Nah, i'll give that a miss. I quite enjoy living in a house.

I'm a big fan of Floyd/Jmm, but this fight is a total mismatch. Floyd's advantages over Marquez are talent, handspeed, footspeed, size, strength, height, youth and possibly reach.

Name me one thing that Marquez has over Floyd? There isn't one, unless you count being more active as one.

Heart. I still favor Floyd - he has entirely too many advantages - but heart is always an X factor in boxing.

I will surely be one to say that Floyd beat up a smaller man because he did. Marquez is fighting a man who fought a 154 at one point and the highest was 135 for Marquez that is a 19 pound difference. Not to mention Mayweather retired and probably walked around at 155 during retirement. Marquez has really nothing in his favor in this fight except the ability to recoop quickly and maybe maybe a slight edge in counterpunching. I sure as shit hope Marquez can pull this is out but my head says no way.

to be technical, floyd weighed 150 during the oscar fight fight.. maybe even less.

Marquez is definitely a "smaller" guy when you look at the weight classes, but I wouldn't say Floyd is extremely significantly more powerfull than JMM..

Jmm knocked Pac down, KO'd Diaz, KO'd Casamayor all at 135..

Hatton was the first guy Floyd KO'd at WW.. someone with no defense.. and the last guy in the past four years..

While an academic point with the weight classes, when you look at reality, the strength difference isn't much of a discrepency.

Either i missed that or ur mistaken.

No way in hell Floyd will stop Juan. At 144, I really think Marquez will have a tougher chin... and Floyd decreases his power.

This is a 70/30 fight but it aint gonna be a walk in the park for BOTH.

70% Mayweather by decision

30% Marquez by KO

he will. you'll realize come fight night the gap in class. as skilled as jmm is.

Just as a fun fact I found the heights of names in the WW division. Some of these guys haven't fought at Welter for a bit, but all have fought there within the last 3 years.
