      Dude, the fact that he threw them alone shows what kind of skill JMM has. Look at some of the openings he DID land on Diaz. Not a large margin of error, and JMM still connected. Fuck Lamps, son, I know what I saw.

        i dont think he is, but hes had is fair share of overhypers claiming hes not good enough. I must of misunderstood you on the last...hearns vs JMM in a fight; Hearns all the way...but can JMM do What Hearns could do id have to say yes. My bad if i read the question wrong.

          On these forums and probably other no doubt, he hasnt looked great in either of his fights at 135, particularly against casamayor where casamayor was winning then tried to stalk him down for no reason and kept getting tagged, he was on his way to loss in that fight imo.

          In the diaz fight, he was taking a pounding, then he got off some could body shots, diaz couldnt close distance as quick and marquez found space for counters and combos.

          He is one of the best in the sport, but talk of a chance against floyd (assuming floyd in his prime) and chances at 147 are crazy, he doesnt have the defence he once had, diaz was hitting him with left hooks galore and casamayor couldnt miss him with the left hand, he's lost something defensively. I just dont think there is anyone at 135 that can expose those flaws yet.

              I would say JMM is rated just right on this forum! Basically everyone has a ton of respect for the guy and know that marquez is one the best technical fighters of all time! He's probably the only fighter on this board that isnt overrated or underrated!

Just because pac moved up to 147, people think he can do the same, it doesnt always work like that, what pac brings is a mix of incredible speed and power, which i dont think marquez has.

                However Marquez went to 135 and beat the best two fighters there in his first 2 fights, for that, he deserves big props.
                Did you see any of the Pac JMM fights??? What are you thinking.

                  I can throw 3 uppercuts, point is, its wether they land that counts, and i think he threw them near the centre of the ring, not on ropes or anything like that.

                  Credit to marquez, but Diaz beat him up in the 1st half of that fight by landing the same punches over and over again. He deserves credit too.

                    Im talking about 135 pounds,

                    And yes, i did see him get hit with the same punch 3 times in 1 round, go down, and then adjust.

                    I dont know what these has to with people stating he can live with mayweather or guys at 147.
