Did Marquez Have Fast Hands At FW/SFW?

[Calilloyd]

Simple question. Did Marquez have handspeed at FW/SFW?

I would say yes. He certainly wasn't slow.

[..WaRSpencE..]

Not really..he's always been a very good counter puncher with excellent timing..and he would neutralize his opponents speed..That's what made me a huge fan!..

So then what you're saying is that he was definitely more equipped and dangerous than a regular brawler?

Oh, definitely. He was a smart fighter who would notice whenever his his opponents made a mistake and nail them with a counter. He had a pretty good amount of power for a featherweight too, so those counters would really hurt.

He was good against brawlers who were a little sloppy with their technique like Pacquiao. Where he struggled was against more technical boxers who had a longer reach than him. Floyd Mayweather is probably the worst possible opponent for him, and I think he would have struggled badly against Mayweather even without the difference in weight.

JMM fast hands but nothing spectacular.
