    Sometimes i feel you are too hard on JMM, in the interest of trying to appear neutral

    Marquez has beaten a whos who of fighters throughout the divisions. What he did at 135 was especially great

    And what he did against Pacquiao - often handicapped - was remarkable

    Please stop pretending Marquez was the first lightweight to skip Jr. welterweight to chalange for a welterweight championship.
    I'm not sure how much to be inpresed by his record with Pacquiao. Even if I felt he won all 4 bouts. Pacquiao is more hype than subtince. I'm not sold on Bradley yet either.

    Easily the number 1 badass.

    After that it gets complicated.

    I just can't ignore Morales's accomplishments. He has a strong case for being ranked the best of the 3 based on the three great wins TT mentioned.

    Pretty incredible physically transformation for a nearly 40 year old man whose legs were going at 135.

    PED's can help, but they can't transform you completely by themselves. Proper strength and conditioning is the causal factor. PED's can only supplement it.

    No.

    Exactly. And they have helped him big time by the looks of it. I care not for the work and effort he's put in when he looks to be 'roiding and a totally physically different fighter. **** him (after 135 of course)

    Top 10 at best.

    No way does he rank higher than Sanchez,Olivares,Saldivar,Chavez and Canto.

    Top 3 obviously. People rank Sanchez so high due to the 2 ATG's he beat in Gomez and Nelson. People rank Chavez so high due to being the first Mexican to win 3 titles in 3 different divisions, most championship fights, and undefeated streak. Marquez himself beat 2 ATG's in Barrera and Pac. He has the single greatest win of any Mexican ATG, should be the first 5 division Mexican world champ, and his stock is going to rise if he beats Bradley along with another great win.

    Best win by a Mexican fighter is Medel stopping Harada.
