Mayweather dominates Marquez – Would Pac-Man stand a chance?
September 20th, 2009
By Liam Santiago: Floyd Mayweather Jnr proved himself to be absolutely stunning last night, winning every round over Juan Marquez, who hardly landed a decent punch. The man who took Pacquiao to the wire, and even pushed him to a draw, in two fights who many say Marquez won, was made to look very average by Mayweather.
In their two bouts Marquez really gave Pacquiao problems, many believing Marquez won both. However, against Floyd he looked as bad as Malignaggi did against Hatton. My hat goes off to Marquez. He gave it everything. But against Mayweather, sometimes everything is simply not enough. I think Mayweather would do to pacquiao what he just did to Marquez. I can see him embarrassing Pacquiao and making him look an average fighter. What we do know now, is that Pacquiao does not deserve the lions share of the split if the two do ever meet. Mayweather has proved he is simply in a different league.
Shane Mosley and Mayweather broke into an argument/scrap in the ring, after the bout last night, which was simply to hype any future fights. Anyone who believes different is a fool. That little scrap will have been planned in advance. The two play basketball together, so I doubt they would resort to scrap in a boxing ring about butting into an interview. However, if the hype works then it’s all good.
Shane Mosley is a fighter who may cause Floyd more problems than Pacquiao. However, I see Cotto beating Pacquiao in November so he might be out of the question very soon. The important thing to remember with Mayweather is, there is no road which you can go down to beat him. You can’t out box him. You can’t pressure him, as Hatton and Marquez found out. I can see Mayweather fighting on for another six or seven years and remaining undefeated.

pac man is better than may weather so dont
bet money or else youll lose
hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeellllllllllllllllllllllll nooooooooooooooooooo…………marquez has won 18 out of 24 ovr pac man LMFAO
Please be informed that the Pacman now is way more improved than the Pacman who fought Marquez years ago. So, kindly put that info in consideration when making your comments. Be objective.
I see no chance on Pacman fighting Moneymay. He is no match in any department coz Mayweather is to good for him
Sad to say this because i’m a filipino but that’s real.
news flash!!!!!! mayweather has just signed to make history in boxing not content in domonating smaller men he is going to fight mia saint john. special note he will only fight mia if she wieghts 20 ibs less than him.
cotto kos pacman ruins floyds plans of another easy fight floyd runs away from cotto by retiring again claiming hbo people are racist becouse they cant find him another big money fight with 100 % chance of winning so he goes to wwe and starts wrestling midgets.
First I am not a fan of both sides (Pacman and Floyd), but seeing the fight of both, I see Pacman will win over Floyd. Pacman is the best of both worlds, endurance, speed, agressiveness, tactics, heavy-puncher and all that stuff. To Brahma Bull, you got your point there. Comparing the win of Pacman to Oscar and Hatton, he can beat Floyd. Though I am seeing that this could be either unanimous or split decision. If Pacman changes his style a little bit, I believe, he can KO Floyd.
The only thing that fight proved is mayweather can still DANCE. I now want a pacquiao mayweather boxing match. If it doesn’t materialize, maybe we can have ALING DIONISIA vs mayweather. Heck, I’ll pay a lot of money to see that. Pacquiao will win bigtime vs mayweather. Bigtime means the smaller guy winning against the bigger guy. Dlh winning against PAC is no biggie and so with mayweather winning vs Marquez. Now, that fight that just took place is nothing special at all. There is no greatness there. It’s just another W.
It’s no big deal
pacman and floyd fight will never happen and heres why bob arum and floyd dont see eue to eye. Plus old bob still owes floyd money and floyd wont do any kind of biz untill he gets his money. Plus lets get real floy would destroy manny because he is such a great defensive fighter and i dont think manny is tuff enough to break through floyds d or even quick enough. floyd by knock out if this fight happens.
FLOYD-PAC FIGHT WILL NEVER BE MADE ,PAC AND ROACH WOULD WANT FLOYD TO COME DOWN TO 140,WHICH HE WOULD REFUSE(AND RIGHTLY SO),FLOYD DID`NT ASK OSCAR TO COME DOWN TO WELTER WEIGHT,BUT PAC DID,AND YOU COULD SEE THAT OSCAR WAS DRAINED AT THE WEIGH-IN.
Mayweather is skilled but he knew from the beginning that Marquez is vulnerable from his style. Marquez climbed 2 levels up with no real experience of handling welterweights, if you look at the fight closely Marquez slowed down, i think the best way that he could do is to pressure Mayweather but all he did is counter-punch, he has no chance doing that.
But Pacquiao I think has so much to offer to Mayweather, he proved that he can do well in the welterweights, and Pacquiao is no Marquez, he’s really a very relentless attacker and quicker, Speed Vs Slick that is
hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeellllllllllllllllllllllll nooooooooooooooooooo…………marquez has won 18 out of 24 ovr pac man LMFAO
Anyone who thinks that marquez at 142 is the same As Marquez at 130 (his natural weight) is fooling themselves. He’s much Speer and his punches have no pop. You cAn’t use floyds success against Marquez and compare it to PAC as jmm is older and fighting at an uncomfortable weight- just like odlh against PAC
My comment was meant for Mr. Perez, sorry Liam.
