Anytbody else thinks Mayweather stops Marquez ?

[JazMerkin]

I've had this feeling for about a month Floyd stops him late on.

I just think the weight will be too big of a jump for Marquez and he has been hurt several times before by fighters that aren't as good as Floyd. Mayweather just hits so accurate and I can see all them shots taking there toll on Marquez.

Also Mayweather wants to prove a point, he wants to be back with a bang. Everybody is high on Pacquiao right now. Come Saturday that is going to change, Floyd will make it change.

I'm going to the bookies later to put money on a Floyd stoppage.

I think he can, but whether he will or not I don't know. Floyd isn't a big hitter & wears gloves that restrict this further, so a decision is more likely. I think he might stop Marquez based on the fact Diaz hurt Marquez a few times & Mayweather definitely hits harder than him.

He isnt't a big hitter no. But the accumulation and speed of his punches just wears you down.

i think the favourite outcome is indeed a late mayweather stoppage

this wont be a hatton-pac blowout as floyd likes to get a feel of the fight before he takes control. Marquez has to dominate early on and worry floyd hoping that eventually mayweather begins to trade more which will suit JMM down to the ground.

But floyd is just so good at countering with his own unique flurrys everytime marq will try and come in and land a few floyds gonna be catching him square on the chin.

mayweather in 10-12 seems to be the obvious conclusion

[OumaFan]

I think its possible and have leaned that way at times during the buildup but I look at it like this, the guy's never been stopped. I have a bit of a hard time predicting a stoppage cause of that. He's been hurt but never stopped and he recovers quickly and always knows what to do when hurt because he's been hurt before. Heart, smarts, and good recuperative powers. While Floyd's a good finisher cause of his speed he's not a throw caution to the wind type and if he does come out looking for a KO that could possibly get him into trouble.

the general concensous is that it`ll be a hatton esque slow, pre-planned destruction of marquez

no he wont come out blazing....but if the moment is their later on in the fight and JMMs legs start to go then naturally floyd is gonna look to finish him off!!

I think one of the reasons Floyd chose him is because he thinks he can stop him. It will get one up on Pac, which will bode well for him in their fight.

I agree, I think he plans to 1 up Pac by sparking JMM or comprehensively outbox him to leave little doubt or controversy. I am anticipating a 12 round chess match that I will enjoy, but a stoppage would be fantastic and a surprise.

I have been salivating for 5 years waiting to see another destruction like that of Gatti, because Floyd is that good when he opens up. I know JMM is far from Gatti but Floyd is really dynamic and capable.

I like to think Floyd got those huge paydays(Baldo, DLH, Hatton) and protected his 0 enough, now I think he wants to storm through JMM and open up more when he faces Pac, Mosley or Cotto

I think he NEEDS to stop him to make a statement.

If he beats Marquez anything like he beat Gatti then it's 100% certain Marquez was way too small for the weight. He's far too good to get beaten like that by anyone.

I like this fight because they are two great fighters, but Floyd has a serious size advantage. If they were level weights Floyd would still be the favourite yet Marquez is basically giving him 10 pounds.

Still.. you never know

I'm on the flip side for this one.

Mayweather is about looking good and desperately wants to look good against Marquez so he will be in a better position in viewer's eyes for match ups against who ever and that P4P status as well as on the bargaining table. It's all about the Money for Mayweather. To do that he has to out class Marquez with speed and accuracy and knock him out. That desire and sense of urgency will cause Mayweather to take risks. Against Marquez this is a dangerous attitude to have.

Now, I don't think Mayweather will underestimate Marquez when he starts getting hit so it's a pretty fair bet he won't make change ups to his style like Sugar Ray Leonard did with Roberto Duran and stand flat footed. He'll abandoned any notion of knocking out Marquez and revert to his traditional style to beat him on points without getting hit.

What I predict is Marquez is going to out work Mayweather and even though Mayweather has a high connect percentage, he won't out connect Marquez. Marquez wins a UD or SD. We might see some desperation in the last two or three rounds in Mayweather's corner and that will be the only time we might see the fight as less of a chess match.

[littlebif]

I think Mayweather punishes Marquez more and more as the fight goes on and his corner pull him out around 9/10 round.

Marquez is gonna struggle with Floyds accuracy he wont get to many chances to counter Floyd cause he isnt gonna miss you that often.

[the inbetweener]

I dunno, I just don't see PBF stopping Marquez. Floyd is a measured, methodical fighter who won't go storming in; it took him 10 rounds to finish Hatton. Now, Marquez won't hang his chin out half as much as Hatton and both may be cautious for the first few rounds.

As much as it pains in to say it, I think the size disparity will cause PBF to win a comfortable UD but I hope Marquez can at least hurt him once.

[El Kabong]

Mayweather may very well do a number on JMM, but JMM will never be out of the fight and may perhaps come from behind to win this. I think as smart and as tough as JMM is and with him coming UP in weight and Floyd going DOWN in weight, I wouldn't be surprised if JMM sparked Floyd out!

JMM may go down early and often, but he'll be around at the finish!

We could see a couple different outcomes of this fight, some mirroring the following (in bold are the ones I think are most likely):

Chavez-Taylor
Chavez-Mayweather
Chavez-Whittaker
Mayweather-Castillo I or II
Mayweather-Hatton
Mayweather-De la Hoya
Mayweather-Corrales
