I always over looked him just because I didn't always root for him, but he is a wonderful action fighter, though a counter fighter. He comes to fight and his technique is smooth, love the combos. Sweet uppercuts too.
He also has underrated power.
Whats your thoughts?:boxing:
overrated...
his best "wins" are a draw and a close loss to pac. he didn't do **** before that.
lost to chris john in between those fights..
followed by a win againts an old-ass casa, and a fat overrated diaz.
:poke:
Since 2007, Soto has challenged Marquez, and Marquez fought Soto's "leftovers" (Rocky Juarez).
Marquez knows that Soto would brutalize him like no one else could.
and the reason is simple. Soto is the most vicious bodypuncher in boxing right now.
Pac and Floyd couldn't attack JMM's body, the way Soto could.
Marquez has bigger fish to fry then Soto.
He's trying to get a fight with Bradley or Alexander if I'm not mistaken...
Those two > Soto.
Doesn't have the speed, better chin, or great reach advantage over his opponents but the man still takes on the elite and gives them lessons. That takes skill.
Juan Manuel Marquez is in my opinion the last great Mexican boxer around today...great counter puncher, very smart, timing is good, beautiful combos. How can anyone not like this man, he fights his heart out everytime...nothing but respect for Marquez, even though he beat The Baby Bull in our hometown while I was on the first row...I cheered my lungs out for him and so did everyone there, I can't remember hearing a single boo for him! Waaaar Marquezzzzz!!:boxing:
