Why is Marquez only 53rd best athlete of 2012?

Cause he is Mexican and is trained by a Mexican

 

Yep, its an extremely biased list

 

What proof?

Angel: I'm a peds expert with countless undetectable peds. I can transform Marquez into a monster even at 40. When I'm done experiencement with Marquez, he will not look the same. Just give me a few months.

 

I like JMM but he isnt that great of an athlete. Like for example Broner is a better athlete than JMM. SO is Canelo and a whole bunch others. JMM is a great fighter but his spagetti legs arent really helping his ranking as an "athelete".

 

Really flawed logic. JMM has accomplished way more than the two you just mentioned.

In sports, it is about proving yourself, not the potential one has.

For example, I used to box and if you saw me shadow boxing or hitting the bags/mitts next to lets say, Margarito, you would assume I would beat him in a fight. When in reality, there is no chance of me beating him, due to many intangibles that play a role in sports, especially boxing.

 

Since Pacquaio is regarded by most posters here as a overrated fraud on ESB, Marquez really hasn't accomplished much.

 

Anybody who feels that way is dumb...

Well, thinking he was overrated is fine (I'd agree), but thinking he was a fraud would be to minimize the greatness of those he has defeated.

 

are we talking about athletes or just boxers?

if athletes that 53 is already high imo, if only boxing then that list is blasphemy

 

was pacquiao still sleeping?

 

source or it's not true

 

Whatever you're smoking, please send me some!

This reality **** is getting old.

 

He had a great knockout over a guy who lost to Bradley the same year, regardless of whether we agree with the decision or not.

 

hmmmnn... why would you bring his name up at this instant? :think

He's on PEDs. That's why.
