    Marquez this man made Pac look like an idiot.

    Holy! Pac's not stopping this president nonsense he is making a fool out himself. Oh, well going to watch KTFO 6. Gracias, Marquez! I'd never thought I would enjoy it now. Pac needs to be real with himself. He is too dumb to be president! Better off have a sleep in the corner somewhere and wake up to his senses.

    For active guys, I really like Juan Fransisco Estrada (probably my favourite active fighter) Julio Cesar Martinez; Miguel Berchelt; and Jose Zepeda. Canelo has also really grown on me over the last six months. I was a big fan of Valdez's, but the blatant corruption as of late has put me off. I'm going to start watching and reading uo on Navarrate, he seems like a fighter I could be a big fan of.

    My favourite Mexican fighters throughout history are Erik Morales, Ruben Olivares, Chucho Castillo, Miguel Canto and Julio Cesar Gonzalez. I also love watching Gaspar Ortega and Lupe Pintor.

    The whole idea of a 'Mexican style' is bollocks, though. Almost none of the Mexican greats fight in the manner most associate with 'Mexican style'. Julio Cesar Chavez and Marco Antonio Barrera are the only ones who remotely fit that role, and neither were mindless brawlers.

    I just don't love his gangly ugly fighting style, also, I like Pitufo Diaz, Ruben Villa and Hector Tanajara well before he fought them, and he beat all three of them, so probably a little sour grapes. That being said, he is overrated. Without the KD's against Villa, he'd have lost and quite frankly Tanajara did more than enough to get a draw. So Top Rank and their coddling of him with favorable scorecards has also played a part.

    Gotta lotta love for Mexican fighters..

    But it's definitely Marquez...doesn't fit the archetypal Mexican warrior bit he is every but one.
    best combination puncher possibly of all time, great boxing brain,gifted counterpuncher,lights out power, godly timing,amazing recovery,fighters heart, balls like ****in space hoppers... absolutely no quit..not afraid of a challenge..and still able to hang with the elite long after his prime ....and treated me to some of the best fights I've seen in my lifetime....an all time great rivalry and probably the most significant moment I've seen live in boxing..the historic ko6

    Loved him....miss him

    Also unusual in regards to his fleetness of foot left him very early in his career.

    Fight of his worth checking out that shows him looking absolutely immense is his fight Vs Julio gervacio....it's punch perfect
