How can anyone possibly hold how 'bad' Marquez looked very early in the Diaz fight and negate the adjustments and break down he put on him in the second half? That is text book Marquez. He got dropped by Kats and again but close was teeing off with accuracy. Saying goes a man is only as good as his last fight...Marquez profited from familiarity and knowledge of Pac but he not only rose to occasion vs an elite, he arguably beat him.
I like Bradley, like him alot and since he's hit it big I do think he's been slighted at many turns with the 'ducking Khan' bs, no charisma etc etc. The dude is what the sport needs more of in tenacity and have gloves will travel attitude, but he has yet too face anyone with the ring generalship and flat out technical ability of a Marquez. He too has struggled early and is only recently found some solid boxing. I think it's a big mistake to cast Marquez off as some guy on borrowed time. Style wise he's the boxer to Bradleys attacker in there. I don't think he's going to outbox or out style Marquez and in the pocket I think Marquez inside-body game is taking it home.
