    Default Re: Who is more accurate and faster?: The case of Mayweather vs Marquez

    I think if they were equal size, which they almost are, I would say Mayweather's speed would play a larger factor, IMO Marquez being smaller is only an advantage for him because he will proportionally faster.

    Also IMO Oscar's jab didn't trouble Mayweather that much, he really wasn't able to land it effectively all night, and Mayweather countered it plenty of times and landed his own jab more, and even though Marquez is a superior boxer to Oscar, he will never have a jab like Oscar's, not as hard(even p4p) not as long, not as accurate.

    Marquez was able to counter Pacquiao because Pacquiao is out of position a lot, and MArquez is an extremely aggressive counter puncher, also he used a lot of footwork that really bothered Pacquiao, he really messed with Manny's distance which is of the greatest importance for Pacquiao to get off punches effectively.

    I don't think Marquez will be weighing 10 more pounds than he ever has, he usually comes in slighly over 140, which is what Mayweather weighed when he fought at 135. I think their weights will be relatively similar, their size won't be drastically different. I am guessing Mayweather will weigh only as much more than Marquez as Pacquiao did in their second fight.

    How did Mayweather hardly take advantage of Hatton's lack of head movement? How many flush right hands did he land? Or check left hooks? Hatton did alright, but he wasn't able to land anything, Mayweather defended against what he threw and countered off the ropes well. Obviously Manny beat Hatton faster, but Mayweather beat Hatton without losing a round as well. Regardless the most important fact of Mayweather vs Marquez and Pacquiao vs Marquez is that Mayweather gets off faster than Pacquiao, their speed might be even, and Pacquiao might be faster once he gets his punches going in combinations, but Mayweather gets off faster which means he can land a jab or right hand faster than Pacquiao can land anything, it might not be as hard, but it will get there faster, and Mayweather doesn't have to get out of position to deliver with that sort of speed whereas Pacquiao needs to sacrific balance to throw his punches which is what Marquez could capitalize on.
