Dinamta! good vid,He's going to be missed when he's gone great fighter & an even better person.One of the greatest pure boxers I've ever seen or studied very crafty.
Oh OK, and your word carries more weight than orriray59's, Bogotazo's and Smokin' Joe's when it comes to where the devastating effectiveness of Marquez's precision punching ought to be rated? That is basically what you're intimating. Everyone, there is a guru on our midst. He alone can see through the fog. :bowdown
I appreciate his skill and technique. I just believe him having Pacquiaos number gets him praised around here like he's unbeatable when he's far from it.
He's only clearly lost once with a number of pre-determined advantages against him in his whole career.
Love how he sets up his right cross with a lazy left jab. It's a perfect set up. Juan Manuel Marquez deserves to be mentioned with Chavez, Sanchez and Lopez.
You say that like Pacquiao's the only guy he's beaten. :huh You can't take something away from him because he's fought Pacquiao 4 times instead of other big names. Norwood was a certified robbery. The Chris John fight was pretty uneventful and hard to score and Marquez admittedly did little to impress, although neither did John. As such, it was a very close fight and you could give it either way. Bit of a non-event. Perhaps fighting outside the States for the first time in 12 years in Indonesia affected Juan's performance, who knows. In the states that fight is most likely marked a Marquez win or a draw. Mayweather was a stylistic nightmare for Juan. That's a fight I don't think he could ever win. Not to mention the size difference and the terrible physical shape he was in for his first fight at Welterweight. He gets too much **** for that given the disadvantages he was at, and especially against a fellow ATG and p4p #1. I also believe, as many others do that Juan is 3-1-0 against Pacquiao. He possibly should have lost the first fight because of the missed knockdown on the scoring, but even so he put on a boxing clinic for the rest of the bout and made it very very close. There's very few fighters who would have survived that first round from that situation and even fewer who would have gone on to make it such a close fight afterwards. The second fight was close, personally had Marquez winning as did many others. Comes down to how you personally score a bout. Fights 3 and 4 were clear Marquez victories, obviously. Mayweather really is the only clear, decisive loss he's suffered in his career, and you want to call him overrated. Well, you're welcome to your opinion but it's wrong.
I haven't seen one single person say he's unbeatable. Even then, he has only lost clearly once in his career, and it happened to be against the best pure boxer of his generation while jumping up 2 weight divisions without having a tune up. Juan did NOT have one single advantage coming into that fight.
Its for fights like the Mayweather (and all the Pacquiao ones where he was at a disadvantage) that i rate him higher than Mayweather and Pacquiao. He's dared to fight EVERYONE regardless of the disadvantages (weight, age, purse, gloves, ring size etc) On the other hand Mayweather and Pacquiao dont even fight unless they have every concievable advantage, and even then it's not against the best opposition. Can you imagine Floyd growing a set and taking on Maravilla? Nope neither can I And those two avoiding each other and denying the fans of a superfight, well thats inexcusable. Marquez took them both on. What a ****ing G
Too bad you're a ******. Otherwise, you'd be like half a man if you weren't a raving ****** because you're still a little *****.
