Final Predictions: Floyd Mayweather vs. Juan Manuel Marquez

Floyd Mayweather by TKO 8

Kinda hoping for the opposite to happen...but then again i want to see MAYWEATHER vs. PACQUIAO...the built up....24/7...HYPE....everything about it will be HUGE....

but then for that to happen Cotto would have to lose to Pacquiao...and I don't believe thats going to happen....MAYWEATHER vs. COTTO is good..always wanted to see that fight...but for me MAYWEATHER vs. PACQUIAO would be incredible..kinda fight everybody would be looking forward to...not just the hardcore or semi-hardcore...


but whatever....MAYWEATHER by TKO 8..and like i said months ago..and Mayweather is saying now..if he doesn't KO/brutalize/destroyes Marquez it loooks bad.

 

Mayweather by SD.

I hope I'm wrong and Marquez lays his ass out.

 

I'll be cheering for Marquez but i don't think he has a chance. Mayweather by KO in the mid rounds. I'll be a bit surprised if JMM even lasts the distance.

 

Though I am not 100% confident in this prediction and just more want this to happen, but...
Marquez TKO 9

Once Mayweather gets hurt from a punch, its all but over.
At least I am hoping :bears:

 

If the Mayweather's have Done their HOMEWORK On Marquez, they'll Have Floyd Come Out AGGRESSIVELY, Hoping to Catch the NOTORIOUSLY SLOW Staring Marquez SLIPPING...REED Won't Completely Rule Out an EARLY Stoppage for Floyd (2nd or 3rd Round), but REED'll B SAFER in his OFFICIAL PREDICTION...

Marquez CUTS, SWELLS, Gets DROPPED & he's Facing a YOUNGER, STRONGER, TALLER, BIGGER Guy w/As Much or even MORE Skills than he Has...As Such, REED Sees NOfuckingWAY Marquez WINS this Bout...@ Best he'll Show HEART, Put on an ADMIRABLE Performance & Make Floyd Look BAD en Route to Losing a UD...

But REED Thinks Floyd is Looking to Make a STATEMENT Here...He's Gonna PUNISH Marquez & It'll Become a Matter of HOW MUCH Can JM Take OR How Much will Nacho ALLOW him to Take...Regardless, by the 3rd or 4th, Floyd will B FIRMLY in Control & by the 7th or 8th, Marquez will Get STOPPED or Force Nacho to Come to his Rescue...

Floyd TKO 7th or 8th in a Fairly 1-Sided Fight...But like Illuminati Said, if Floyd DOESN'T Stop Marquez, there'll B NO POSITIVE Spin to Place on the Fight...



REED:hammert:

 

mayweather by stoppage in 6 or less

 

I too will be rooting for JMM but I think Mayweather lands too many clean shots for Marquez to make it to the end. I think Mayweather has been genuinely revitalised by his break, and has come back with a point to prove. Unless he encounters serious trouble, he'll be relatively aggressive ....i think he'll stop Marquez in 7 rounds.

 

Mayweather KO9 JMM :bangh:


PBF is winning this but I will keep my fingers crossed for a upsetray:


Damn it would be great if JMM landed a fucking haymaker and ko'd PBF.

 

Floyd by easy decision.

 

Im favoring PBF but I do think JMM will put up a challenge until it lasts.

 

Is JMM really a notoriously slow starter? Based on what? Two fights? He's the type of fighter who builds to a cresendo as the fight wears on he figures his opponent out, but that's not the same thing as being a slow starter. It's not like he has a resounding history of giving away early rounds.

 

I think he is basing it on early round KD's and the last few fights he has had, in this though I will agree with him because his last 6 fights or so have been against elite opposition, so against higher opposition it does take him a few rounds to adapt, and come along better.

 

This one is difficult for me because I fucking hate Mayweather. I absolutely hate the guy. He's an absolute douchebag of the highest order. The whole 'money Mayweather' shit, the bling, the fucking pricks associated with him, the constant retirements, the cherry picking of opponents and refusal to fight any of about half a dozen elite level welters- I hate the guy as much as it is possible for me to hate someone I've never actually met... ::

For all of that, there is no doubting his natural talents. His borderline illegal defence makes him extremely hard to nail. He has tremendous reflexes and ridiculously quick hands and feet. He hits harder than he looks like he does because the angles and timing of his shots mean that they hit opponents generally unawares and it is those shots which hurt the most and concuss the most.

On the flip side, I really like JMM. Always have in fact. The guy has a superb skillset: he picks his punches like no-one else in the game, is quick, powerful and has shown tremendous heart in the past. Without wanting to engage in the traditional game, I thought he won the second Pac fight 114-113- 7-5 with a scored KD to Manny. He's been chorincally underrated for years, and so I was delighted to see him move to 135 and prove himself the best of a loaded division by beating Casa and Diaz and by two stoppages no less. For all that Casa is ancient, stopping him was impressive and I thought he rallied beautifully to pick Diaz apart in the later rounds with some pinpoint combination punching.

