Marquez Does Have A Few Things In His Favor

[Myk_Myk]

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 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.

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...

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.

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?

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.
