Since Mayweathers last fight in 2007 against Ricky Hatton, Juan Manuel Marquez has fought three times. He has finished Juan Diaz, Joel Casamayor and lost a controversal decision to Manny Pacquaio.
This is a significant advantage. Mayweather will undoubtably be coming in with ring rust. The only thing in Mayweathers favour is the weight advantage. JMM's last fight was at 135, this at 144. However both men started their careers at weights of 126/130.
Ultimately this fight will come down to Marquez having a way better work rate, not letting Mayweather get off against the ropes and being the aggresor for 12 rounds.
