Is Juan Manuel Marquez a better boxer than Canelo Alvarez?

He certainly exhibited that against Floyd and Lara.

 

to even mention the two in the same breath would be considered sac religious.

 

Just stop

 

Ofc JMM was a master craftsman, where Canelo is a decent boxer with a great chin

 

Please tell me the ages of both fighters when Bradley and JMM fought?

JMM is arguable the best Mexican fighter of his era, during a time where Morales and Barrera were at their peak

 

That's fair.

 

Im on 100% agreement with you

Footwork was the first thing that left marquez.. He lost it relatively young... The gervacio fight it was like he was gliding around the ring.. Poor guy took a hammering

Canelo has slicker upper body movement
Canelo has a better chin and is probably a little quicker, and benefitted from bad judging better

Canelo is very good, but not as good as marquez and itd take something quite special for him to do that... Its a shame really because I liked the guy but when your watching someone fight and you feel like they have a stacked deck that makes them very unlikeable.

 

I find it hard to consider GGG better than guys like Barrera, Pacquiao, Bradley and Mayweather.

 

Soooooooooo are you telling us that Golovkin is better than TWO consensus top 15-20 all time fighters?

Please do us all a favor and stop posting.

 

Marquez was very past it

 

Or outboxing him with bad decisions

 

Or Bradley is just that good. He was pretty much king of 140, beat a JMM coming off a win over Pac, and beat Pac in a controversial decision when Pac was much closer to his prime than when Floyd fought him or this current Pac.

He’s beaten every man he faced according to the books and the only man to beat him is one of the goats.

 

Both are roiders. So it's a level playing field on that count.

Offence JMM edges it.
Defence and chin I got for Canelo.
Stamina and work rate JMM.

It's a close one.
