Pretty cool stuff Kaynan. The weight issue thing is interesting. I forgot JMM weighed 141 in the second Pacquiao fight. Still Marquez seems slower at a higher weight, so I'm not sure what it is. It might be age, but you don't age from March to September of 2008.Comment

The weight imo may have some adverse side effects, but the fact that he isn't having to kill himself to make a weight which obviously isn't natural (hence the crazy jumps in weight overnight) outweigh the problems that might come with fighting at a higher weight.Comment

Nice article about the age factor in boxing. Just a little correction, Marquez was the lightweight champion when he fought Diaz, he didn't win the championship unless you mean the IBO belt which Diaz held or the vacant WBA title.Comment

When I wrote that, I was saying that Marquez was coming off a win over the LW champ of the world, AND a win over Diaz. I didn't make it clear enough, though. I'll edit that so it's easier to understand.Comment
