Just because Pac beat Oscar does not mean JMMarquez can. Pac is better than Marquez and this proves it. Difficult to compare guys of lighter weights fighting the same guy then higher weights. Guys who are smaller are faster and fight at higher paces. They get used to that.
I agree...even though Calzaghe's recent opposition is a bit ...He won and won pretty convincingly...close against Hopkins...but convincingly nonetheless I put JC in no.2...unless JMM does something valuable soon...I think if he wins a belt or possibly beats an up-and-comer...he passes him...that's assuming JC stays retired and doesn't face Dawson or Froch (or even Taylor)
in the case of comparing these two legendary fighters allow me to say, if styles make fights ... then Management makes legacies.
JMM's win over Casa i think beats JC's win over RJJ. That being said, JC > JMM, but good luck prying JMM out of the #3 spot.
The main reason he's retiring is because he's running for president in 2010.. Also, I've said if many times before, Pac will never have a tougher opponent than JMM..
Respect for your new avatar - You put it out there and now your user name has all new connitations for n00bs. I also agree with your post here.
...ARE was talking about JMM vs PAC II again?! Oh Man! OK! I don't blame you guys (JMM fans!) Coz you know very well that TICKET to FAME isn't the win over prime MAB,and super ULTRA prime CASA nor one eyed JUAREZ. The ticket to JMM's fame is his ocassional highlight during his fights with PAC. Here is the proof! Did you ever see JMM fans post tons of pic with his win over MAB,CASA or any other boxer/s. Why?! Are you proud of JMM beating a close to washed up MAB?! Washed up CASA?! How about pics of JMM connecting/hitting pac?! Lots of pics AND thread coz you guys are proud how JMM performed against the likes of PAC! YES, PAC indeed is the shortcut to FAME!
i dont see PAC fighting for the 3rd time anymore. I can see 2 more fights from Pac and call it a legendary career afterwards. 2 fights are probably against hatton and PBF or another BIG name.
I think JMM is a very good fighter, he can adjust during a fight almost as good as Calzaghe, and he deserves his #2 p4p ranking. But, I thought Pac easily won their first fight, and Pac won the second fight, but it was closer. Pac knocked him down good in the second fight. And the first fight, the faces of both fighters tells the story. I am a fan of JMM, but Pac beat him both times. I went for JMM both times, and I purchased the second one.
