JMM surpassed Sanchez awhile ago.

Longevity - Sanchez died young, which wasn't his fault. However, he must be rated based on what he did accomplish, not speculation. Sanchez was only a great featherweight for a few years. His best wins came against Gomez, a fighter who never had success at featherweight, and Nelson, a young, inexperienced fighter, who took that bout on short notice.

JMM was a top featherweight for a longer period of time and he's still going strong at 38 years of age in his fourth weight class). That type of stuff is unprecedented for a career featherweight.

Multi-weight success - Again, Sanchez was only great at featherweight for a few years. JMM has been great from 126-144. JMM has proven himself to be world class in 3 original eight divisions (featherweight, lightweight, welterweight). No contest.

Opposition - Sanchez's best opponents were Lopez, Gomez, Nelson.
JMM's best opponents were Pacquiao (X3), Salido, Barrera, Diaz, Mayweather. Again, no contest.

I think one can make a case for Marquez as the #2 Mexican fighter of all-time.

We don't even know if Sanchez would've been able to fend off a more experienced Nelson, much less an Arguello or young Chavez. His last couple of performances coupled with history indicate to me that he would've starting piling up losses within a few years. He wasn't untouchable like some of his fans like to believe. He had a lot of holes in his game as evidenced in many of his championship featherweight bouts (Cowdell, Ford, Laporte).

Marquez imo is among the top 5 Mexican Boxers ever, just above Barrera and Morales. I could see Marquez landing a nice combo on Khan wobbling him, throwing another nicely timed accurate combo on Khan's chin and stopping him.
