By the same token, Barerra has appeared past it as well, only to show that he is still capable of boxing beatifully and improving on his last performance, even at his age. Basically, if Marquez is able to do the same, I think he could edge it out.... What makes this a difficult fight to pick(among many things, really) is that either one of these guys could have grown old recently. But at the same time, either is capable of putting on another great performance, at least I think so in the case of Marquez.. Barerra has shown that he can. The saying goes your only as good as your last performance, well... I hope that isn't true, for this fight. Not that either man looked bad, especially Barerra, he made the adjustement he needed to beat Juarez with ease... But it will not be the epic battle it once would have been, if you go by each man's last fight. Suppose I lean slightly towards Marquez. I certainly would rather he win, I think he has a better chance to beat Pac in a rematch than Barerra does... But like I say, I could be proved very wrong..
Three months prior to that he stopped Jandaeng in seven rounds. He looked damned impressive then.

No offence...but I hope that your'e wrong & I honestly believe that both man knows that if he loses this match then that will equate to no Pacquiao rematch & either a questionalbe legacy or depending on how you look at it...weaker paychecks.
Oh yeah.. well I take offence. Who are you to be coming on here and giving your opinion... Im deeply insulted Seriously, I hope Im wrong too, which I sort of said, Id love to see a great fight from both guys, and obviously they will both be totally motivated to perform at their best... I was simply questioning whether each of them are capable of doing so... Your having seen JMM' previous fight to Jaca really means you probably have a better idea of what could happen, especially since it would be more than understandable for Marquez to have taken Jaca somewhat lightly...
