Marquez is a great fighter who sometimes gets caught by average fighters...like Katsidis, Alvarado, etc. Doesn't mean that Marquez has Katsidis problems or Alvarado problems. Doesn't mean that Marquez is not great.
So Marquez knocked the F out of Pacqiuao who beat the crap out of Cotto. Cotto is still too much for Marquez. Unlike Pacquiao in the fourth fight vs. JMM, Cotto will fight a disciplined fight behind the jab and will batter Marquez into submission.

Originally posted by Dr Rumack View PostDream style match-up but it doesn't make sense now. Marquez is retired and at his limit at 147. I don't think he should even fight full sized welters like Thurman, Brook, or Spence.
Cotto is now comfortable at 154 and was able to trade with Canelo. Surely he's too big for Marquez now.
I think Cotto if he is not drained will stop JMM at this stage of the game, Team Marquez will be squeezing the weight like a lemon, I hate fights that depend on weight so much as this fight does, they too far apart now you gotta drain one guy or blow up the up the other, its not a fair fight no matter how its made.

It's not just a cliche: styles still make fights.

At this point the fight will only be competitive depending a lot on Marquez's knees and how much stamina he has in the tank.

IMHO, at this point, both guys just need a tune up so they can see where they are and size up what is best for them in the little time they have left.

Arum has to force his hand, "you must fight Pacquiao first in order to get Cotto, or your family will be in danger". Seriously. He needs to use this to his advantage, Pacquiao deserves that fight.
