I dont think marquez was scared at all, hes a smart fighter and looks for openings and didnt want to give pbf a chance to get some big counter shots in. Hes not usually the agressor either, so i dont know why everyone seemed to be expecting marquez to come out guns ablazing in the last couple of rounds, its not his style. He wont come out and waste punches, he will try and land them effectively.
I don't know if you watched Marquez Diaz OR Casamayor... But marquez can come forward and reign hell on a guy if he has at least a similar weight differential. Yeah he's a great counterpuncher, but what is he gonna do walking down a giant??

Marquez did give everything he had. He did throw some big shots in the end. But he is not an idiot, right. He knew he needed a knockout, not a bunch of stat building shots.

When mayweather figured out he couldn't take Marquez out in the second round, he was content to just outbox him and keep moving. It was only when PBF opened up that he got hit with big shots.

I am sorry to say, yet again, I cannot give any credit to Floyd. I said it before the fight, and I'll say it after. Floyd may win his next fight against a qualified opponent, but not likely. He'll retire again most likely. Let's say he does fight [Shane, Pwill, Berto, Pac] I have all the congrats in the world waiting for him weather he KOs them or snooze-boxes them for 12 rounds.. At least it would be a fair fight! Shit!
