Marquez didn't look great in that fight, but it's just a fight thats sensationally prone to revisionism.

w/all the hiding he's been doing in Indonesia/Australia it was bound that finally caught a live 1...a very over-rated champ in that he would never come out of hiding 2 challenge the elite of his division, regardless of the world body they were in...

Definitely a shocker. Can't wait to see this on YouTube.
John was for sure a credit to his people. But he was overrated too, no way is he the best featherweight of all time.

Wow people actually like John? The guy that has basically only fought mandatories with no hope. The guy who held his belt hostage in Asia. The guy who has never tried to get a Unification Match. John isn't bad but to really try and claim he is the best Featherweight of all time is an insult to Willie Pep, Salvador Sanchez, Armstrong, Hamed, Jeffra, Marquez, Morales, Barrera, Pacquiao and many other Featherweights. And his win against Marquez was not even close to decisive and was closer to being a robbery against Marquez then anything.Last edited by Jocknerd94; 12-06-2013, 02:59 PM.
