Boxing: Mayweather Jr. (39-0-25 KO's) Vs. Márquez (50-4-1 37 KO's)
Kool Beenz:
ive been holding out on dropping my opinion on this but watching how MArquez trains he is reminding me of Rocky right now lol
i think he actually has a chance. i mean dont forget Marquez got to where he is at cus of his counter punching... but then Floyd could be wise with his shots and let Marquez be the aggressor like he always does in all his fights and make him attack and counter punch the counter puncher....
its gonna be a great fight im going with Mayweather but i honestly dont know how its gonna end
and i wouldnt be suprise if Marquez gives Money his first lost...
im like one of the only few going for Money Mayweather out of all my friends but thats cus all my friends are hispanic
D-Nice:
One thing Floyd gets little to no credit for is his defense. He never gives his opponent a clear, open target to hit, alot of punches land on his arms and shoulders. And his defensive stance almost makes people have to lean in to get a better punch, which leaves you open to be counter punched. I respect counter punchers IF they have a good defense but Marquez does get hit ALOT. Manny tagged him with alot of good shots in both their fights, but Juan is a warrior and if he can find a way to get through Floyd's defense he has a shot.
Kool Beenz:
Floyd, b Hop, Marquez and James Toney have to be some of the best counter punchers that are still active
i know im missing many others but nobody does it as good as them
+1 on that D Nice

Yeah Floyds defense is ridiculous. The way he leans back with his shoulder forward and his head tucked, hes a pretty difficult target. Part of the problem though is fighters going to the head. He's very hard to hit upstairs, you gotta take body shots with him. Also, Floyds ability to control the tempo of the fight. Ive never seen a Mayweather fight where the pace wasnt HIS pace. He confuses fighters a lot in the ring, which is why he doesnt always start fast...but by the middle of the fight the opponent looks completely out of synch. Remember De La Hoya saying "the jab just wasnt there tonight" after his fight with Mayweather lol. In the beginning of the fight when Oscar threw the jab, he was somewhat effective. Floyd took that away, and even a vet like De La Hoya couldnt figure him out. If Pacquiao gets past Cotto, and Floys is willing to step in the ring with him....Pacquiao might beat him. Its the first time Floyd will fight someone with equal handspeed, but more power, and relentless.
C-BLUE:
