If Marquez beats Bradley

i think he is already greater!

 

He's already greater, and by a considerable distance


No disrespect to them, but his name should be mentioned with the likes of Chavez, Sanchez and Lopez, not Barrera and Morales.

 

let's see....he knocked out the guy that bested both of them. they both avoided him back in the day...jmm is superior now. he doesn't have to beat bradley to be better.

 

this.

 

Cases could be made in any possible direction in this debate.

Marquez is older than both Morales and Barrera and despite not holding as many defenses has won titles in more divisions along with the fact he holds a better record over Pacquiao. Despite now being 39 is still active and still a p4p fighter whilst Barrera last fought in 2011 and Morales was knocked out in 2012

Marquez > Morales/Barrera

 

nice break down.

 

He is already greater than them even before he KO6 Pac!

 

Chavez, Sanchez, Olivares, Saldivar, Lopez then Marquez, He already is in my book.

 

He is Greater... he has been on the P#P top 5 list for years now, when he faced Floyd he was #2 for his amazing performance against Pac.. then after the pac vs Marquez III he was still rank top 5. and now at 40 years old after sending Pac to Plank time he is till top 5... so yeah Marquez is up there with the best mexican fighters of all time....

 

Morales and Barrera > Marquez. Easy
