Marquez is a super fighter! Never seen such accurate punching... and comeback skills.. Hall of Famer for shur..
But don't count on him and Manny getting together... Manny has gotten too big for him...
Read this from Yahoo Sports:
DiBella couldn’t say enough good things about Marquez, but he noted that the size difference between Marquez and Pacquiao is significant now. Marquez and Pacquiao drew at featherweight in one of 2004’s best fights, then Pacquiao won a split decision in an outstanding super featherweight fight in 2008.
Pacquiao has managed to move up to welterweight successfully, but Marquez hasn’t been able to do so. When he fought Mayweather in 2009, his attempt to put on weight failed miserably and he laid an egg, barely winning a second of the fight.
“I think Marquez is one of the great fighters who’s ever lived, but at 135 pounds,” DiBella said. “You can’t argue the guy deserves an opportunity, but at 147, it’s not a fair fight. If [Pacquiao] moves down to 140 pounds, no one is going to complain if he fights Marquez. Marquez is a great fighter.
“But if Manny is a welterweight, then fight a welterweight. And my guy showed you, he’s a welterweight.”
