    even before the pac fight, he always fought better after getting hurt.

    Pac dropped him 4x still couldnt finish him.

    Fraudulent Floyd fighting him at welter dropped him couldnt finish him.

    Legendary recuperating powers.

        I'd say Trinidad, you'd drop him and some how you end up regretting it

It's like the worst way to fight Marquez is to knock him down or hurt him. It focuses him.
          I thought of Trinidad a great deal when juxtaposed to Marquez, but it seemed that Trinidad was a product of poor footwork and never really hurt or anything, whereas Marquez just gets his block knocked off and somehow manages to keep the cobwebs from murking his **** up

              Certainly the best I've ever seen. Marquez has a heart made of titanium, you can never count him out.

                SRR. Vulnerable to the KD but never the KO, and tended to stop his opponents the same round they put him down.

We've seen guys get knock downed and get back up to win a fight, but I can hardly remember watching a fighter get knocked down so brutally but be able to storm back on such regularity that it makes me believe that when he touches the canvas, its like a bolt of energy for him.

                  So, JMM, greatest "recovery" fighter in the modern era/ever?

                    I saw him do that in one fight, and bring up that point as well. But more often than not,

                    if you knocked Tito down,

                    you were just begging to get f ucked up, and immediately.

                      marquez recuperating powers is more impressive than tito & its not even close.

                      tito could always rely on his strength & power, marquez never has those advantages with him when he was in there against pac & floyd, not to mention he was in his 30s & wayyyy past his prime fighting weight. All marquez has is his will, heart, & stamina doing it against bigger stronger guys.

                      marquez recuperating powers much more impressive than tito who is a grossly overrated boxer to begin with.
