That he's on the decline, but ever so slightly because he maintains his physical form, and he's always gonna have Manny Poochiaos number?
Everybody needs to chill on the amount of muscle Marquez has alledgedly put on. Hes a little leaner and a few pounds heavier.... THATS ALL! He weighed in the mid 140's in the ring when he was fighting at superfeather! Now he may weigh 150.
I think his hand speed, foot-speed, and flexibility at the weight have all improved. He'll never look as fast at 144-147 as he did at 126 & 130, but adopting a more scientific regimen definitely helped. The quality of the weight matters more than just the number.
I dont understand how this question can be asked when jmm had his best performance against pacquiao with the muscular frame. he's fighting at 147 which isn't his natural weight class, should he show up looking like he did against floyd?
Dumb question - you're basically asking 'Is Marquez worse off taking proven effective performance enhancing drugs'. It's not just a bigger frame - the muscle gain is a result of working with Angel Heredia, a self confessed PED dealer/expert who has supplied some of the top names in sport. He isn't just going to be working with Marquez to give him stuff to bulk him up, he'll be taking substances for better strength, recovery and endurance - meaning he is a far better specimen than before he employed Heredia (i.e Floyd). Saying that, Marquez doesn't beat Floyd ever, too small and the styles are all wrong for him. That's the truth of the matter. All you naive kids - you don't like it? Come at me . . .
Not really take into account that he has aged...even Floyd & Pac aren't as fast as they were 3-4 years ago.
He is almost 40, and ought to be working out hard to utilize his strength advantage in the ring instead of cutting. For the same reason Jermain Taylor beat Hopkins, Bernard Hopkins held that belt for too long.
he isnt fighting fed. he's fighting pacquiao, and he needs to stick to what worked in his last fight with pacquiao.
