JMMs example is a bit like Norton, a guy well remembered for his Ali trilogy (and win) and maybe the fight with Holmes but other than that, someone who was always there and there about but never managed to really go to that next level.
That shouldn't take away from either fighter, it's just that they weren't an upper echelon great.

Marquez is a legend. That man is smart, and he will do whatever it takes to get an edge. That's a tough combination. Watching him do all that crazy stuff on 24/7 is so weird that it's inspiring. I don't think you can count him out against anyone. At the very least, you know he's up somewhere at extreme elevation, doing all he can to beat you. He's a great fighter.