IMHO is is clearly at worst the third best P4P fighter on the planet.

The problem is that he is getting on now and he is hittable. These factors, as well as the ridiculous jump in weight to 144 mean that I can't find any way to pick him to beat Floyd. I suppose Floyd might be ring-rusty after his layoff, but Mayweather is rarely out of shape and his style means that stamina and/or fitness are not really live issues so far as I can tell. I don't think he hits hard enough to stop Mayweather and I can't see how he can win a decision based on each other's respective styles and on past evidence of JMM inability to grind out decisions.

For all of that, he'll give Mayweather a tough test I reckon. He's the best fighter Floyd has ever faced, including Oscar and Castillo. IMHO it is his toughest fight by quite a distance. I even think JMM will get better as the fight goes on, because he is a notoriuosly slow starter and takes time to get into the fight and to figure out his opponents style. But I think he loses a wide decision, unless he lands something big when he is on top in the latter rounds.

I'll be willing him on, though...

MTF

 

It's Not a BAD Thing, DOUB, but it's Certainly a TRAIT of Marquez's...Just Because a Guy Starts Slow, that DOESN'T Automatically Mean he has TROUBLE in the Early Portion of All of his Bouts Or Gives Away Early Rounds Every Single Time...Is it a COINCIDENCE that the BULK of the Adversity Marquez has Faced has Occured EARLY in his Bouts???...

Like it Or Not, Marquez DOES START/WARM Up SLOWER than Most Other Elite Fighters...On the Flipside, Marquez is Perhaps THE BEST Current Fighter @ Mid-Fight ADJUSTMENTS...



REED:hammert:

 

That's All REED is Saying...DOUB's Treating it like it's a BAD Thing, but it ISN'T Necessarily...Especially when U Consider Marquez's History of ADJUSTING on the Fly...


REED:hammert:

 

Exactly, I think its a great trait to have, the fact he can adapt when 90% of the fighters cannot says a lot, and he is possibly the best at doing this and easily top 10 of all time at adapting during fights, one of the smartest fighters I have seen.

 

Mayweather UD.

 

Fraud TKO 7 by way of accumulative pots,... too large, too rangey, and Marquez wont hurt him, he'll turn his back away from all the featherweight's soft punches regardless. Fraud is a piece of shit, and I wish he were dead.

 

Mayweather TKO 7 for the same reasons REED stated.

Marquez will show alot of heart and pride and in doing so will take a bad beating and will force either the ref or Nacho to step in and say "No mas"..


Get ready for Mayweather Pacquiao in late 2010.

 

Floyd boring decision.

 

I see a fight where JMM will make an effort to start quickly thus having some early success. However he is 36 which he won't be able to sustain. PBF will go on to pummel JMM in the mid to late rounds. The further he gets behind the more choices he takes will allow PBF to counter and hurt him numerous times. PBF will win in a late round stoppage 9-10 round. I'll Holla 5000

 

Was there a prediction thread for Tyson/Mcneeley? This fight is a TUNE UP and Floyd deserves deserves Zero credit for whatever happens. I am shocked that not only did HBO not turn down this fight but they also did a 24/7 for a tune up.


I love it how you know nothings blasted DLH for fighting Pacman ridiculously saying Pac had no chance and few if no one is outraged by this fight. This is far worse than that fight even before it happened. Unless Floyd injures himself throwing a punch, Urine boy has less then a 5% chance of winning. He is smaller, weaker and less skilled.

Floyd has to dominate and even then who cares. This is a non-fight and a rip off. This fight will be cited as one of the reasons boxing is no longer on tv in the next few years. You have a boring "B side" fighter against a man half his size.Just because HBO does a documentary on this fight doesn't mean it it is credible. For Zeus' sake, Urine Boy was getting whipped by JUAN FUCKING DIAZ YOU stupid assholes!! Wake up!!

 

:bears:


As for my prediction, if Floyd fights like a bitch it's an easy UD, if Floyd fights like a man, he stops Marquez when ever he wants to. I know it's a stretch to think Floyd would actually fight like a man, but Marquez is small enough for Floyd to get brave.

 

::

 

I'm going with Floyd in a mid rounds KO.

 

Smaller, weaker, a little slower yes. But this I object to.

He is certainly not less skilled. Floyd has more defensive skill, Marquez has more offensive skill and craft.

Overall I think Marquez is the more skilled of the two. Not that it matters much though, as Floyd has youth, size, strength, speed etc over Marquez.

 

But needless to say, I'll be rooting for Gay Marquez hardcore.

 

Floyd will put Marquez on queer street, and he might like it!

Bitchass Money May TKO 7

 

Me too.
