Vasquez Vs. Marquez and Caballero Vs. Lacierva RBR

[Kev]

Ok so the big question, does this make Isreal Vazquez p4p?

I think if anything it exposes Marquez as being overatted more than Vazquez being a great. What are your thought?

A good post topic for tommorrow I think.

I don't think it makes Marquez over rated...Vasquez is not some ham and egger.....this is a former champion and the first fight was a smoker...If not for the nose who knows how it would have ended.....

A bit early stoppage...maybe but lets be real the KO was coming...Marquez was hurt.....and Vasquez was getting stronger he knew he needed to end things quick...he was a fighter on a mission

I know Vazquez is no bum I just think a true p4p fighter would be able to control him. If Floyd, Winky or B Hop were featherweights I'm sure they would pitch virtual shutouts against him.

That statement makes no sense. No need to even bring other fighters from completely different weight classes into the discussion. You have no idea how Floyd, Winky, or Bernard would have reacted...since none of them have been in that particular situation. Vasquez is a great fighter with great power. The stoppage came a bit early...but he clearly had Marquez in trouble. Marquez is definitely not "overrated". These two should fight once more...it has been an exciting and brutal first two fights. I also think Vasquez showed great class at the end by putting the belt around Marquez and saying a third match will definitely happen.

I disagree, B Hop and Winky both schooled Trinidad another come forward banger, albiet a better fighter than Vazquez. If Floyd was fighting at that weight he would school Vazquez, so would probably most of the top 10 p4p guys out there.

He's basically like Diego Coralles, a great fighter but one who the truly elite shouldn't lose to.
