Horn vs Marquez

[Gigantes]

Why isn't this a fight Marquez is pursuing? Surely he'd be able to beat him while picking up his belt in 147 that he's been wanting. He'd be able to really go out on a nice retirement fight.

Marquez is retired. He's by far the better and more skilled fighter but Horn may be a bit too big. 147 isn't Marquez's best weight.

I thought Marquez was retired after losing to Bradley, but he fought Alvarado. I thought Alvarado was too big yet Marquez was able to almost knock Alvarado out of the ring (from one end to the other lol), something not even Rios or Ruslan was able to do.

Dinamita is in his mid 40s and hasn't fought in almost 4 years, Horn is a hungry, prime and good champion. It's a mismatch at this stage, Marquez is too far gone.

Marquez knows how to handle rough fighters better then Pac.

That’s always been Pac’s Achilles heel even in his prime.

id still favour marquez even at his age. horn isnt much good and hes completely tailor made for marquez, couldnt be any better stylistically

I can see Horn stumbling into the same bomb Pacquiao fell into.

exactly, I wonder why they don't try to make this fight. Marquez wouldn't even need to chase Horn. This would be the easiest route to snatching that 147 belt. Once Crawford gets it, Marquez's window surely will be closed on getting another belt because no way he's beating Crawford/Thurman/Spence.

5th title

Marquez wanted that fifth division belt so badly, i dont know why he didn't go after Pacquiao, or a Bradley rematch, or even Porter when he was the IBF champion. He would sometimes choose the wrong fights and he wasted his time on mike Alvarado. He's probably too far gone to fight horn, but horn is tailor made for Marquez. He does better against pressure fighters. Horn isnt even at the level of Juan Diaz sort of fighter.

[Willy Wanker]

Marquez is old and shot, he made the right call to retire. He can't even make it through training camp without injuring himself. Even if he could, he doesn't want to come back just to lose a gift decision to Horn.
