Juan Manuel Marquez: record, next fight and profile →
Former four division world champion Erik Morales is a living legend in Mexican boxing. Morales, 43-years-old, retired from boxing in 2012, after getting knocked out in his rematch with Danny Garcia at Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
One of the great mysteries that Mexican boxing will have forever is what would have happened if four-time world champions Erik 'El Terrible' Morales and Juan Manuel 'Dinamita' Marquez would had met in the ring. But a common opponent, three-time champion Marco Antonio Barrera, gave his version of what could have happened in the ring.
If Mikey Garcia gets the opportunity he has long wanted, he would approach Manny Pacquiao in a similar manner to how Juan Manuel Marquez boxed the Filipino southpaw. Mexico’s Marquez, lauded for his ring IQ and precision, knocked Pacquiao unconscious in the sixth round of their fourth fight seven years ago. Their first three 12-round fights were extremely competitive contests that resulted in a split draw in May 2004, a split-decision win for Pacquiao in March 2008 and a majority-decision victory for Pacquiao in November 2011.
