What will your opinion of Marquez would be...

With JMM, what you see is what you have, a very good to great fighter not quite on the level of his contemporaries. I'm fine with that.

Marquez was already done since his fight against Floyd. He is just NOT a welterweight...not saying Floyd is the cause of Marquez being done, just pointing out that Marquez has been past it for a while and is competing at a weight class on which he clearly does not belong. It would make no difference if he fought a couple of bums for his last fights or not, as his legacy has already been sealed. Nothing will ever take away his achievements.

He's reached that stage where he can do what he likes. A couple of extra paychecks and a showreel KO of Manny Pacquiao means he has probably already acquired a legendary status in Mexico.

It won't add or take away from his reputation. He should have retired after the Pac fight but since the Bradley loss, he can do what he wants. That picture perfect career ending is already out the window but he can fight no names, win/lose it would barely affect his legacy IMO.

If for his last 2, he fights no names? This, after refusing to take fights from Provo and Alvarado for not adding anything to his legacy. No way is he going to have a fight with 2 GB champs. I would like to see it happen but it won't. If he fights no names for his last 2, seriously, he's got to be a ducker on the level of Floyd. WTF? :poke:

ban this fuc8ing idiot JMM is a living legend. I would care if he retired or did take it easy

He's already done enough for his career, at this point losing would hurt his ego and put a bad taste in his fans mouth. Revenge on Tim would put himself at ease and then he would just fight a bum in Mexico and retire.

Marquez is pasy the point of needing a Alvarado or Ruslan fight they do nothing for him. Only Floyd Mayweather would truly boost his resume as a win; Bradley would move it a bit. Manny is his shining achievement besides beating Floyd he won't top that.

He should have been retired. I don't care if he picks some no names at this point.

who can possibly fight that are "no names"? i never really liked marquez for stocking pacquiao and whining about being cheated when he never truly was but he has put in his work and at age 40 doesn't need to prove nothing he gave bradley the closest fight to date way closer than any of the pac man fights and if doesn't get a rematch he might as well retire knocking out the number 4-5 p4p champ and inching away a near victory over the number 3 p4p champion

Nothing against Prov and Alvarado but youre goint to evaluate Marquez career if he dosent fight them? If he did fight them I dont think they offer anything to add prestige to his career. If anything they need him, but i would like to the Prov fight as he comes to win and comes forward making for a spectacular fight with the veteran Marquez.

I would like to see it happen but it won't. If he fights no names for his last 2, seriously, he's got to be a ducker on the level of Floyd. Oh did he retire when he was at the top of his game in his prime and competition heated up? Nope, so never put him on the same level as floyd as far as duckings concerned. The man has done what he needs to do to be where he is at if it takes fighting 2 bums to get out of his contract with top rank to make a fight with gb and get what he wants so be it hes earned the right to do so. Now the only problem is he may end up losing to no one and derail his plan but he has paid his dues now its his time to be selfish
