What do you expect from a natural featherweight, who never stepped up in classes in his prime and went up to fight Barrera for the money. He was already struggling at LW, the Diaz fight was too close before the finish, and Floyd saw that, and picked JMM over Mosley when Schaefer offered him both fights. Marquez is a 1-division fighter, and 36 year old fighters, unlike youngsters obviously still growing in their 20s, usually look like **** when they move up 3 weight classes in 9 months.
He is still going to be the best fighter PBF has ever faced. He has great timing and just enough pop to be able to hurt PBF,dont write him off yet.
Yea but it doesnt do any harm if it doesnt work, if it does more power to him. Ali thought Frazier was shot before the Thrilla in Manilla
They probably focused on maintaining Marquez's speed at lightweight and just made do with whatever incremental power they could squeeze out from gaining the additional dozen pounds, and claimed the reverse to befuddle Floyd. :LOL:
