Marquez and Morales: Who really is greater?

Marquez. Arguably beat Pacquiao 3 times

Morales probably has a greater resume though but I prefer JMM

Peace merry Xmas

 

Dumb thread.

One win doesnt make a fighter greater then another or if that is the case then Antonio Tarver is a top 10 ATG.

JMM clearly and it isnt even close.

 

Morales all day.

He actually has a proper win vs PAC>

and not just cry about it.

 

I'd rate Marquez higher, although I think they're basically in the same class.

 

Your entire opening post was making the argument in relation to the Pacquiao fight. Practice what you preach, beoutch.

Oh and Merry Christmas...you filthy ***git

 

Tough question.

Resume, I'd go with Morales. More top wins than Marquez.

Referring to Pac, I personally scored each fight for Marquez.

Fight 1: 8-4, with 3 knockdowns. 113-112

Fight 2: 7-5, with 1 knockdown. 114-113

Fight 3: 8-4, with no knockdowns. 116-112.

Before the irrational Pac fans jump all over me, a one round swing in either fight 1 or 2 would have Pac winning.

I didn't see it the same with the last fight. Even with a 1 round swing, Marquez stays the winner. A 2 round swing (which is pushing it, imo) would still end up a draw.

So the Pac comparison, in my PERSONAL opinion, favours Marquez.

But, as I said earlier, Morales has the superior resume.

 

morales has a close fight with pacquiao but it's clear that no one disputes it. something that jmm doesn't have even in 3 fights which are all arguable but non as clear as the morales win. morales even has the official win where 3 out 3 of the official judges concur.

career-wise, morales was great early in his career while marquez just proved his greatness in the latter part.

over-all, i give the edge to morales.

 

To be fair, Morales was great for almost his entire career.

He wasn't exactly prime when he started losing to Raheem, Pac and Diaz. Before then, his only losses were to his arch-rival Barrera (whom he also held a win over), and had other great wins like Zaragoza, Jones, Ayala, McCullough, Injin Chi, Kelley, and even decent world champs like Hernandez, Chavez and Espadas Jr. To have a legitimate win over a future ATG in Pac towards the tail end of his career, was the icing on the cake.

His stint nowadays, I would exactly call that as being part of his "legitimate" career. Just like I would classify his 4th division world title as being exactly "legitimate", although technically it is.

ETA: I also give the edge to Morales btw.

 

Love them both and morales is one of my favourites of all time but I'd say jmm is better both great though

 

Everything Ive stated is FACT so far.

You used the Pacquiao fights to make the argument of who is better.
I called you out on it.
You become defensive and back away from your original post.
I restate what you said.
You cry.

If putting you into your place is trolling, then whoopdeedoo im a troll.

 

Marquez.

Morales is a myth(fairy tale).
