JMM was class!

[Shovelhook]

So, I am new to the world of boxing and as a consequence missed the careers of MAB, Morales and JMM etc.

Just caught a couple of JMM's older fights + a greatest hits video and realised:

****ing hell, that guy was a monster! How accurate were his punches? Also, how many angles did he throw from? The speed was incredible!

I'll admit, I began watching the lighter weight classes thanks to Amir Khan. So my sense of perspective is limited.

And as much as I do like Khan and Bradley etc. I shudder to think what would've happened if these guys had got into the ring with JMM back when he was younger.

I'm sure I'll unearth information on many other greats of boxing, but so far I can say that I've never seen anyone throw like I saw JMM throw, especially when it came to pure exchanges.

Damnit, why didn't I get into boxing earlier? I could've seen all his fights live.

He's the most precise combination puncher, best offensive fighter right now in my opinion.

[DR.ORGYY]

yea hes a great fighter

[Kevin Malone]

He's still one of the best. Watch his next fight, we'll probably see him in the next 3-4 months.

Holy ****; who is the guy he just knocked down at around 1:33-1:35? Those were three incredible punches.

No wonder you're nuthugging a piss drinking bum who ducked his betters, El Terrible and MAB.

Will do. It is just that after hearing a ton of people on this board suggesting that Khan should be ashamed if he ever took a fight with JMM + watching the beating vs Mayweather (ok, it was Mayweather and JMM presumably had to climb quite high in weight) I just got this impression that he might be considered past it.

Like I said, haven't seen a recent fight of his, so my view of his current abilities was coloured by what a lot of people on these boards say.

If he is still half the fighter that I saw in those clips above, would it be fair to say that he could still be competitive against the top 147ers?

Yeah, I'm working through El Terrible and MAB's fights too. And yes, they look incredible too.

Regardless of you mouthing off about nuthuggery and piss-drinking etc. my point still stands. The guy seemed to be able to fire off a 4-5 combination like it were breathing air.

Manuel Medina, they got the whole fight on Youtube.

Yeah, Marquez is the man. Watch JMM-Katsidis. He's still got it.
