I dont see how anyone could not love JMM. This guy is representative of all thats good and true.
You dont like JMM, you dont like life. -
The man has everything you should look for in a fighter ; He's got insane in-ring skills, a heart that never quits, balls the size of watermelons, and he's humble, respectful, and always delivers the goods.
I'm glad to see him getting his shine on as of late, considering how long he dwindled in obscurity.Comment

I'm pulling for JMM here. He deserves all the credit in the world for having the balls to take on the much larger Mayweather, and I hope he wins. It seems improbable but that's why boxing is the greatest sport there is, upsets can and do happen!
Props to JMM for being a true champion and risking it all against fighters he could conceivably lose to, unlike some braggadocious "champs" who cherry pick and avoid true threats.Comment

I don't see how anybody who doesn't like him could claim to be a boxing fan.

Firstly, to make an impression, and give fans something to talk about. How horrible would it be if in his big comeback fight, he fought like he did against Baldy?
Secondly, while Floyd is the better boxer in this match, Marquez is no slouch himself. If it becomes a technical, punch/counterpunch type of fight, Marquez has the talent to take some rounds from him, IMO.Comment
