What the **** you talking about man? Marquez has already had a longer, harder career than Mayweather and this is the end of the road for him. He has maybe one or two fights left in him and then it will be quits. He ain't taking this fight in the prime of his years, he is ending his career with some of the hardest fights possible.

Casa
Diaz
May
Hatton
You calling it double standards for a guy moving up to each opponents (who have also been the top guy in each division) weight class and fighting them instead of the other way around. He's taken on the two P4P number ones for the last six/seven years, both of whom were much bigger, younger and in their primes and has only taken the biggest, hardest possible fights in each division he has been in and you calling this **** double ****ing standards because Mayweather already beat Hatton after Hatton moved up to fight him instead of the other way around? Get real.
This guy is coming up to Hatton's division after fighting a guy that was twice the size and screwed him over with the weight as well, and you think it's anything like Mayweather fighting Hatton? Have you forgotten that Hatton moved up to WW to fight May and that May had a considerable height and reach advantage? Have you also forgotten that apart from Oscar, the last opponents were guys like Gatti, Judah, Baldomir etc? Compare that to someone who moved up to fight the top guys in each division and who were among the best in the sport, Diaz, Casa, Pac, May, and now he's taking on one big money fight that while not the hardest fight in the sport still presents a very high, and considerable risk to him. He is a lot smaller than Hatton and he is also 37 years old and at the end of his career and still at a weight class that is well and truly too much for him. He is also coming off the most devastating loss of his career, just like Hatton.
What more could you possibly want from Marquez? He has consistently fought the best the sport has had to offer and done things the hard way. Very, very different from Mayweather. It would be double standards if Marquez went and fought someone like Israel Vasquez. A solid money fight but against a guy that is way smaller and who would have to move up a few divisions to give him no chance. But, it is Marquez who is moving up and the fact is he is still fighting a guy with less wear and tear, barring the two KO's, and who is bigger and younger.
****ing double standards my ass. It would be double standards if May moved up to 160 and fought Pavlik after Hopkins beat him. That would be the same thing but Mayweather won't ever move to a division where the fighters are genuinely bigger in height and reach than him.

Now here is a young title holder in Timothy Bradley at 140 that draws a decent crowd and is way better than Hatton and would give JMM a chance to become a 4 division champ and his name is not even being mentioned. I've got a problem with that. JMM also fought Rocky Juarez instead of Humberto Soto just like Barrera did. And yet Pacquiao is the only one who gets bashed for avoiding him.
