Floyd Mayweather Jr. Would Beat Juan Manuel Marquez EASILY

[XaduBoxer]

The article in the 1st post of this thread mentioned that possibly it will be at 143 lbs.... (you didn't read the article thoroughly mate?)...
.

YOu can't say mate to Miles just because he is Korean.

I actually didn't read the article, my fault.

That's right. You should say 친구 (chingu) to me, Saddoboxer. Because Booze thinks I am Korean.

I know you have some Korean connection (you PM'ed it to me one time) but "miles" sounds very English to me...

안녕 마일 ...

I'm English, but you are otherwise right. Yep, I cannot belittle the appearance of the lady folk. Though way too many of them have gone under the knife.

In some parts of Asia that often can take on two seperate meanings.

No Tune-up Necessary: Mayweather-Marquez Makes Sense Now

By Kelsey McCarson:

If rumors of Floyd Mayweather’s return to the ring this summer are true, it is a true shot in the arm to the boxing world. Love him or hate him, Mayweather is the best, flashiest and most intriguing fighter in the sport today. His return will immediately garner mainstream interest and appeal.

Boxing needs more Floyd Mayweathers.

Unfortunately, fighters of Mayweather’s caliber only come around once in a generation. He is a rare breed: as skilled and talented as they come with speed and power to boot. He’s the fighter other champions measure themselves against and automatically the pound for pound king when he officially announces his return.

Various reports have Mayweather’s team lining up a comeback fight for sometime in June or July. Most writers are predicting a comeback fight against a b-level opponent.. After all, Mayweather hasn’t fought in 15 months and most fighters returning to the ring after a long layoffs tend need to get a couple rounds under their belts to get things back in order.

This is not the case for Floyd Mayweather. Why? Because Floyd Mayweather is not most fighters. Next to Mayweather’s impressive array of prowess, all other fighters are b-level. Sure, I don’t expect Mayweather to fight a naturally bigger man in a superfight his first fight back. He doesn’t need to step into the ring against Miguel Cotto or Shane Mosley just yet, but there is no reason for Floyd not to step in the ring against Juan Manuel Marquez right now.

Sure, Marquez is a brilliant boxer, a true warrior and an all-time great, but what’s he going to do against Floyd? Outbox him? Overpower him? Outthink him?

No, no and no.

Without question, there is no reason for Floyd Mayweather to fight a traditional tune-up. Juan Manuel Marquez is a big name, a great fighter and isn’t currently scheduled to fight anyone else. It’d be a great fight for boxing fans, be internationally appealing to the masses and be a sure win for Mayweather both inside the ring and out.

So don’t do it, Floyd. Don’t be average. You want to be an all-time great, maybe the all-time great? Then comeback and fight big fights and name opponents. Start with Juan Manuel Marquez. Fight the winner of the Hatton-Pacquiao fight. Give Shane Mosley a shot and box the winner of Cotto-Clottey. Step up against the best and be the best. You’re Floyd Mayweather: no tune-up is necessary.

I think lot of people would agree with the thread title.

Some say JMM is the small version of PBF. Now do the math (more like physics).

[Taeth]

Looking at Mayweather vs De La Hoya, and how sharp Marquez has been against Pacquiao, I can't see Marquez being totally blown away, I think if Marquez applied intelligent pressure like Oscar did, and kept Mayweather on the ropes, whether he was landing or not he would be scoring points for aggression. I just don't think Mayweather will let Marquez dictate the pace if he can, that being said Marquez threw a ton of punches against Juan Diaz, and I am not sure if Mayweather is willing to take a shot to land a shot in order to impose his will on Marquez.

As for Marquez being a small Mayweather? How exactly? Besides being technically sound all round fighters they are totally different. Marquez is an offense first fighter who can throw a lot of punches and doesn't like being bullied around, he is your quintessential mexican tactical fihgter. Mayweather on the other hand is your quintessential african american flashy fighter, he utilizes speed, footwork, and defensive skills to not get hit, and he leaps in with punches, pot shots, keeps distance with the jab.

Now look at Marquez against Chris John and reapply your logic of Marquez vs Mayweather! Then what do you see?

I think Marquez has every right to be considered 1a and 1b with Pacquiao in terms of PFP status, but when you look at matchups, I think Marquez would have a much, much tougher time beating Floyd than Pacquiao would.

I'd make Floyd a favorite over both of them, but a much bigger favorite against Marquez than against Pacquiao.

Same assessment here... PBF is the favorite against any of these 3 and IMO below is the order on who gives the tougher fight to PBF:

1. PAC
2. JMM
3. Hatton

I am as English as one can be. I do live in Korea though. Booze is just in denial about my ethnicity.

Pretty decent attempt with the Korean there, Saddoboxer!! I find it a nightmare to type Korean. It takes so long to find all the letters!