This writer predicted boldly that Marquez would win. Now he needs to eat his words and drink his own urine as Marquez did so. LOL.
Styles make fights and the best fight against Floyd would be Pacman. Although I think Pacman will be beaten by Cotto so the fight won’t happen. Mosley will be Floyd’s next fight. Floyd will destroy Mosley as bad as Marquez. Floyd is the best fighter we will ever see while we are alive. His kind only comes along every 50 years or so. He has beaten the top of every division he has been in. It is time he gets his due.
definitely pacman can beat mayweather my friends. look, pac is very busy in the ring that can cause pbf problems. marquez was just waiting for pbf to unload punches, which he didnt, for his counter punching expertise to be unloaded also. but what pbf did was just sharpshooting from the distance with his quick hands and keep adding points every round. marquez didnt apply pressure and keep pbf busy. he just rely on his counter punches with no effect on pbf style.
After the fight of Pacquiao vs Cotto we will see what’s next for Mayweather. As for the question if Pacman stands a chance .. Yes.. . If Floyd have great defensive skills , Pacquiao have unbelievable speed,power and stamina. Both boxers have incredible agility. Can’t wait for that fight. Pacman vs Cotto first.I believe that will be an epic fight.
The thing that i dont understand is why people think that his so better than the other fighters when he didnt even KO Marquez. My question is do you people think Marquez will be standing if he fought Mosley last night with all the weight advantage in? Floyd didn’t KO Marquez so i dont see Floyd knocking out Pacman. Like i said before, let see what is going to happen on November against Cotto. If Pacman beat Cotto then he has a chance of beating Floyd. It’s going to be a tough fight for Manny, but hey! We all wanted to know who really is the “KING”right!
Good points actually guys.. Against pressure fights Mayweather doesn’t look so good.. I still think Mosley would give him the best battle.. His constant pressure against Margharito was one of his finest displays..
Peace

IMHO(In My Humble Opinion) FMJ avoided questions about Manny in Keller’s interview. and why is that so? if he sees he has gave JMM a beating then why does he avoid those questions including the challenge from Mosley? there is only one answer. He is still in doubt. even to himself he is in doubt of being P4P king.
Marquez never had a heavy punch that could wreck any boxers face. if that was only Mosley or Pacquiao he would have staggerred at round 3. Hatton received 2 early Knock downs at round 1 from Manny with only 1 punch coming from both hands! whom FMJ never had. secondly, Marquez has the heart but never had a good chance besides the reach and WEIGHT(whom FMJ intentionally did at weigh in) disadvantage and uses counter-punching as his defense, JMM has no Lateral movement! that is why he became and easy target. He became slower and weaker to give punches by going up 2 divisions in weight. the only reason why he challenged Marquez(whom he calls a “little GREAT man”?)is that for fans to see that he gave a beating to the one who gave Pacman a hard time. but JMM is not Pacman, so what ends the story now? that Manny has no match for him. but the ENDS doesn’t justify the means…
FMJ is a good tactical boxer (with the use of his clinch and elbows) but never really accepts a good challenge. he can never do any clinch with one hand and extend an elbow at his opponents face if that was Sugar shane… even boxing magazines never gave him much attention anymore. He is a very good boxer but never be a Great one until he proves it…
At 142 Marrquez is as slow as a snail. His punches has no power to hurt because it is slow. I’ll bet my balls at this match Pacquiao will knock Marquez out with exclamation point.
After watching the fight, my thoughts on Pacquiao’s chances against Mayweather haven’t changed. Mayweather looked great against a smaller counter puncher. But, that was the problem. Mayweather was able to do all his posing and sharpshooting because of the fact that Marquez wasn’t putting any pressure on him. And since Mayweather wasn’t throwing any combos, Marquez had nothing to counter. Ricky Hatton pressured Mayweather and Mayweather did not look as good in that fight as he did against Marquez. Castillo pressured him as well as De la Hoya. Those fights went the distance and could’ve gone either way. Now, I believe that Marquez is a better counterpuncher than Mayweather in the sense that when he’s pressured, he continues punching. Think about it. If Pacquiao never threw all those punches against Marquez, their 2 fights would’ve ended up the same way as last night’s fight. Pacquiao would’ve snuck in a left and moved out of the way. But he didn’t. Those two wanted to brawl all night long. Pacquiao and Marquez wanted to trade punches. Mayweather didn’t want to trade. He just wanted to sharpshoot.
Pacquiao has a much better chance than Marquez because he will pressure Mayweather all night long. His stamina is better than Marquez’s. Now that Pacquiao has fought at 140 or more in a couple of fights, he knows how to handle the weight. Pacquiao will continue jabbing all night and continue to sneak in a couple of shots. He will also improve his defense.
Now, if Mayweather does to Mosley what he did to Marquez, I will definitely have conflicting thoughts. If Mosley attacks Mayweather like he did Margarito and Mayweather is able to sharpshoot and make him look like Marquez, I will definitely reconsider my thoughts.
