[DUnknown1]

No one but Mexicans knew who he was? LOL



Some guy says no one knows who Juanma is, , he is only one of boxings top prospects no matter race. Yet, some bum is gonna defeat him, yea right


Marquezs careerProfessional career
Márquez began his professional boxing career with an eighth round knockout loss to former WBC Bantamweight champion Victor Rabanales.[1]

gained recognition by defeating former and later future superflyweight world champion Mark Johnson (40-1-0) by a split decision. In a rematch, Márquez knocked out Johnson in the eighth round in an IBF bantamweight title eliminator bout.

[edit] Bantamweight
In February 15, 2003, he came from behind to knock out Tim Austin (25-0-1) to claim the IBF Bantamweight title, in what was considered to be a big upset.[1] Márquez went on to successfully defend his title seven times. His notable title defenses were two victories over former light flyweight champion Mauricio Pastrana, a decision win over Ricardo Vargas and two knockout victories over former IBO Bantamweight champion Silence Mabuza, whom he defeated for the second time on August 5, 2006 in his final defense.[1]

[edit] Super Bantamweight
See also; Israel Vázquez-Rafael Márquez rivalry
Márquez moved up in weight division to challenge and defeat WBC Superbantmweight champion Israel Vázquez in seven rounds. However, in a rematch on July, 2007, Márquez lost his title after being defeated by Vazquez in the sixth round when the referee stopped the fight. The rematch was named the 2007 fight of the year. In the rubber match of their trilogy, Rafael lost a split decision, with scores of 113-112, 114-111 Vazquez, 114-111 Marquez. Marquez may not have lost this bout if not for a point deduction for a low blow in the tenth round. Marquez and promoter Gary Shaw claim that this hit was on the belt line and should not have elicited any deductions. Marquez was able to knock Vazquez down for the first time in the trilogy in this third fight, but Vazquez in turn put Marquez down in the 12th round, securing the victory and giving Marquez his fifth defeat.

Márquez was ranked number three in The Ring magazine's pound-for-pound rankings.[2] and ranked as the Ring Magazine's number one Bantamweight boxer. He later became the top ranked boxer in the Super Bantamweight division before his loss to Vazquez.

[edit] Featherweight
Márquez was inactive for over a year as he recuperated from the trilogy with Vazquez. On May 23, 2009, he returned to the ring by scoring a 3rd round TKO over Jose Francisco Mendoza (21-2-2) in the featherweight division.

In the first week of May 2010, Marquez announced his 4th and final match with Israel Vasquez.[3] After three epic battles, Vazquez and Marquez fought for a fourth time on May 22, 2010 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California. The bout was appropriately titled "Once and Four All" and carried live by Showtime. Marquez scored a third round TKO victory over Vazquez to even their series at two wins each.[4][5] Afterwards, Marquez stated: "The fifth one could be a possibility if the fans vote for it. That is what I live for. Israel Vasquez is a great fighter."

Only holded two titles in his whole career, Juanma did that in 29 fights, lesson is, don't hype someone into their not

You mean held.

All I know is that Marquez didn't duck Vasquez, not even after three wars.
and JuanMa has fought Caballero how many times? (Oh... yeah he still hiding)

[MOTHER DUCKER]

Rafa>his brother

[Pin Galarga]

He beat undefeated Tim Austin and had 2 great fights against Mark Johnson. Beside that HE has fought the best battamweights of his era, so I'm not sure what is your point amigo.

[Chaconlittlered]

Two titles in two division in 29 fights one question why not fight Caballero instead on Rafa you say he is all hype hell Caballero even said he would fight juanma in either island puerto Rico or New York cause we all know puerto rican need all the advatage

PENDEJO

[Toney Loc]

[Pin Galarga]

I don't know man, I have read some ignorant posts both ways, but have to tell you that I have read more hate threads against Puerto Ricans than any other.

This post is an embarrassment and grounds for a permanent ban imo.

You see , i only made a thread claiming he was not shot. ut this got out of hand.

I like JMM over Rafa.

I know Rafa was in some great wars. And ive watched some fights prior to that trilogy.

I dont claim he is a legend. he is definitely a HOF.

But I just dont agree with some of the posters that already are discrediting Juanma if he was to win.

I know I said Juanma will beat him but thats just to **** around (pushing buttons) , I know this is boxing and anything can happen , and Ill be the first one to say Lopez is vulnerable and he gets sloppy.

But I just hate the fact that ****s only see one way.

Lopez had been calling them out for years. And now that they see him blooming and see that they can squeeze the big bucks by fighting him is when he decides to fight.

All the Juanma ducked cab talk , but no one seems to talk about all the years that Lopez called them out in a respectful way.

the only reason they point out Cab is because he called Lopez a *** and a bunch of names , and that goes hand on hand with their ******ity and they just love it.

But no one talks about Lopez coming up and calling out their names. No , no one talks about that.

But once the fight is signed they do talk about marquez being "shot" and how that is the only way Lopez would fight them.

which is a bit hypocrite and biased IMO
