...and there is only one fight left that I have to rewatch and score (Chris John fight).
Here are the 3 losses I disagree with:
Freddie Norwood fight: in the whole fight not a lot happened, few punches were thrown and even fewer connected. But the bottom line is Marquez clearly won that fight because Norwood did nothing the whole fight. I scored it 8 rounds to 2 for Marquez with 2 rounds even. Norwood dropped Marquez once, Marquez dropped Norwood twice but only one knockdown was called by the ref.
3rd Pacquiao fight: clear win for Marquez in my opinion. The first 2 Pacquiao fights I did score for Pacquiao though.
Timothy Bradley fight: I had Marquez winning that fight very close. I have no problem with Bradley winning it closely either. But on my scorecard Marquez won the fight. If Bradley would have stayed active, he could have scored a wide decision, but he gave away the last 4 rounds on my scorecard.

So - I have to rewatch the Chris John fight this week and then I can tell you if Marquez should have either only 3 or only 4 losses on his record (instead of 7).
[Pro debut: Marquez lost by DQ, there is no footage of it so I cannot comment on it.]
Right now I think Marquez got robbed quite a few times because he was the B side in almost all of those fights, furthermore he is a counterpuncher who very often lets the opponent lead. But the bottom line is he shouldn't have those 7 losses on his record, at least according to my opinion.
EDIT: I rewatched Marquez vs Chris John last night and I scored it for Marquez 7 rounds to 4 with 1 round even. When the referee realised that Marquez was hurting John with bodyshots in the 2nd half of the fight, he deducted 2 points from Marquez for "lowblows" which were normal bodyshots. So even with those 2 stolen points, I have Marquez winning it.
