How come Marquez couldn't even knock Pacquiao down in their first 3 fights?

Beating the crap out of Mike Alvarado means JMM has show "sudden dramatic improvement?" GTFOH ... Alvarado was never on JMM's level, ever.

The guy looks like a 40 year old boxer. The problem is, the new crop of boxers aren't as good and lack solid fundamentals. That's why these "old dogs" can hang around like they do.

I think the improvement of Marquez people were noting was more with how ripped he got for the 4th Pac fight.

Anyway, I'm not saying Marquez is juiced. I hope to God he's not. I'm a pac fan but him KOing Pac was a great moment for the sport, and as a spectator and fan of boxing I would feel disappointed if it was tainted in some manner.

However, if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and bench-presses 450 pounds like a duck. ... The fact that this transformation in musculature, and the apparent increase in punching power that accompanies it, happened under the watch of admitted steroids dealer Memo Heredia/Angel Hernandez raises obvious flags -- flags that were raised repeatedly in the buildup to this fight. There's an element of sanctimony in all of this: Heredia is vilified despite his assertion that he's a changed man, while his nemesis Victor Conte is largely (although not universally) praised for his professed damascene conversion. Still, one of the fighters with whom Conte works, Nonito Donaire, has chosen to address concerns about his association with the man behind BALCO by voluntarily submitting himself to 24/7/365 drug testing. The chemists likely will always stay a step ahead of the cops, but if Marquez truly wants to assuage the doubts that were expressed online and in the media room in the aftermath of his defining victory -- doubts that will continue to follow him around for as long as he works with Heredia -- he should consider taking the same step as Donaire.
