People claim that Pac & Floyd avoided slick boxers, but 1 name always goes unnoticed

Good point, Marquez look like **** when fighting chris john. i still score that fight draw but man Marquez really look uncomfortable being the aggressor

Marquez is a counter Puncher that's not there fight it would be Like Floyd taking it to Madaina trading with him, he would get knock out

Juan Manuel Marquez.

One thing Marquez hated was having to be the aggressor against slick fighters, so what did he do? He avoided them altogether. He never, EVER wanted to have to go through what Floyd subjected him to in their fight. All that running, blocking, ducking, moving was too much for him.

It's no wonder he won't even consider taking on Crawford or anyone of that nature. He wants to bank off the slow plodders like Rios and Alvarado.

Marquez and Nacho didnt want to fight Tim Bradley after he got that decision over Manny, they said the fight would be boring and he runs too much, yet they jumped on the opportunity to fight him after Ruslan took his soul and had him wobbling the entire ring concussed.

Its not secret Marquez and Nacho do not like fighting movers, Marquez uses the Matador style, it relies on countering aggression and side stepping, Marquez never blocks or holds in fights, he is one dimensional, everytime he got knocked down it was from him trying to apply pressure, Floyd dropped him when he came forward, Pacquiao, katsidis, Diaz, etc. He only applies pressure when someone is hurt but he cannot fight going forward.

I like Marquez but his entire career has been defined on Pacquiao.

Marquez struggled with Chris John, and Norwood, also I think part of the reason JMM and Nacho do not like to fight guys who move off the back food besides being a style problem is the Derick Gainer fight, Gainer literally was running the entire fight not doing much avoiding conflict.

In the Norwood fight Nacho kept telling JMM dont go back go forward, but Marquez didn't pressure at all he just circled and went with what he was comfortable with trying to wait for the guy to come in.

If JMM fought Casamayor in his prime he would probably get out boxed with ease, similar to how Bradley did.
