What did you guys think of him saying JMM was the best of this great featherweight era beating Manny Pacquiao twice, Barrera, and having Hamed and Morales "relentlessly ducking him".

im used to hearing may more non sensical opinions on here at least ten times a day.. so it hardly registers to me.
i dont think it's a crazy statement, hes entitled to his opinion, maybe he should have left out the word "relentlessly" -
JMM sure wasn't as popular as those guys, but prime for prime if they fought I would put my money on marquez anyday. Emmanuel Steward has openly said that hamed ducked marquez.Comment

JMM fought well enough that he could have beaten Pac in their 2 fights, but he didn't. He never got a chance to fight Erik or Naz so we'll never know. Just like the 2 Pac fights, the MAB-JMM fight was close and could have gone either way but just happened to go to Marquez instead of his opponent. No more decisive than Pac's win over him last week. And in that fight he got dropped just like he did in both Pac fights. I respect the **** outta Marquez and agree that he's great but he and Pac share the top spot in the featherweight quartet with Marco and Erik a slight rung below IMO.Comment

I agree JMM is probally the Best...his style is hard for anyone and pacman has balls for fighting him while hamed ducked him for so long.
JMM is probally the greatest counter puncher around...he can throw some combos in succession but from different angles while maintaining his distance.
IF JMM fought the way he fought Pacman against barrera he would win a decision comfortably it might not of been exciting and a snore fest but he fought barrera aggressive because he wanted to market himself as an action fighter to raise his asking price.Comment

I don't remember Morales or Barrera ever ducking him. Hamed did though, Marquez was his mandatory for over a year and Hamed refused to fight him and instead fought what he thought was the 'easier' option in Barrera. Kellerman was sometimes painful to listen to last night, he didn't have a good night.Comment

There is a case to be made. I made a thread about this, and the only problem is that people forget what monsters both MAB and EM were in there primes. People are remembering them based on how they fought Pac. In there primes all three beat Pac, maybe even stop him. So seeing as how JMM didnt get to fight either of them in there primes, its hard to judge. But a case can be made. As far as him (and Bob Papa) saying that JMM won both fights against Pac, he is right. Most fair minded people can admit he should have won both fights. If you take the emotion out of it, they were both fairly easy to score. Was he ducked? Sure he was, which is why it took him so long to get a big fight. If the judges had brains he would be undefeated right now.Last edited by Motofan; 03-24-2008, 01:08 AM.Comment

no one ****in' ducked JMM.
He was nobody back when Hamed was still fighting.
Wasn't even on the radar.
Like I heard kayjay say one time about Pernell Whitaker - Oscar DelaHoya. Over time, people say Whitaker was robbed. No he wasn't. THe decision was as clear as day.
Same principles with this.
If anyone can find me a shred of evidence, i'll give you a hundred bucks via paypal.Comment
