I used to like this fight, but I'm slowly changing my mind. Hatton is done and can't take clean punches anymore. I think Marquez should fight Khan, Bradley, or Katsidis, instead of feasting on the remains of Hatton.

I guess, if Hatton is done, this could be his last payday and an easy fight for Marquez to hopefully adjust to 140, if Marquez weighs in around 138-140 and comes in at no higher than 144, I think he will hopefully have pop and enough speed to compete with most elite 140 lbers minus Bradley and Khan, but what he lacks in speed, he can make up in power and skill, Marquez may have looked slow and fat at 148, but I agree that maybe 2-3 fights at that weight will allow him to become a force to be reckon at 140 and hopefully become champ.
