How do you see Marquez' legacy???

[vacon04]

He will be known for fighting only come forward fighters like Salido, Juan Diaz, Katsidis, Juarez or old shot slick fighters like Cassamayor.

Barrera beat him, Chris John beat him. Marquez duck outside fighters like Khan and RG and would rather fight David Diaz, Peterson or pillow puncher Cuenca.

And he will be known for drinking his own urine and only wanting to fight Pacquiao, Pacquiao, Pacquiao.

Casamayor wasn't shot when he fought against Marquez, and how was he ducking fighters like Khan? Khan is not even in the same weight class as Marquez. Let's not forget that Marquez is a lightweight, so I don't see how he was ducking fighters that were in other divisions.

something like mccallum's if you ask me...

a bonafide HOF who would be underrated for the forseeable future...

he doesn't have the notoriety of erik and marco, the undefeated streak of PBF, or the big wins of manny...

Just like another poster said, top 15 mexican fighters of all time.

There are some pretty wide stances on Marquez, coming from all angles. Some say Marquez is an ATG and one of the best of this era, some say he's not an ATG but he is a HOF, and some say he's neither and that his resume is overrated.

Marquez' wins: Robbie Peden, Manuel Medina, Derrick Gainer, Orlando Salido, Victor Polo, Marco Antonio Barrera, Rocky Juarez, Joel Casamayor, Juan Diaz, and Michael Katsidis.

Marquez' losses and draws: Freddie Norwood, Manny Pacquiao I (draw), Chris John, Manny Pacquiao II, Floyd Mayweather, and Manny Pacquiao III.

It should be noted that JMM's fights with Norwood, John, and all 3 Pacquiao bouts, were all controversial. Most believe that Marquez beat Norwood, and many believe he beat John, and most believe he deserved at least one decision over Manny Pacquiao.

So, how do you see JMM??? An ATG and a HOF, HOF but not quite an ATG, or neither???

Anyone that can't at least agree that JMM is a HOF boxer and an ATG of the sport either doesn't like him for some personal reason or doesn't really follow the sport too much.

Marquez is an ATG and a HOF. You can't blame him for poor decisions. He beat Norwood and John, and deserved at least one Pacquiao decision, at the very least.

He's wons 6 titles in 3 weight classes. Casamayor was a pretty underrated win. Joel was not past it in 2008. He wasn't prime, but he was still good.

He can still get more wins as well.

A lock Boxing HOF, and a ATG of Mexican boxing.

Stamp it.

[LeG00N]

ATG.... no doubt.

[Pacquiao'd]

ATG, HOF who Ranks above EM and MAB

[Fearless]

At the moment, I love Marquez (no ****) as a fighter, but at the moment, he is like borderline ATG (he just hasn't made it yet). I guess both Morales and Barrera overshadows him.
