It would be hard to choose because both guys are two of my favorite fighters. I think Marquez would win. They both can box and both have that boxer, brawler style. With Mijares not getting hit as much. Marquez's power though I think would be the difference. Mijares doesn't have that power that could really keep Marquez away. He was still coming when Vasquez was hitting him. I just think that Marquez would land those punches that would get Mijares reeling a little. I don't think he would KO Mijares, but win a decision.

Mijares better worry about Darchinyan first.

Tough to call but I think Mijares is capable enough with his defense/toughness that he could cancel out Marquez' power edge and he outboxes Marquez, but it would be a close decision. Marquez is obviously amazingly skilled himself, he's just easier for Mijares to hit than the other way around.
