Why Marquez will always be a step behind Pacquiao and Barrera

[Allucard]

Yes, getting up from 3 knockdowns in the first round, and battling back to deserve a draw (and in many eyes a win) isnt pushing urself when it matters.

Hell, Marquez clearly beat Barrera and many many people think he holds 2 wins over Pacquiao, myself included.

I know what he means, it's because Marquez is a pure counter puncher. He relies on other's mistakes, he doesn't press the fight with anything other than the jab and sometimes when he can throw something else, he doesn't. Hard to watch at times but he's an excellent counter puncher too.
2 wins vs Pac? lol maybe you meant 2 loses.

BTW: I guarantee that after the Casa fight all the Pac fans will state that the Casa fight is not a good win because Casa was old. Just wait for it.

If Pac was fighting Casa and beat him, the HATERS would say the same thing. The HATERS were also saying that before in other threads.

Concise decision over MAB (that morons ***** and whine about being close because they don't know how to score a fight without a knockdown or KO) or Manuel Medina. It will soon be a great victory over Joel Casamayor. Why?

I'm not going to bother stating the dodgy fights with Pac.

The same way you and others will state Marquez is old when they meet again (Pac and Marquez) am i right?

Over a HOW OLD Marco?

Not that old. He was coming off a really good 6 win streak and notable wins over Erik Morales and Rocky Juarez twice. Sure he was past his prime, but still he looked good in most of those bouts. Kinda like De La Hoya and Mayweather except Barrera was actually active.

He also has good wins over good people like Manuel Medina, Robbie Peden, Dereck Gainer, etc.

lol Marquez will never be a step behind anyone, aside from the fact every single one of his losses are controversal, his skills are off the charts. And his heart can't be questioned, lol cute thread though..

Ahem brother.

And Marquez is the oldest of the 3 Mexicans anyway.
