Max Kellerman: "I have yet to see a fight in which i thought marquez was beaten"

Officially, the fight was draw, but unofficially, according to me, Juan Manuel Marquez won. That's just the same as you unofficially considering that fight a victory for Manny Pacquiao - doesn't make either of us right, but nor does it make either of us wrong.

I have already told you, I sat down and scored both fights and had Juan Manuel winning both. That is why "I" consider Juan Manuel to be superior to Pacquiao, however, he can't be justified as greater than Morales or Barrera.

I would hope you don't say I'm wrong again, but it is my objective opinion, and there is clearly as case for making Marquez a victor in both fights, with each of the contests being razor thin.

 

I think the only factor for Juan Manuel Marquez not going down as the greatest featherweight of this era is due to him being unlucky on the scorecards. In every fight he has lost, except for the DQ, he could have been given the decision and nobody would have been shouting robbery. I think we are all in agreement with that.

I think Juan Manuel Marquez showed a warrior inside of him when he came back from those knockdowns against Pacquiao. Many other fights would have crumbled at that point, and probably never would have gotten up, but Juan did and that is to his credit.

Juan Manuel doesn't have Manny's physical attributes but more importantly, he doesn't have his marketability.

 

And had Manny not been vunerable to the right hand, and took that battering the 8th round, the fight would not have been close.

It works both ways.

 

I don't see your point, no.

Officially!
the fight was scored a draw, and that is why when you go on Boxrec, it will clearly show that no winner was determined. Regardless of the so-called scoring error, both fighters now have a draw of their records, and that cannot be disputed in anyway shape or form. If anything, justice was done by that scoring error, however that statement can be disputed because it's my personal opinion. The draw each fighter has on their record is not an opinion, it is factual.

 

Or he could be using his objective opinion.

Look, if he honestly thought Marquez won all of his losses, then he has every fight to consider Juan Manuel Marquez the best featherweight of his era. No biased has to be involved, he just truely believes he didn't lose any of those fights. I disagree with him, but it is still a credible opinion from Max who clearly knows the sport of Boxing.

I think he meant that Morales management wanted no part of Marquez, he knows full well Morales wouldn't personally duck anybody just as Duran and Margarito wouldn't.
