It appears that he's lost most of the flab people were criticizing him over.:boxing:

The article mentions that Marquez is in great condition and has been sparring for 12 rounds against Cuban Roberto Norris, rookie Juan Manuel Montiel, Panamanian Antonio Fernández, and closed with three rounds with Alejandro Barrera.
"I am satisfied for having done this work. After twelve intense rounds I do not feel tired. We must take into account that I worked with six-ounce gloves and we must add the heat of the gym. Well I could do twelve rounds, " he said.
"This week I started working on speed, which is what I'll need to beat Mayweather. I am also training to hit the body. Rare is the fighter who has gone downstairs against this fighter. Zab Judah did, and I will also try. Judah feinted and used lateral movement, there are ways to do this, despite the fact that Mayweather has many resources to neutralize his opponents. "
"I'm eating a double portion of what I normally eat. I have an excellent program for nutrition and fitness work," he added.
With his running regimen, Marquez has made the time of 1 hour and 7 minutes while running 12 kilometers uphill in Nevado de Toluca.

Well also he has had more time to adjust to his new weight due to May's "rid injury". Im feeling confident because he had extra time to get comfortable at his new weight that he will come out to his full potential come fight night. I just wonder how much power he has gained? He brought up a decent amount with to ko two fighters that never have been koed before.
football players and rugby player have alot of muscle and speed.
The better question is not about speed but stamina. imagine carried extra weight and moving around.
That's a much different type of speed. It has nothing to do with your ability to run, it has to do with the speed of your hands. Boxing is such a precise sport, that even 5 lbs can change your speed enough to not be effective.
The lighter you get the faster your hands become, I'm just worried that Marquez will not be able to regain the speed he has. I mean let's be real here, he's not the fastest guy to begin with and now he's going up against a mongoose.
He definitely doesn't look fat, he looks muscular....
Damn he's added a lot of muscle. It can't be good for his speed, there's no way he can retain the speed he had in previous fights. It will be interesting to see what he looks like fight night.

damn, he looks fat!
guess the taco diet is working out?
he should have stayed somewhat lean so he didn't
lose any speed.

as long as he believe he could it enough for himself.
Nobody though Baldmoir would win against Zab, Manny KO Oscar or Douglas KOing Tyson.
so anything could happen.
It look Marquez is really going at it 12 km per day uphill at once is amazing thing.
This is hard to do: gain weight and speed at the same time. He could try but imo he can't win regardless. I'll root for him though. I know he'll die trying.
We'll see, Mayweather could look rusty after that long layoff. JMM may be the clear underdog for several reasons but he's not an opponent that should be taken lightly. Either way, Marquez has more to gain and less to lose in this fight than Mayweather.
That is way I've been seeing this one as well.
i dont think JMM looks too fat but he looks alot thicker across the back, shoulders and torso than i expected. im wodering how this will affect his speed, JMM's not a speedster but he does rely on having quick hands to fire off combo's.
iv still got mayweather via wiiiiiiiiddde UD.
Sadly it won't be enough.

I dont think people were critisinghim for any other reason apart to have a dig at Mayweather for fighting JMM at 144, Another thing was the picture where he looked fat was from a previous training camp.
Well a few people were also having a go at Marquez. I believe the previous pics were described as being from July 16th.
