will JMM-Floyd live up to the hype??

[XaduBoxer]

This fight smells the controversy from here, the hype of a PBF and Pacman is way too high, I am really worried it'll play against JMM in the judges mind. At least, Bad Bob Arum's not behind Floyd anymore and Goldenboy is straight behind JMM, so it might edge that possibility a bit but I deeply worry that the hype of a huge PPV screw something.

I think JMM will lose via wide UD in this boring tuneup fight... PBF can possibly jab his way to victory.... PBF (72") enjoys a 5" reach advantage over JMM (67")....

History also showed JMM's style doesn't impress judges that much... JMM even cried that all his losses (John, PAC, etc.) were robberies and this only confirmed that JMM will not likely get the judges nod in a decision... JMM's style is boring also that of PBF... JMM/PBF were only in exciting fights if the opponent is a come forward exciting puncher boxer...

All indications points to a technical chess match between 2 counterpunchers waiting on who will attack first... Could come out a boring fight...

Before people start crying about Marquez getting gypped lets wait for this fight to actually happen.

I really don't think there is very much hype to this fight. Considering that either one of these guys have an argument to #1 p4p status. It is basically a forgone conclusion that JMM is a tune up for Pac. Even the PBF haters say JMM is too small so most of them even concluded that PBF is the winner. Albeit via excuses such as JMM is too small. Pac just KOed a PBF size fighter and dominated one even bigger. But with PBF he is held to a ridiculously high standard that no one else is. Pac fought at welterweight but he never took on any of the bigger threats such as PWill, Cotto, Margarito, or Mosley but where is his criticism. Roach said that he will not let Pac fight at 147 again. If that was PBF that would be called cherrypicking. I congratulate Pac because he is very impressive in fighting bigger guys but PBF actually fights bigger guys every fight at 147 and 154 and many at 140. Now that he is finally the bigger fighter he is called everything in the book. Nobody remembers when PBF begged for a Mosley fight when Mosley was a fearsome lightweight knocking out everybody. Mosley denied the fight twice and skipped 2 weight classes for DLH. Was Hagler picking on a smaller Leonard? PBF would not be a bigger fighter picking on a smaller one if he was not ultra talented but the last attribute is never admitted by the anti-PBF crowd. If PBF is better in every boxing aspect then in order for that next guy to have a chance he must be bigger. So this fight is an outrage to people who want to see PBF lose. Let JMM have a say. Maybe we'll get an interesting fight.
