Being 1 rd ahead on all the cards doesn't matter when you get KO'd. Mickey Bey was much further ahead on all the cards, as was Meldrick Taylor when he fought Chavez Sr. Being ahead is a moot point, and in hindsight everything is clearer. People were cheering him on to try to stop Marquez, but now its " he got sloppy" after the KO.
I agree that Marquez is excellent against brawlers, probably at his best, but he has beaten boxers in his career as well. He wouldn't be a first ballot HOFer if he could only fight one style of fighter.
