    Marquez hit harder p4p maybe but Barrera was bigger, more skilled and sophisticated offensively and hence able to land more shots than Rafa would. He was still a very good puncher at feather and basically a natural lightweight while Tapia was more or less past it and still taking flush shots over and over again for the full duration. I wouldn't rule a Marquez stoppage out but it'd still be highly unlikely imo. Agree to disagree, at least we seem to agree that Tapia has a good chance of winning :)
