Well, no. It's more about his opponent/style of choice than anything. Getting a few plodding, offensive guys with little defense can make anyone look a million dollars, especially if they're as good as Pac.
I think people are overestimating Marquez now. It's gone the opposite way. People think he's going to come in looking as good or better than last time.
He's now 40 years old, at 147. So what that he's done lots of weight training...He's not going to be sharper, faster or slicker, and most importantly younger, which is the only thing he ever needed to be to beat Pac. He's going to be slower again, his reflexes slightly eroded more and with the time of another year passing, his overall skills just that little bit diminished.
It'll either look sort of similar or Pac will win easy this time. Marquez isn't going to suddenly be better than ever.
Either way, none of that erases what he's done at 147.
