    I think it will, jmm is a great fighter, i just think he has way too many disadvantages in this fight. It just doesn't seem like it's on an even playing field from the begining. I feel the same way about all of floyds opponets at least right now, they all "can" beat floyd but none of them will. Floyd's biggest advantage has nothing to do with size or speed or power, it's how smart he is in the ring. We're all being set up my friends, but i will say i've always thought floyd will loose one day, when he starts fighting cause he has to not when he wants too so now maybe the time. We'll see i guess. So many other people i'd rather see him fight though. Someone his own size for starters or at the very least someone just as fast, jmm smaller and i think he'll still be a lot slower.

    One thing is for sure, JMM, will definately be pressing the fight. In an agressive, but smart fashion. Floyd on the other hand, will be Floyd like always. He will drop his left hand down, roll his shoulders, use every tiny inch of the ring, and he will bore us to death with his Ali like style. Id rather see a rematch with JMM and Pacquiao.

    mayweather will look to attack on the back foot and fight him on the outside, on the other hand JMM is not too bad a counter puncher and will look to utilise that.

    I see this fight 100% lasting the pace and going the full 12, my prediction a marquez win on points!!
    one dangerous horrible bloke

    I could actually see Floyd leading in this fight, probably it will be Marquez coming forward, but don't be surprised if you see Floyd stand his ground and use in and out movement to confound Marquez. They both have great jabs, but Floyd's is longer, harder, and faster. I see Floyd controlling the fight enough that it won't be super exciting, but still a fascinating matchup, kind of like Mayweather- De La Hoya, maybe not a barn burner, but definitely an exciting fight. The difference IMO is that they will likely mix it up more, and there will be a higher element of skill involved in this fight.

    If Marquez tries to engage Mayweather and make him fight then he is gonna lose horribly because it's not his game.

    This fight with be both fighters looking to counter the other. marquez is at his best when he doesn't have to chase someone and lets them come to him.

    Marquez is a lot like Alexis Arguello, its nearly impossible to beat him when bulling in, but it's hard for him to deal with a boxer. He can win against boxers, but its not when he is the most effective. Mayweather will box with him and that will give Marquez trouble.
