Circumstaces Aside, JMM is the Best Fighter Mayweather Will Have Fought

[skel1983]

Although I favor Mayweather to win, I think it should be noted that he has never fought anyone as good as Marquez. I know some people will say that Oscar was a better fighter, but at that point he was a part time fighter and that fight was a glorified sparring session imo. JMM is a full time fighter and based on his last few performances, is still near his prime, or at least closer than Oscar was. JMM is better boxer than Castillo, Corrales, and Hatton imo and at the end of his career I suspect he will rank higher in the history books than those warriors. I think Mayweather will win because of the weight advantage, but it will still be interesting to see how Mayweather deals with the skills of Marquez.

Id say Marquez p4p is the best fighter he would of fought but at 147? Not to sure, i think Dela Hoya at 154 was and will be a harder fight, Marquez at 135 had his hands full with dont get me wrong two great fighters in Cassamayor and Diaz but i just cant see him beating Mayweather at 147.

Skel I think at 147, although he is at a huge disadvantage, will still give him more trouble than Oscar at 154 especially in the middle rounds. But I could easily be wrong. It all depends on how he carries the weight and if his speed is intact. I still see this fight as a size mismatch, but not a skill mismatch by any means. It will be a case of good big fighter beating the good small fighter. The Oscar fight although close, neither fighter was ever too uncomfortable or in any kind of real danger. Marquez will make him earn the victory and give 100%.

I think weight being considered and everything Marquez is definitely the best guy Mayweather has ever faced, speed IMO is the most dangerous thing against MAyweather because you can't land without it on him, and Oscar wasn't quick enough to land or react. I think Marquez is so quick and so aggressive as a counter puncher this should be really interesting because everytime Floyd throws something I think Marquez is going to jump on him with combinations.
