    He goes into the group with Pacquiao and Mayweather who were the 2 best of our generation. Now there's 3.

    Juan is the best mexican fighter of this era and my favourite Mexican fighter of all time.

    He's been my #1 since Barrera bowed out and although I wouldn't say he's the best of the era,he's one of the few who people will talk about in 50 years.
    He's been a joy to behold and I'm glad I was around to see him.

    JMM will be overlooked, like Holyfield. Some guys just don't get their props.

    Marquez is truly an ATG. No doubt about that

    I feel honored to have been able to follow almost his entire career.
    Im not old enough to have fully appreciated the great Ricardo Lopez... but watching a absolute master counter puncher with the most beautiful combinations has truly been a privilege.

    I have to disagree. He didn't fight nearly as good of comp in between his fights with Pac.

    Manny has been in with tougher fighters consistently. Lets not forget that one punch won the fight, Manny was winning until that point

    So beating Pac head-to-head is an automatic criteria to be better in terms of legacy?

    Maybe someone can care to explain how Marquez eclipses all Pacquiao has accomplished and the slew of names on his resume.

    The other did it in a sleazy way
