Quality answer as usual Sel.... Addie My heart says Morales My mind and heart says Marquez Marquez by decision
Always thought that Marquez would've spanked him. Think of Morales - Zahir Raheem... now add offense and that's what you'd get here from JMM.
You cant think Morales Raheem! That fight took place when Morales was way past his bed time Morales was one of the greatest wee men we've ever seen Raheem was little more than a turd surviving a flush. Nevertheless, i agree - Marquez was just too skillful for Morales
Great movement (ala Morales-Raheem) combined with JMM's offense is exactly what you'd get here. It wouldn't be quite as one-sided with a prime Erik Morales, but JMM's quick feet and flashy in-and-out combinations would trouble him all night. Wiiiide UD for JMM and I don't see it another other way. :bart Marquez would be a stylistic nightmare for him.
`Too skillfull for Morales` are words that should never be used when speaking of any fighter within Morales weight range in the past 15 yrs. It would be a close fight either way, absolutely no doubt at all in my mind saying that.
Morales and Barrera didn't have the balls to face JMM in their primes, and that is my honest opinion.
Morales feet were far better & quicker than Marquez, he hit harder, had a better jab, took a shot better, was more comfortable infighting & had the height & reach advantages in distance boxing, both guys were great but Morales had more tools. I get a feeling we might have to agree to disagree tho.
I know. Im with you. It would be close as **** I lean for Marquez by half a ball hair, but its just that damn close
