    Thats the biggest thing I've seen and alot of people won't mention it.

    In Marquez last two at 135 you could tell his hand and footspeed just weren't the same.He was impressive but that was against an aging Casa and a bull in Diaz.

    Add 12 lbs of muscle to that equation and we get a much slower Marquez in terms of head movement handspeed and footwork.

    Actually, yeah. He was taking on the best in the sport, but did so in as bitchy an advantageous way he could. It was an extremely calculated fight on Oscar's part.

    The same with the Pac fight; it just backfired terribly on him.

    It didn't backfire, people who know the sport know that even with the advantages Oscar secured it would still be difficult for him. Guys aren't rated #1 or #2 P4P just to impress forum posters, they're rated for a reason and only eyes that understand the sport can see it. Eyes that understand tomato cans like Margarito won't understand it and that's normal.

    If Marquez didn't feel like he can win why sign the fight? For some money?

    I thought he was a warrior. :deal
