Marquez of a few years ago would have a field day with Garcia countering Garcias slow, looping counters. Garcia is better than given credit for, and it only took beating Matthyse to show it, but he would struggle against Juans sharp counters and better speed.
However, the Marquez of today is too slow and leaden and is combinations are nearly nonexistent now so he would lose, and even possibly get stopped after getting dropped a few times during exchanges because he just doesn't have the footwork, speed and combination punching he used to.
It would still be a good fight, possibly a FOTY type war and Marquez would tag him pretty good even now. Unless Marquez retires, which I hope he does, this is the only fight I'd like to see.
A toss up still, but I'd certainly favour the much younger, prime Garcia.
