Have A Few Things In His Favor
I consider Tyson: McNeely a tune up fight.
I consider Hatton: Lazcano a tune up fight.
I consider Cotto: Jennings a tune up fight.
Like Mick is saying, this is a little bit more than a tune up fight. PBF is playing all the cards in terms of making sure he has the advantages, but fighting JMM is no mere tune up.
Marquez has his back to the wall in this, but I really hope he manages to shock the world. I'm not making any predictions though because Bilbo says I'm the new Teddy Atlas, so I will stay away from that...:(:p

Re: Marquez Does Have A Few Things In His Favor
It's my principle not to totally write off a boxer... I've given Hatton 1% chance to defeat PAC when the odds of that fight was almost 3 to 1 in favor of PAC...
PBF is enjoying an almost 4 to 1 favorite status and I give JMM 1% chance of winning...
I don't think JMM can outsmart, overpower, or outbox PBF... They're similar in style that mainly focuses on counterpunching... PBF is a faster, bigger and better version of JMM...
It's a tune-up fight for me... but who knows, there were upsets that happened in tune-up fights...

Re: Marquez Does Have A Few Things In His Favor
I give credit to Floyd for taking this fight. I see him winning by UD, but think JMM is a legitimate threat.
Floyd is most entertaining fighting at 140 or under. He's not a true welter IMO and should the fight the best at 140 or stay retire.
I don't think it will be a boring fight because Floyd feels like, and is, the slightly bigger man. When he has the size advantage he actually walks/side-skips down his opponent instead of running like he does against the bigger guys.
I think Floyd wins but i think his overconfidence will get him uglied up doing it.

If JMM beats Mayweather, it will only be a minor upset in my eyes, not a huge one by any means.
As you have seen yourself, JMM is incredibly smart and knows how to find a way to win any fight. Floyd has weaknesses also. Last going off he has become more lazy in the ring and more defensive instead of offensive. He was able to let Ricky pound on his gloves for a few rounds to tire him out, but JMM will find a way to break through his defense. I have no question in my mind about that.
JMM will have to somehow make Floyd's counters miss in this fight to win it though. Floyd is bigger than him and will most likely have enough power to hurt JMM and cut him up.
If Floyd does win this, it will be hard fought. I have no question in my mind about that. If he comes in taking JMM lightly at all, he will lose.
-Does Floyd still have that desire that he used to?
-Does Floyd still have the reflexes that he used to?
-Does Floyd still have the heart to continue fighting if JMM hurts him?
To me those are the real questions surrounding the fight. I know that even going up in weight that JMM will still bring most of his game.

Other than Oscar, when has PBF fought bigger guys? Guys with 2-3 inches of height and reach on him and that come into the ring weighing more. It's not a rhetorical question. I'm curious as to when.
PBF has every advantage in this fight. I don't see how JMM wins. 4-1 odds are fair. JMM deserves the coin. He'll finally be paid super elite fighter money. Good for him.

Re: Marquez Does Have A Few Things In His Favor
I posted a topic more or less about these issues concerning the PBF and JMM fight, strangely, it get deleted, and I say strangely because it didn't contain anything scornful or vindicative. The thing that worries me about this fight is that I fear that the attraction of a potential PBF-PAcman will lure the judges to favor PBF for the rounds that might be tight, which would totally be unfair for a guy who's been overlooked and avoided as often as possible. Now, something that I would love to know (as I stated before in the deleted thread): What kind of ring size will they use and what kind of gloves? Winning gloves that will neutralize a part of JMM's strenght advantage to the profit of Floyd? An overzize ring that will allow PbF to dance anf to give as space as possible to avoid the fight or something more reasonable? Anybody has infos about these crucial details?

No, a tune up fight is vs a guy that has almost no possibility in winning at all. Remember David Diaz vs Pac? That is a tune-up fight. Floyd fighting the guy that "beat" Pac twice doesn't sound much like a tune-up to me.

I guess if anybody can step right back into form after over 1.5 years since their last fight, it will be PBF. Still historically, ring rust effects boxers who use their reflexes and skill, much more than power punchers. Then again, PBF enjoys the size advantage and JMM starts slow, so maybe that balances out in PBF's favor. Still, I think it's a possibility that PBF will try to do things that he used to be able to do, only to be slightly off. At this level, that's all it will take for JMM to capitalize.

Other than both liking to counter punch how are they similar? I see them as totally different fighters. JMM is so very conventional, yet at an elite level, verses PBF's slick and improvisational, although still technically sound, style.

How do you see JMM having the strength advantage?
I think if this fight was at 145 or higher and PBF hadn't had such a long lay off, PBF would just about be a complete no brainer to win. But that's not the case. I still favor him, but those factors in JMM's favor have to be taken into account.

Before OScar gassed? Mayweather was still ahead, and it was more Mayweather actually started throwing punches than just Oscar gassing. Mayweather had that plan in mind the whole time which IMO didn't allow him dominate the way he could have because when he was throwing punches, he was too quick for Oscar to retaliate.
-
Re: Marquez Does Have A Few Things In His Favor
I know we're getting of topic here, but I really believe Oscar's pride ruined his best chance at victory against both PBF and PAC.
Against PBF it looked to me like he didn't want to win with just the jab; which he actually was IMO! I believe he just didn't think it looked good to the fans.
Against PAC he made the stupid and vain decision not to rehydrate. There were a couple of brief moments in the fight where he muscled PAC into the ropes and bullied him. If he hadn't been so vain, he could have used his size more to his favor.
Not that he would've won either of those fights, but I think he was maybe his own worst enemy.

It's entertaining coz of the opponent and PBF was forced to fire back... Took those names out and place JMM and you have 2 boxers waiting for each other on who will throw first... It's a waiting game between 2 counterpunchers...

Floyd had fast hands no question. But, look at his speed at around the weight this fight will take place and look at the speed of some of Marquez opponents in the last couple years at the weight he has fought at in the not so long ago past. Pacman at 125, Pac at 130, Chris John at 125 all at least a fast as Floyd at 140-145 based on his recent performances. Even an old Casa had comparable speed to the Floyd of today. I know many people are gonna jump on me for saying this, but Floyd is nowhere near as fast as he once was, primarily because of the weight. And of course, p4p Floyd is much faster than John but thats not relevant. Floyd is fast for his weight. Pac is one of the only fighters ive seen maintain speed as he went up. But, this isnt about him so ill get back to the point. JMM can handle his speed. Its his power, size, and style that I worry about.

sorry I saw no domination or speed advantage (punch speed that is) I saw Oscar neutralise Floyd and then tank in the later rounds allowing Mayweather in the fight. If fighter A stops punching it allows fighter B to throw.
Would have been closer and equally controversial as the Mosely fights if he hadn't tanked, an issue that's become more apparent as he's got older.
