    Marquez shouldn't be worried about what Mayweather would or wouldn't do to Manny.

    JMM is getting English down pretty well. It's unfortunate that more great Mexican fighters don't. Little Ricardo Lopez could have made millions more if he had learned English--not that they should have to do so, mind you; it's just that so much of the paying demographic speaks English, and likes to hear them directly without a translator.
    If one bases their career on being the voice of a culture, i.e. Duran for Panama or Julio Chavez sr. for Mexico, then this may not apply.
    However, on the main, it is a great marketing strategy to be able to talk directly to the largest chunk of ppv buyers without translation

    Marquez does quite well with the english but for some reason i expected pac to be better.

    If I may ask a question to you all:

    Let's say Mayweather fights Manny and win. Would this mean that he is the better or that his style suits him better to deal with an aggressive opponent? Styles do make fights. Frazier wasn't the greatest but he beat Ali.

    I think it would of course be a mark of pride if one wins over the other but to say that the victor is superior wouldn't quite reflect the realities of boxing. Chavez was a damn great boxer but sweet pete spanked him, it takes nothing away from him.

    Pac could have made it interesting a couple of years ago but now he would be countered silly by Floyd. Shame.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    It is a shame. But the same result would have prevailed.

    Floyd and manny can fight till there 40!

    Thats two fights a year and millions in the bank..they wont make that money anywhere else.

    Manny wont last that long as he has no plan b in the ring..he cant adapt.

    The thing about pac is that you cant dislike him as a person.

    Floyd can divide opinions..

    Lets look at the advantages and disadvatages of each fighter:-

    Pac:-

    More powerful

    Same speed?
    Same stamina?

    Floyd:-

    Better defensive
    Better boxer
    Better accuracy
    Better chin
    Better reach
    Better footwork
    Better reflexes
    Better resistance to cuts

    Same speed?
    Same stamina?

    Without even being too biased to floyd this was easy.

    Please dicuss.

    Dont go quiet on me rantcatrat.

    Also, whether pac took peds or not the size of his head has increased by at least a fifth which is another disadvantage for floyd to exploit

    Outstanding question. Frazier was able to outwork Ali when Muhammad stopped moving. Ali was a runner, as a style, and Smokin' Joe fits the definition of what legendary trainer Kenny Weldon call a "fighter," meaning a pressure guy with good coordination between hands and feet who can force most movers out of their own rhythm over time.
    Marquez is a stationary counter-fighter, while Floyd is a mobile counter fighter. All counter fighters are made to pick apart aggressive onrushing fighters.
    In the book Money Boxing that comes out this week, style are broken down into a simple comparison of the child's game paper-rock-scissors.
    In the book, a mobile counterpuncher beats a stationary one, which is what happened in the Mayweather-Marquez fight.
    Mayweather likes to control distance and space, as his style dictates.
    The tactical problem comes in when he is facing an opponent who advances faster than he is capable of retreating. Things get messy when that happens, style advantage or no.

    ...we'll find out as soon as he stops duckin'...
    Once in awhile, get outside in fresh air, take a deep breath & with a deep sigh, let out all the things that's bottled up inside you & be free, & you'll get a glimpse of nirvana.
