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

[JT Rock]

Said it before but I think this is a prime example of Mayweathers tip toeing throw the tulips and cherry picking on what he percieves to be an easy mark.Dont get me wrong,Marquez is no flower and certainly is no cherry....he's also not a 140 + fighter who can retain his peak form at that weighty range with added years Imo.

I think this strictly boils down to Mayweather feeling as though Pacquiao has blazed past him in the spotlight and is looking to achieve some familiarity relating to Manny ventured against a key Nemesis and reclaim his throne in the mythical p4p ranks.All the while looking ahead to a mega showdown with the new cash cow Pacquiao.

As far as punching,speed etc.Think JMM will be a bit stiff here,packed too tight with that weight,movement heavy a foot but I think Marquez is def the more precise and willing puncher shot for shot.He focuses on one or two punches once he zeros in on a guys holes in their armor.As of late,he looks to be sitting more in the pocket but remains a sharpshooter over and under,while taking a bit more in return.He is a kingpin at capitalizing on his round to round progression/momentum & looks to press his advantages where as Mayweather is content to flurrie with better blazing hand speed,make an impact and then move out,admires his work...looks to reset off backfoot....almost punches from the backseat.He'll come in and bomb,the Ndou fight springs up,but its not in his nature.. much more content to score points unless he is in absolute obvious pot shot at will control most of the time.In this one,I think he needs to look explosive and potent...that slip & slide-countering-look great another day attitude has worn a bit thin.

How can you fault the man for always beating his opponent comprehensively?

Floyd doesn't cherry pick IMO, I think he just picks certain fights at certain times that make them the biggest fight possible.

Was there a better moment for him to face Judah(well obviously before Baldomir beat him), or Baldomir or Oscar or Hatton? Mayweather has picked his opponents based on timing not cherry picking IMO, I think he would fight anyone under the right circumstances and thats what he says.

Because people don't like to pay money to watch a snooze fest!

floyd has the speed
jmm has the accuracy

but when they fight each other floyd will have both and jmm wont be so accurate against floyds tight defense.
