Is Juan M. Marquez popular in Mexico?

He's known, but I wouldn't call him a super star. He came up in the Morales/Barrera era and his style wasn't fan friendly. Saul Alvarez has more fame than he does at this point.

No, nobody knows him over there

Yea, but Saul's fans are all regional. Chances are a wider array of Mexicans know JMM more.
