if Juan Manuel Marquez wins a title at 140, is he an ATG?

[Zarco]

I know some will say that he is already an ATG, but for the most part it seems like hes not an ATG with the majority.

So what do you guys think? He would be the first Mexican to win championships in 4 divisions. NO OTHER mexican has done this, not julio cesar chavez, not ricardo lopez, not erilk morales, not barrera....no one. And for him to do all of this at age 36, not being a natural jr welter, heck not even a natural light weight, people were saying he didnt look his best at light weight. He already moved up 2 weight divisions to meet the largest mayweather we have seen and gave a valient effort for a decision loss.

Yeah I think he's borderline now so that should easily be enough to push him over the edge.

I reckon he can do it too. Urango, Alexander and Khan should be easy pickings for him really. Bradley would give anyone trouble but I'd put my money on JMM in that one too.

[RingTech01]

depends on who he beats. almost anyone can snatch a belt nowadays.

[street bully]

He should take on Alexander or Bradley.

He needs two big wins to get in!!!!!!!!!!!

He needs two big wins to get in!!!!!!!!!!!

Who would you suggest as the two out of interest?

[MOTHER DUCKER]

No.. basically your saying he becomes an ATG if he beats AMir Khan

Someone show me his resume and tell me why he deserves to be an ATG, HOF sure ATG i don't buy it.

The thing is the guys at 135 and 140 have not accomplish much yet, so beating any of those champs wont be enough.


he needs to beat Pacquiao for sure and lets say, Bradley or a unified champ, not a single champ. Because hm beating Khan or Alexander at this point means ****!!!!!

[Joe2608]

If he beat someone of Bradley's calibre then yes, but i don't think anyone else is good enough to make him great.

That’s a tough question. Historically, to be the first to do it says something but a lot of it depends on who he beat. As of now, looking at the list of belt holders, none of them are ATG or just plain great. Maybe in a few years once they’ve built up their records and have some good wins but as of now they are good wins but not great wins.
