    the guy is saying marquez because he's never been stopped like morales and barrera.

    duran has been stopped before.

    he's asking if therefore marquez>duran.

    he's not really asking him to compare him to duran.

    he's pointing out the flaw in the guy's reasoning.

    and you having marquez at the bottom also shows you were following boxing before 2007.

    NO. Prime Morales and Marquez would had never gotten embarrassed and ktfo by the likes of Jr Jones or Manny Pacquiao like Barrera did.

    It's a comparison between 3 people. Marquez not being stopped is certainly a credible point to bring up, especially if he is the only one in the group that hasn't been. It's just a matter of how much credence you lend to a person having never been stopped. Marquez does NOT rank higher than Duran.

    I've been following boxing since 1984,but my post came out wrongly.I tried to post it in a triangle with MAB and JMM at the same level with Morales in between.But the spaces wouldn't appear in the post.
    The truth is,I probably have Marquez above Barrera,with Morales always third,but I tried to acknowledge the post was only my personal feelings.JMM is my favourite active boxer,with Barrera my alltime #2 so I admit to bias.
    I suppose the fact my post didn't appear the way I intended means your comment would have validity.
    But it's not true.

    yes.

    because if you have a better chin or more durable that automatically means you're better.

    jmm is on equal level to mab and el terrible in boxing skills and talent.

    but even after having better longevity than both , he is not equal to them in terms of resume and legacy.

    being as we both have been following boxing for a long time , we both know that while barrera and morales were competing at a championship level , marquez was stuck in the shadows fighting less than championship caliber opponents.

    he has caught up some of recent years but not enough.

    Dumbass, ur only explanation is marquez has never been stopped and im telling u theres more to ranking fighters than that. So tell me how you came to ur conclusion instead of just saying marquez has never been stopped. Get it???

    even though he asked it , it wasn't really a question.

    the poster was making a point but phrased it in a form of a question.

    My own feelings on that would be that yes,JMM was always playing catchup,but the fact he's achieved so much at the elite level at such a late stage,means that what he's achieved since hitting superstar status can raise his standing outwith what the statistics suggest.
    We're talking about three of my alltime favourite boxers here.I always acknowledge that I have difficulty being objective.I completly understand why people put Erik at the top.


    But they are wrong.:hey
