You'd have to go all the way back to....ORLANDO SALIDO.....and im not sure Salido was even in his prime yet back in 2004.
Marquez is by far the most overrated boxer currently.
Dont get me wrong, he's a HOF boxer, blah blah blah
Like ive been saying, take all the Pacquiao fights out of Marquezs resume and his resume is mediocre at that..
Marquez made his name off Pacquiao PERIOD..
casamayor was past prime.......katsidis never really was all that good to begin with either.....
lol ppl forget marquez is past prime too, dude was like 35.
JMM has been elevated by the Pacquiao rivalry but he's still a great fighter. His combination punching is simply beautiful.
Watching that video,,, just WOW. Jmm has some of the sickest combinations ever... Amazing,,, perfect shot selection, hitting guys from all angles, both hands, body and head,,, just really marvelous stuff that u don't see very often or maybe once a generation.. I actual think he throws better counter combinations than Hopkins and floyd
You mean the guy Pac ducked who was considered the best at 135 but instead Pac fought David freakin' Diaz just to pick a cheap title? Yea that was a good win for Marquez.
Lol Juan Diaz had lost his titles vs Nate Campbell before Pac-JMM II. How did Pac duck him?
