Marquez was never known for speed, even at a young age, and it's only natural for a fighter like that to get slower as he bulks up for higher weights..

He is about timing and it's still there.
You'll get no argument from me on that. But being as slow as he is now is difficult. If someone moves you're forced to follow which limits what you can do to time your opponent. Hence his trouble with Bradley. A young Marquez boxes Bradley, an older Marquez spends the night trying to get slow feet right.

Watching older fighters start losing to guys they are better than is one of the difficult aspects of fandom.
