no idea. 2 bills on whoever Shane tells me to bet on.

Im not sure who I'm taking yet. The 3-1 odds are enticing. Especially since Mayweather hasen't fought in a long time.

Based on these bouts it doesnt sound like he will be any kind of pushover. Hmmmm!

[edit] Super Featherweight
On 17 March 2007, Juan Manuel "Dinamita" Márquez became the WBC Super Featherweight champion by defeating Barrera in Las Vegas by unanimous decision.[2] Juan Manuel "Dinamita" Márquez's first defense of his title were to be held on September 15, 2007 against Argentinian boxer Jorge Rodrigo Barrios. However, Barrios withdrew from the bout due to injury, prompting American boxer Rocky Juárez to challenge Márquez for the title in 3 November 2007 in a losing effort.


[edit] Second bout with Pacquiao
In 29 November 2007, Márquez announced that he would defend his championship title in a rematch against Manny Pacquiao. On 15 March 2008. Márquez lost his Super Featherweight title to Pacquiao by a disputed split decision where the majority of experts in the boxing community saw Marquez winning, including Filipino boxing analysts. Compubox scoring had Márquez landing 42/201 (21%) jabs to Pacquiao's 43/314 (14%) jabs, it also had Márquez scoring 130/310 (42%) power punches to Pacquiao's 114/305 (37%) power punches.[3] Márquez suffered a knockdown in the third round by a punch from Pacquiao. The knocked down proved to be the winning score for Pacquiao.but marquez was the real winner of the fight[4][5] Richard Schaefer, Golden Boy Promotions CEO, offered a $6 million guarantee to Pacquiao for a rematch. Pacquiao's promoter, Bob Arum, said, "I’m not saying they’ll never fight again, but you have to let it bake for a while". Pacquiao, for his part said, "I don't think so, this business is over" as he plans to move up to the Lightweight division.[6] Márquez traveled to the Philippines for a friendly meeting with Pacquiao, the Filipino champion once again rejected a third fight.

The fight will boil down to size - how much bigger is Mayweather than Marquez.
If the size differential is not a factor, Marquez will be anything but a pushover. I was shocked that Floyd chose Marquez as his first fight back from retirement. If size really isn't a factor, this fight will go the distance and Marquez will give Floyd all he could handle.
