Marquez overrated?

[mathed]

Am I the only person that feel like Marquez is overrated? Why is he still on top of everyone's p4p lists. There are so many fighters at 140-147 that I'd pick to beat him. I know he's a technician and a great fighter, but because of the Pacquiao fights, he gets special treatment.

Salido, Pacquiao, Barrera and who else is relevant that Marquez beat.

I'd pick Garcia, Matthysse, Rios, Alexander, Amir Khan, L. Peterson Provonikov, Guerrero, Broner, Mosley, and Rios to beat him.

I'd pick Marquez against Berto, Soto-Karass, Kell Brook, and Thurman though.

Let me know why people rate Marquez so high.

*Disclaimer I'm not discrediting Marquez, but I think he's overrated.

What? No way man, JMM would destroy Rios, Khan, Peterson, Broner, and Mosley. These dudes are either too stationary or have a defense that is far too leaky to last with JMM (Khan). The guy is an incredible counter puncher and would hit a dude like Broner with 6 punches in a row before Broner would be able to return fire.

JMM has pop on his punches and has more experience than most of those guys combined. JMM isn't overrated at all, he has a few semi-questionable losses to Pac and one to Chris John (in Indonesia......yeah) out of 60 fights. He basically has definitive losses to Bradley, Mayweather (after jumping up 10 pounds to a weight he had never been at before), and Freddie Norwood (who was a great boxer with movement).

he's not overrated. he's old and in a weight division that isn't his natural one.

[AntonTheMeh]

take into acount that hes been kicking ass ell past his prime a well over his best weight 126-130. no overated ATG

pretty much this.

JMM is a bit of a specialist in fighting Pac, yet still losing to Pac mostly. But you have to be rewarded for aiming high, so if JMM thinks he can beat someone as good as Pac he has been rewarded for taking risks and aiming high.
Floyd wouldn't fight Pac now would he so in an ideal world would get penalized for it, but doesn't.

JMM resume isn't so in depth so its hard to gauge how he would have done against others, other than Pac. But at 40 he did well against Bradley.

So JMM probably is maybe a little overated but for his age, he is top material BH styly.

Ok I'm back, but Marquez is also a sore loser. The Pacquiao fights were close....but ummm who in the lower weight classes did he beat?

Katsidis? Baby Bull Diaz? Cassamayor? and Salido....a lot of people beat Salido.

[Sammy2g3]

Are you really telling me that you'd favor JMM over Matthysse or Broner????

I'd favor Marquez over Judah, but Judah probably would beat him too. Marquez is not an ATG....he's a hall of famer though.

Marquez is definitely overrated, he's not ATG like people on here claim, those Pacquiao fights made him.
