Bradley is a far superior fighter to Lucas. lucas has heavy hands but he doesn't set up any work. Also, it's foolish to say anyone in the game can knockout Marquez. Manny couldn't do it in 4 fights (from small young marquez to buffed old marquez)... So Lucas can't do nothing. Marquez is too smart, too skilled and exploits pressure fighters. Marquez beats Lucas even now.
This. I can't see somebody with Matthysse's style handing JMM a loss, unless his body is completely shot.
I have always been a Marquez fan but old age has caught up with him at 41. I am also a big Lucas fan and I think he would knock Marquez out. I think Matthysse is a better fighter than Bradley and he is a great puncher with both hands and vicious combinations.

A couple years ago i'd go with Marquez.
41 year old Marquez ain't beating Matthysse today, especially if it's at welterweight.
I tought about putting 140 in topic but marquez has good power at 147 while it's a new weight for lucas.
Also you dont want to move down in weight at marquez age.
Marquez is done, don't let that win over Avocado's bum ass fool you.
He is utterly shot contemplating one last payday and that is before his knee injury
If Marquez is 80% of what he was in his fourth fight will pac he beats lucas but he probably is not due to age and injurys so i see it as a toss up..make it happen it might be epic draw like rocky vs apollo..
