Let's face it, in their primes, Barrera and Morales were MUCH better fighters than JMM. JMM should have lost to Barrera but got given a gift, we all know who really won that fight.
JMM obviously thinking he's taking a tune up fight by fighting Morales next but I wouldn't count out Eric just yet. WAR MORALES!
JMM was just as skilled if not more so than both Morales and Barrera.
Is just that JMM was very technical and didn't really get into an all out war with his opponents like EM and MAB did. He had good defense and used, angles, skills, boxing IQ. While IM and MAB were the opposite they loved going to war. This is a reason why JMM has lasted longer than both. When JMM started losing a step, and got older, and his skills diminished he changed his style to a more fan friendly style. This is why he wasn't as popular as those 2.
JMM is a poor man Ricardo Lopez. But, don't get it twisted he was still just as skilled if not more so than EM and MAB.
You're entitled to your opinion, and I'll respect that. What I'm about to say isn't a personal attack, but I disagree with you.
Another theory could be that Marquez has lasted longer because he didn't do **** for the better part of his career. Look at how young Morales and Barrera were when they were ripping each other apart. The Junior Joneses, Kevin Kelleys, Barreras, Chavezes, Pacquiaos. What was Juan doing at this point in his career?
Toiling in their shadows, pretty much. He wasn't a hot commodity, he wasn't fighting top quality opposition. He was essentially biding his time. Both Morales and Barrera burned out sooner, but also burned brighter than Marquez ever will, and I don't think outlasting them makes him better by any means.
There's a reason for that.
Morales started young, had a terrific career, and retired young. Same with Barrera. Marquez lost his first professional fight for God's sake. He wasn't on anyone's mind. When the other two retire, all of a sudden Marquez is somebody. That's no coincidence.
Nobody ducked Marquez; he was an absolute non-entity.

Pretty much, Marquez is the "default" mexican champion as of right now.
I know your a long time Morales fan.
What's your thought on all these guys claiming Morales ducked JMM?
I mean all today these guys were coming left and right with these claims.....

Morales in his prime would've KTFO JMM.

JMM may beat Morales but to say DESTROY? i highly doubt it. he may be shot and way past his prime but i could see JMM winning the same way he beat Barrera.
Err? JMM is not a warrior? Erik is out boxing no one. JMM got knocked down multiple times and also endured a broken nose by your hero, and still managed to teach him a boxing lesson. I'd rate JMM's heart over Morales and Barrera even though they all have HUGE hearts. You're a hater, boxing is extremely lucky to have JMM. LoL you get mad when people hate on Pac but yet you get a free pass? Prime Morales v Prime JMM would've been a real close match up, pactard.
LOL @ so called fans hating on Pac for fighting Mosley and giving props to JMM for fighting Morales :)
I don't think any Pac fan thinks JMM has a chance against Pac at his current weight so why would they care. Morales has the heart of a warrior, JMM has the mouth of a whiney biitch, come on Erik, you can out box this fool.

Another Pactard making a hate thread about JMM, how suprising! It sucks that most of you can't think for yourselves, just a bunch of mindless drones. Reminds me of the fucking alien bugs from starship troopers.
Well you failed lol, Pac is 10x better than Morales, Barrera, JMM, Margarito, Cotto... hmm the list could keep going.
Anyway, back on topic, war morales!
How is he 10x better than some one he fought to a draw and won a controversial split decision over?
A lesson in what? Morales last good year was 2005, he lost 3 times in a row after that fight. We're in 2011 now, the only lesson will be taught by Marquez.
-Kirby-;9896361']Well obviously it doesn't, I just wanna make you mad for disrespecting Marquez. :)

You need to realize there's more to boxing than just hating on Pacquiao, he has nothing to do with this thread.

-Kirby-;9896341']Yup. He was also 10x better than Pacquiao.

I know that's the sad reality, but I'm hoping Erik can at least give a good showing, in his prime he was so much better than JMM.
Yup. He was also 10x better than Pacquiao.
