    I think Juan Manuel Marquez is clearly better, but not much better. Just clearly. He is one of the best body punchers in the lower classes, one of the best combination punchers in the sport, one of the best counterpunchers in the sport, and p4p one of the best in the sport.

    thoughts?
    Hard to compare the two, just like apples and oranges.

    They're both great fighters though, I'm a fan of both of them (Who isn't?).

        You're dead on with this post. Someone else also said in this thread the Rafael is more willing to stay close and trade which I would agree with too, not that JMM doesn't do his share, but I think that JMM is more the boxer and Rafael is more the brawler.

          I haven't really watched enough of Rafael to know. But from what other people say, it looks like Juan is the better of the two.

            Right now, JMM is the better of the two. He's the one who most recently has outboxed the better level of opposition in Barrera and Juarez.

            It's been a while since Rafa has fought Austin and Johnson......the two best fighters he's ever fought. Juarez is a better fighter than Vasquez IMO. And I don't know why people have Vasquez ranked on P4P lists when his only victory outside of the blown up Rafa was a washed up/blown up Larios.

              lol clearly better but not much. doesnt even make sense.
              JMM, by the way.

              As for what I quoted, yes it does. I can clearly be taller than someone, but not by much.

                JMM is the better boxer by a mile but Rafael is more exciting and fun to watch IMO.

                    True.....you may be being sarcastic but I'm not......If you don't really know just admit it instead of acting like a ****head and arguing a point you know little about.

                      I've watched enough of both of them to know who is the better of the two, so don't act like a ****head and jump to conclusions on people you know little about.
