Juan Manuel Marquez vs. Rafael Marquez

[2501]

who is the better fighter? no doubt both are superior, intelligent boxers but who edges out the other? from what i saw in the Pacquio fight and Barrera fight, I'd have to go with Juan. He just seems smarter and "mas vivo" in the ring. Understand the situation he's in and what he needs to do.

Rafael Marquez is the better one in my opinion, I like him better. And barrera got robbed against Juan Marquez

[ferocity]

True but i think what allowed Juan to survive besides his heart and skills is that i belive he has a better chin then Rafael. And i think the ref could have let the fight go further in Rafas last fight.

I thought the Barrera fight should had been a draw but the way Juan handled that fight impressed me.

Juanma si more intellingent inside the ring....but both are ****ing offensive machines...and Juanma's defense in his natural style(not the more agressive one he's been fighting lately) is superior to rafa's.....but raf has more power p4p.....i dunno, i give the edge to juanma....cus he has never been KO'ed...

Barrera-Marquez i felt could have gone either way. Marquez clearly didn't fight his fight and in fact he doesn't fight his fight anymore, i mean now he is an aggreessive counter puncher.

Both are brothers. But Juan got the jeans with the better chin. But Rafael is just as skilled as Juan. Both are great.

Pacquiao will send both of them to retirement together with Morales and Barrera fishing in Mexico.

thank you for your insightful contribution. im glad that pinoys have someone to ideolize. only problem is..................................who comes next after pac?

Both of them are amazingly skillful and crafty fighters with inring intelligence that is second to none. I'd also give the edge to Juan Manuel since he's never been KO'd and has had more high profile fights. But Rafael is right there behind him and if he beats Vazquez in the final fight of their trilogy, I could forsee him over taking Juan Manuel.