As far as speed goes, I still don’t believe that Mayweather is faster than Pacquiao. I’ve looked at both of their fights against Hatton and I can guarantee that Mayweather was not able to land a shot on Hatton that was faster than the left hook Manny knocked him out with. Last I checked, Mayweather gave Hatton a left hook, Hatton hit the post, and still got up. I don’t remember Hatton getting up from Manny’s left hook.
I have to say I was there last night and PBF was awesome.. Marquez is a favourite of mine as he has been the underdog so many times and is underrated but PBF was exceptional. Marquez’s style is made for Mayweather..
He is just so hard to hit. I think the only way to anyone is going to beat him is if they throw caution to the wind and go crazy Hearns Hagler style for as long as they can. That is the only way to catch Mayweather. I think Cotto and the Pac Man are simply too crude as boxers. He’d dance his way around them using his lean back style.
The only man in my humble opinion who stands a chance against Mayweather is Shane when he is on top form.
His hand speed against Antonio was like lightening. He looked faster than Mayweather which is saying something.
Love him or loath him Mayweather is an exceptional boxer who simply doesn’t get hit.

I like pac an i dont like floyd, but come on people – floyd would pick him off all night, stand up avoid the flurries slip the shots and catch him with powerful lefts and rights – pacman would be KO’d no doubt about it, and if anyone did doubt whether floyd would beat pacman just watch the marquez fight again. There is no one that can beat floyd
pacman will overwhelem mayweather with his speed and agreshen.His just on a hole nother level right naw, and only getting better.Marquez would have got knocked out if he would fight pacman right naw,something mayweather could not do.
Everyone wants to jump on mayweathers bandwagon.Mayweather new he could beat marquez, he just faught him to say he beat someone the pacman had a draw with.BUT understand that the pacman is not the same fighter he was.
If Pacman win against Cotto. I don’t see why not Pacman and Floyd shouldn’t fight. If Pacman can stand Cotto’s punches then i’m sure he can with stand Floyd. His fight last night means nothing, and beside with all the advantage Floyd had against Marquez, he should knock him out cold. I agree with some people that Floyd has the advantage against Pacman, but come on people! This is what we been waiting for. A fight for a P4P king title. That is IF! if Pacman survive Cotto?
2 Cut the story short:
Floyd needs to fight in his next fight one of the following to get the respect he seeks: (order of preference)
1. Shane Mosley
2. Paul Williams
3. If not either, then atleast cotto/pac winner
4. If none of these options… Then plz retire (too boring for ppv)
I wanted marquez to win but i knew he wouldnt. Mayweather was just to good hes by far the best welterweight in the division. He would beat Pacman even though id want Pacman to win!!
The only man to beat mayweather is Williams due to his height.
im a pacman fan, but judging from floyds skill last night, i see he could do pacman.
It would be a good fight between Pacman and Mayweather. Liam may sound pretty convincing here about Mayweather beating Pacman but I ganranteed you Liam will not bet $1 against Pacman. You have to understand Liam has never picked Pacman to win a single fight over Morales, Marquez, Delahoya, Hatton or any of those wins, not a single corrc predictio. I will put a little $$$ on Pacman only because I just know Lian will come through for Pacman again.
lol…
all ya’ll are dumb, first of all, pacman is a fast lefty.. and the reason why he had trouble with both fights against marquez is that both of them were attackers. but, pacquiao could switch his ability if the need arises. i believe that pacman will win against pbf. and yeah, mayweather was really pound for pound king yesterday, he was over the pound limit. lmao.. its pity to see him fight a smaller person and ya’ll are saying he’s the best.
pac would suffer the same fate as Marquez.
only person who has a chance is williams, only test for mayweather would be to go up in weight. i think pacman would be more of a handfull but mayweather would go up a gear. at the moment they are the two best pound for pound. a fight with mosley would just be more money for floyd easy fight
if can can take his speed up i think he could even take the middle weight belt after that performance
mayweather proved he is still p4p king.he should fight pacman next
i hate mayweather… after what he did to marquez.
pacman has zero chance of beating mayweather. the guy is too skilled. i agreee he made marquez looks
like an amatuer. sorry pacman but you dont have what it takes to beat mayweather….
Pacman had Mayweathers left overs
has he . i heard they were supposed to fight at staples center on boxing day?? was a couple of weeks ago mind.
i heard mosley weasled out of a fight with clottey
floyd would never fight williams. wont see williams at welter again anyway.
he ko a very weight drained de la hoya . and yes he did ko hitman in devastating fashion which i give himk his due. mayweather was quality last night ( amazong defense) however he fought a pumped up lightweight i would like to see floyd take on a genuine welterweight in mosley and after last nights post fight interview would be a great grudge match and a proper fight.
doesnt matter what pacman did to hatton, PBF would dsmantle him worse than he did marquez. It would be embaressing for pacman he has no chance whatsoever. mayweather cannot be beaten.
There is only one man who maybe could give floyd a competative fight and thats paul williams
There has not been a fighter of Mayweather’s quality for some 20 years or so.
yeah but pacman koed oscar and ricky in devastating fashion compaerd to money man
