Is JMM underestimated or Over hyped?

[Technical_Skill]

i wouldnt say, barley. He didnt seem hurt. regardless he knocked him out. JMM gets hit alot, i agree, but he can take a shot and he dont quit or get discouraged. hes in your face all the time taking and giving . More than i can say for most 147ders. He shows no signs of weakness with Diaz than he did with Pac

He seemed hurt in round 2 (i think) where he nearly went down from a left hook.

Listen i have always championed guys like Marquez who fight the best, rather than guys like calzaghe who just make excuses all the time.

But talk of mayweather and 147 is too much, people talk about his fights with pacquaio but sometimes styles make fights, and he executed a good gameplan against a pacquaio that was (and still is to a degree) a one handed fighter, which was to circle away from the left lead. That doesnt translate into being able to live with the top guys at 147 who carry alot more weight in their shots, he doesnt have the freakish speed or power pac has to save him at that weight. He would get drawn into a fight and taken out.

Maybe it's because Diaz is such a good fighter himself? You cant sit here and tell me that Marquez has these huge holes in his defense based on the Diaz fight when Diaz himself has been punching holes in everyone's defense for years.

Thats what happens when you fight World Class level fighters.

100%! Diaz isnt a bum. You cant exspect to glove up with a boxer like Diaz and not take shots. Thats the game. Good job pistol whip!

you have to think that on his way up he is taking fights with true A class opponents. Size or not,he is making a statement. Impressively. Hes not rushing it. He is calling Mayweather out....NOW. kinda a sign that he is ready.
