Mayweather will attempt to KO Marquez

[Taeth]

Can he do it? I dont know, but I def. think Floyd is going to come out swinging and feeling like the bigger man trying to push the smaller Marquez around to try to get an early KO and re-establish himself in the P4P race.

If this does happen it will be JMM's biggest oppurtunity to win rounds an sail to win a SD, but also the biggest risk in getting caught himself, Juan gets up and has lots of heart but he does get caught, and now he will be caught by a bigger maybe faster Mayweather.

Juan has to have lots of courage and heart to stand up in the first 5 rounds which will be his heardest but if he take 3 out of those rounds he can win a decision.

Either way, cant wait...This may surprise us, it could be Fight of the year.

Floyd never comes out swinging. Against a cagey fighter like Marquez, I think he'll force Marquez to be the aggressor and attempt to counter punch the counter puncher. After 2 years out, no way do I see Floyd coming out swinging.

Floyd has come out swinging plenty of times, I don't think he will, but the more this is a war IMO the worse it is for Marquez because Mayweather stays so sharp late in fights, he is still sharp even when he is throwing down, and he will getting hit a lot less than MArquez.

[El Kabong]

If it's there he'll take it....why would Floyd want it to last long? Manny Pacquiao just 1 upped Floyd vs De la Hoya AND Hatton. I do think Floyd will be careful because JMM is a dangerously smart fighter...who cares if he's fighting out of his weight class, JMM and his trainer will be prepared for that.

[Spicoli]

I hope so.Been thinking about him possibly being a little over confident,cough...more so than usual.With the size,fresher of the two and recieving a bit of a backlash in some media.He might just step in off some fast connects and go for it all...,make a statement w/Manny being in the back of his mind.

Marquez will be there,hes not going anywhere,and will sit down in between some flurries he hopes.Thinking Mayweather runs a better chance of cutting Marquez up resulting in a TKO rather than a clean KO.

[Bukom Battler]

Can anybody mention a Floyd fight where he has come out the aggressor. From what I have seen of him he will move, pot shot, break his opponent down and as he sees/ feels them get weaker he will then start to step it up.

If this goes how I think it will Floyd will get a UD with the last few rounds seeing Marquez hit more and hurt, maybe even late TKO

[Chino]

I can imagine Floyd will either try to KO Marquez or totally dominate him so he can send the message to Pac "Look at how easily I disposed of the guy who beat you twice in the eyes of many boxing experts, commentators, and boxers" just like Pac sent a message to Floyd by beating Hatton faster.

I think this will be the likely thought process of Mayweather...he has to to prove he is the best...the question is can he?

When? I can't recall a time he has come out the more aggressive fighter. He is never so careless as to come out swinging.

[jon09]

He said the same thing when he fought Oscar and we see how that went. It will be a typical Floyd fight with him winning a comfortable decision.

It depends what you consider swinging, but against Phillip N'Dou, Burton, Sosa, Gatti, G. Hernandez, plenty of guys earlier on in his career.

[killersheep]

What Mayweather means when he says that is:

"I'm going to give away around or two and then dial everything in and cruise to a wide victory on the scorecards."

Mayweather fights the style necessary to beat whomever he is fighting. If he knows he can't impose his will or beat them by slugging he won't do it. But if its someone he can impose on he will. He is a fighter who has an uncanny ability to adapt.

Marquez will not be KO'ed

[XaduBoxer]

I highly doubt PBF will try to KO JMM specially in the early rounds... PBF is a play safe defensive master... He's too careful not to get hit... Maybe PBF will go at it in the late rounds if he has much success potshotting JMM from range in the earlier rounds which PBF can easily do since he has a 5" reach advantage over JMM and he has very good timing and accuracy too...

If this goes to a decision, it's highly probable that JMM will lose in this fight... JMM's style is not judge friendly that's why he lost mostly all his close fights and then called them robberies... JMM's chance to win is by knocking out PBF which is a very difficult task...

[Pavlik]

Knockdown maybe, kayo NOT. I don't see Marquez being worn out late in the fight or getting stupidly caught by a single punch from PBF either unless Mayweather fights a Juan Diaz pace. This fight will be as close as PAC vs JMM encounters. Like I said before PBF is lucky that JMM is naturally smaller than him.

Marquez will not be KO'ed

I think he will in this one VD. Hoping I'm wrong but he is only human.
