Why is anybody surprised by Marquez’ incessant whining? After all, it’s been his MO for his entire boxing career. When Morales and Barrera were the stars of Mexican boxing, Marquez was an unrelenting crybaby about being underappreciated by his own countrymen.
Mexico has a long history of amazing champions with fans appreciating aggressive action fighters that have “huevos” and bring the action. JMM’s counter-punching style is counter to this heritage, which is why he was predominately ignored during the Morales/Barrera era. By the time the 1st Pac/JMM fight rolled around, Pacquiao had already been labeled the “mexecutioner.” Mexican fan’s needed to rally around somebody – anybody that could put up a good fight against the typhoon from the Philippines. This is the ONLY reason why Marquez has a fan base.
Marquez will never be a Morales, Barrera, and certainly not even in the same league as Chavez. The fact that he even brings his own name into contention in the 2nd installment of 24/7 demonstrates the level of narcissism that JMM has cultivated.
JMM will whine about this loss, as he does with most every loss. Yes, it’s great to win, but knowing how to loose gracefully is a true test of a man’s character; of which JMM has none.
Instead of taking Yoga, Marquez needs to take a 101 class is sportsmanship followed by a 102 class in human etiquette. I feel sorry for the son that he is raising. He seems like a bright kid, but the apple never falls that far from the tree. So when the kid goes off the college and get’s a bad grade on a crap essay, you already know he’ll start whining like the old man. It’s a learned behavior!
There are 2 types of people in this world. Those that make excuses for everything that is wrong in life – this extends to finances, marriage, careers, and obviously sports. And those that are accountable for their success and failures. We already know which one Marquez is. Which one are you?
Bradley won the fight. Marquez needs to show some class and grace in defeat.
