    Don't think I've ever seen this one posted. Could Marquez's craft allow him to steal one from Mosley or is the 135 lbs version of Mosley just too much for Juan Ma to handle?

    I'd take Mosley comfortably here.

    Marquez was on a bad catch-22 at 135 and above IMO.

    He couldn't deal with taller boxers well because he couldn't lead, and he struggled badly against low-level pressure fighters who he really should've destroyed.

    Mosley would do both. Box him early and close in on him late, and the size difference would be ridiculous. Not to mention, that Mosley was arguably a better fighter all-round too. Certainly more talented.

    Can't see Marquez accomplishing much here and I wouldn't be surprised if he never saw the final bell.

    I could see this turning into a brutal mismatch.

    Mosley via ugly KO early to mid rounds.

    I don't see Mosley stopping Marquez early.

    I don't think any lightweight in history stops Marquez early, not even Duran.

    Mosley TKO 9-10 is more likely.

    Mosley is too fast, too big, too good

    Agreed with the consensus, Mosley is all wrong for Marquez.

    Marquez would take a beating and probably get stopped.
