    Why all the mixed feelings about Juan Manuel Marquez?

    Ok lets be real, seems to me like Floyd fans are riding high on the JMM KO victory over Pac but never forget to mention how Floyd schooled Marquez. Pac fans want to claim Marquez is juicing but claim how great Pac is for fighting a dagerous fighter in JMM 4x's. The one thing Pac and Floyd fans have in common is that they both take cracks at JMM's resume "but" neither of them mention that he had the cajones to fight them both on their terms when neither of them wanted to fight each other. With that being said win, lose or draw JMM came out a better fighter and proved he will fight anyone, so why all the hate or at least why no recognition of his acheivements???

    Because in the world of the nuthuggers that overrun NSB, everything is related to Mayweather and Pacquiao. Marquez is only good as a way of pumping up one of those two fighters, and they don't care about anything else.

      Simple, you have two types of fans in here and around the world.

      Fan type 1:

      - The fan that has actually boxed or understands boxing and respects fighters for what they do. Understands the sacrifices they make and that triangle theories are for idiots. Understand that it's not only the style but the fighter carrying that style that will make the difference.

      Fan type 2:

      - A internet nerd that enjoys boxing but doesn't know the first thing about boxing or what sacrifices it takes to make it at the pro level. They compare boxers like they would trading cards and make ridiculous arguments based on who beat who and what will happen if so and so fight because of a common opponent.

      JMM is an ATG, so is Pac so is Mayweather. What's sad is we never got to see Pac vs May but we did get the privilege of seeing them in their primes. Should May fans take pride in Pac getting knocked out? Only if you are an idiot, we should be sad as boxing fans that we never got to see them fight both in in the prime of their careers.

        Because he juices and drinks his own pee, ****ing cheater!

        Nah, I really don't know. People are blinded by racial pride, excessive hype, and their own ******ity. Marquez never ducked anyone, always came to fight, and always put on an entertaining show...I mean we don't even have to get started on his skills as a boxer, that alone should be enough to earn respect.

              Not sure where you getting this from but its been clear throughout his career that Marquez is at least a HOF. Always has been, long before he decapitated Pacquiao and his smoke and mirror act. As far as I'm concerned, I haven't seen a fighter with a bigger heart to go along with the immense skill. I'd say he is up there with the likes of Chavez, just never got the recognition for it.

                pacquiao and mayweather aren't a risk for marquez, he makes big money off it and had something to prove vs pacquiao, he went into the floyd fight basically knowing he'd lose, when the money was dangled infront of his face he jumped at it, or rather jumped 2 weightclasses, and still said ok to floyd coming overweight

                    There isn't a fighter or fan who hates Marquez. It's just a few pissed of Pacquiao fanatics who accused Marquez of cheating, juicing etc, etc because Marquez caught Pac with an overhand right that knocked their hero's **** in.
