If you don't believe that maybe you don't understand boxing? I'll let the odds speak for me on this one my man. If im wrong on fight night I'll gladly eat crow, & expect you to do the same when we see how much of a mismatch this fight was.
For the people saying Marquez agreed so we should all be fine, well why wouldn't ge agree when he's 36 & this is basically his retirement fight. Money talks & I'm happy he's getting paid. As far as the "its ok to fight Pac at 143 & not Marquez" argument: Pac has moved up & looked good doing so. Pac is younger/faster & a better style matchup. Marquez is older/slower & unproven. Quite simple.
