Totally agree with your concerns. Marquez seems hellbent on following Manny's trajectory. But like you say, he is a darn sight older than Manny and IMO seemed to be rounded out enough at 135. It's a shame Manny didn't grant Marquez an immediate rematch or a fight after Diaz and have the fight at 135.

Marquez has already proven he is the better fighter than Manny, but he clearly wants to prove a point. I think Marquez is fantastic and hope he can pull out something special against Mayweather. I am very curious to see how he looks at the weight.
