Biggest wins were Manuel Medina and Derrick Gainer before beating an old Barrera last year and a shot Casamayor this year.

Mexico's 3 Greats? Maybe Big 2 and 1/2......

Erik Morales = Marco Antonio Barrera.........Marquez is not on their level of greatness.

too late for him.

there are no hameds and kelleys and zaragoza's left for him to beat.

barrera was a champion 8 years before marquez won his first belt (he won a vacant belt).

morales was a champion 6 years before marquez won that vacant paper belt.

Skillwise he's better but when it comes to their resumes JMM is not even close.

i wouldn't say better.

he's a better counter puncher than those 2 but i wouldn't say he's better.

skillwise he's on their level. greatness and legacy......he isn't even close.

i'm just tired of people saying marquez is as great or greater than erik and marco. he's not.

not even if he unifies lightweight and won jr. welterweight title to become the first mexican to win four titles in four division?

he's not gonna do that.

the guys at 135 and 140 are too big for him. if he does that then of course though i don't see him beating campbell , diaz or any of the guys at 140.

my point is guys are saying he's greater or as great as erik and marco now. that's just not the case.

**Silencers** · 12-23-2008, 06:29 AM

Marquez isn't on their level resume wise, his skills are just as good, if not better though.

i think he has the skills to accomplish that. not too impossible for it to happen.

just for the record, when they retired id bet jmm would be remembered the better of the three
