Question.
Why is it that Marquez seemed to really only take big risks against the most dangerous opponent he ever faced in Manny?
He fought Bradley, Barrera, and TBE roughly the same, tentative and cautious. He went after Casamayor only after Joel started to back down.
I was watching Mayweather/Marquez again and from round 6 on it started it get pitiful how easily Floyd was tagging Marquez in the face. But more importantly, Floyd was right in front of him, waiting for him to throw so he could pull counter him all night long.
Then I look at Mayweather/Maidana 1 and I see a guy in Chino who doesn't sit back and wait for Floyd to peg him from a distance.
So my question is why Marquez didn't throw caution to the wind against Floyd, a non-power puncher, like he did in 4 fights against Manny, a knockout artist at the time?
