No, I don't think Marquez, a boxing analyst in Mexico would forget canelo's age. I like canelo, but I agree with JMM and his Kirkland assessment. Ishida San also stopped Kirkland after a year layoff.
This is canelo's chance to make a big statement.
Who wanted the catch weight? Cotto?
Ray Robinson never heard of catch weights when he fought. The problem with young fans is that many measure boxing based on the guys they have seen, current era, not historically. Chavez sr was something like 87 -0 68 kos, before his first loss, & stopping roger mayweather 2 times. Armstrong and ATG, who didn't have social media, to create hype, many who faced real direct racism.
I digress.
