To some. Marquez is old, but I don't think it means all that much in the context of this fight. PBF would beat him at any weight and at any age. Marquez' only real chance IMO was PBF coming in rusty from the layoff and that clearly is not the case. He's an amazing fighter and I'd love to see Pac - PBF, though I think PBF would win, even at 140.

No shame in defeat for Marquez, he looked the definition of blown up. Far too small for Floyd who hasn't lost a beat. Wonder if Arum wants Manny to face that.
Marquez to good to get stopped. But he got dominated. I can't see how Pacquiao would have a chance against him
