I agree, but I think Floyd should respect Marquez's power, he's been stopping tough guys. Also Marquez is really fast, not quite Pacquiao or Mayweather speed, but he's just a knotch slower, and if he puts in a high work rate like we saw Calzaghe do against Roy JOnes Jr, Mayweather might not be able to get off at all. That being said, for all his defensiveness, if you look back at Mayweather in the lower weights even 140, he doesn't mind banging, he isn't a pussy in the ring, and he doesn't mind trading shots.

I don't know why people aren't excited for this fight, the overall skill level that is going into be in that ring is probably higher than anything we've seen in a long, long time. I'm thinking the 80's welterweight matchups. The only other one that comes to mind is Roy Jones Jr- Hopkins, but that was too early in their career.
