He was 4th at the time so my bad. Still doesnt make him a well known enough to choose fighting him and the WBO over Baldomir and the Lineal Title
I wanted to stay away from that because they discedit that win..but give Bradley props for it and excuse Manny for it even tho when Floyd beat him he was younger and they said he was not a ww..but all the sudden a 40 year old Jmm is a great win and a ok loss
no actually in 2005 he was the #1 contender http://boxrec.com/media/index.php/The_Ring_Magazine's_Annual_Ratings:_2005
He's been ranked at WW since the third Pac fight in 2011, just 2 years after Floyd 120-107'd him... Everyone has ranked Marquez no lower than 4th at WW for the last nearly 3 years... It is what it is. When people list Marvin Hagler's best victories, they always cite Tommy Hearns. But Hearns skipped up 2 divisions to make his Middleweight debut against Hagler. I smell hypocrites among us here on ESB...
Since Mayweather took Baldomirs title in 11/2006, The end of year ranking for 2006 would be used Floyd Mayweather Jr., Champion Miguel Angel Cotto Paul Williams Shane Mosley Antonio Margarito Zab Judah Kermit Cintron Luis Collazo Joshua Clottey Jackson Osei Bonsu Oktay Urkal same website
:good..but why did Baldo just vanish?from what i see he dropped to #2 not just gone http://boxrec.com/media/index.php/The_Ring_Magazine's_Annual_Ratings:_2006...you posted the 2007 list
