    Btw I do LOVE #1 and #3 but they should be 1 and 2 of last 30-35 years.Either order would be fine.

      True but I think Marquez was playing an even field this time and used PEDS because Pacquaio used them

              Obs I don't know for sure but I think Pac was clean for 1st 2 fights.I think it was the Diaz fight at 135 that I seen something.Im not gonna get into all reasons because ive already posted it and don't want to spend next 2 weeks getting qouted by Pac fanboys.So really I think he was already a great fighter and had done enough to get in HOF before he cheated.And I think Marq was clean up to 4th Pac fight which I think is about as clear as a failed test that he was juicing in that fight.

                Never had ANY interest in that fight.Too much size.

                  As much as I may think Marquez (and a host of others) were on PED’s, he didn’t get caught so we can’t ding him based on that.

                  I rate Marquez higher than Cotto. His KO win over Pacquiao was epic. And he had some damn solid wins in lower divisions as well, like Diaz, Gainer, Salido, Barrera, Casamayor, Medina, Juarez etc. His body of work makes him an ATG.

                  Cotto is a Hall of Famer and underappreciated IMO but he falls a rung or two below on Marquez on my list.

                    Two of my favourite fighters of recent time these two. I loved their styles and watching them fight.
                    I think they're of a similar ilk talent wise. I'd probably have to place JMM slightly higher though.
