I don't care whoever wins
The winner should who Pacquiao face next.
If Floyd wins, i hope he would show some class of bringing the fight to Marquez instead of Marquez chasing him all night long.

RIP, Crazy Samurai. Thank you for your Drumming.
Floyd has never run from a smaller man.
I expect him to be right there in the pocket tagging Marquez all night long until the ref or his corner save him in the late rounds.
Marquez is too easy to hit to last the distance with a Floyd determined to put a stamp back on his return. I see him get badly bloodied and marked up in this fight.
Yep but neither Casamayor, Diaz and Pacqiao had any trouble landing on Marquez. And neither fighter is the same class as Floyd. Casamayor is finished at the highest level and Diaz had already been broken by an old Nate Campbell who has hardly shone since that win, barely getting by little known Ali Funeka and getting dominated against Tim Bradley before escaping on a No Contest decision.
Marquez is a great boxer but far too easy to hit for someone like Floyd. I expect Floyd to put on a master show and be the first to stop Marquez.
Marquez is slowing. Casamayor has been on the slide for years and he managed to fight competitively with him and land for a while, Diaz was all over him early and both Barrera and Manny floored him.
If they Marquez and Floyd were both the same size Floyd would still have the edge but with the size difference as well Marquez doesn't have much of a realistic shot at all imo.
I can imagine Floyd standing there right in front of him in the later rounds avoiding everything and teeing off with his own shots.
Marquez is seriously overmatched imo.

If Floyd wasn't so much bigger, I would give Marquez a really good chance (based on Floyd being out of the ring for so long) But Floyd is just too big

Okay time for some random ramblings...
I totally agree that a Mayweather win is a forgone conclusion. However, I think (as Killersheep kinda said on another thread) that Marquez does have the tools to force Mayweather to open up.
I like Marquez' footork & aggressive counter punching. I think it will do well to subdue Mayweather's tendency to dominate through Pot-Shoting.
I also really believe that Mayweather will be a little rusty and that his timing will be off. I don't see the lead rights being a beneficial factor for Mayweather.
Marquez really needs to get at Mayweather. Be in range without getting too physical (if that's possible)
He basically needs to do what he did to Pacquiao but in both a forward & reverse gear. Keep on the crest of that Wave and DON'T fall off!
Mayaweather's strength will be far superior when they get to bump heads so i feel the fight will be lost once Marquez (sadly) looses the stomach once Floyd really gets back at him.

Al Bernstein said it, Teddy Altas said it, I'm gonna say it...
Marquez needs to "beat that drum" and make Mayweather's old rusty self eat some soft ribs.
"Floyd needs to inject Xylocaine into his balls to gain the courage to fight Pacquiao."
