    no offense on JMM. It is more what would surprise me is it JMM would have beaten a prime great fighter to prove he was great in the way people describe. That is how I rate great fighters. What other greats and quality have they beaten and dominated. That is why I rate Sugar Ray Leonard so high.

    Thought Barrera took it but the judges gave it to rising star Marquez instead.

    It was a clear win for JMM, but that fight showed MAB's underrated skill as a boxer, it was just too late for him at that point.

    Prime for prime, I'd take MAB.

    It doesn't get talked about alot because mostly everyone in this site only knw about PAC and Floyd. Sadly but true..

    Btw this fight was very exciting.

    Marquez won convincingly, only the HBO crowd tried to make the fight seem competitive. Mab was past his best and the fight would have been better in their primes, that's why I don't think much about the fight.
