Intereesting parallell between the two as it wasn't until later in their careers (more so Marquez) that they got to face their best opposition. Trinidad had great contenders and fellow belt holders in his class but for some reason never fought them. He never fought Whitaker, Page, Lopez, Quartey, Rivera, even McGirt and Chavez.
Only really fighting Carr early on and Oscar in his last welterweight fight. While Quartey, Whitaker, Delahoya, Lopez, Rivera, etc. had fights against one another. Odd no one really points that out.
PS Marquez is greater.
