If Marquez beat Pacquiao where is he as a mexican boxer?

With guys like Julio Cesar Chavez Finito Lopez Jose Napoles (not sure if he qualifies ) Salvador Sanchez Carlos Zarate Ruben Olivares Miguel Canto Marco Antonio Barrera Erik Morales even Daniel Zaragoza putting JMM above all of them is a pretty bold statement ...but I'll be unreasonably biased just this once :D

Styles ...... and barely beating is still beating.... also you can't really make that argument not when JMM looked a little over the hill and was older than Barrera now if JMM was prime, and 10 years younger then sure thats a decent argument. The fact that Marquez has been in just as many wars as Barrera and is still dominating at his age says alot.

I would rank him with top five ATG mexican boxers.

Marquez is already the most skilled Mexican boxer IMO. If he beats Pacquiao, I don't see how you not put him in the top 5.

well he barely beat a shot MAB so... Styles ...... and barely beating is still beating.... also you can't really make that argument not when JMM looked a little over the hill and was older than Barrera now if JMM was prime, and 10 years younger then sure thats a decent argument.

If JMM beats him again, he has to be considered the greatest Mexican of all time. Finito was great, but didn't have marquee opponents. Chavez was great, but didn't beat as many quality names as Marquez and lacked the technique of Marquez. Sanchez died at 23 and didn't accomplish enough to be rated so highly. Morales is good but ineffectual beyond 126. Barrera is good but ineffectual beyond 126. Green k..................

:haha: ....

If beat Pac no matter how he did it he would be honored with his own holiday in Mexico. It would be an upset of grand proportions. He would be > Horchata.

If he beats the # 1 P4P, the Fighter of The Decade, and a top ATG, in his prime while going up 2 weight classes at the age of 38 and getting a title in his 4th Weight class. Then yes IMO he would surpass all other Mexicans, with the exception of the Half Mexican Duran Take into account i'm extremely biased because hes my favorite boxer.

Marquez is not greater than Barrera. thats pretty arguable .... and He is

I personally would be shocked if he wins the fight since i don't think he handle Pac over 140 pounds, and should have tried to get atleast a 142 pound catchweight, If he does beat Pac i think he may move ahead of Barrera and Morales, since EM did get KO losses twice to Pac. I don' t think however he will surpass the big 4 Salvador Sanchez, Ruben Olivares, Julio Cesar Chavez, and Ricardo Lopez. But you can make a debate about who is standing in the top 4.
