    how.

    if they fought 10 times duran wins 11.

    jmm is a damn good fighter, but nothing in his game is to the level of what a 135 duran was.

    Duran would be like Pacman if Pac were to become infected with the 28 days later virus.

    Duran savagely ko's Marquez.

    Go to the 7:00 min mark.

    If DeJesus can do it, I'm sure JMM can do it 2/10 times.

    Now don't get me wrong, Roberto is the far better fighter but JMM has enough skill to pull it off if Duran is not on his A game.

    Can you Imagine what Marquez' uppercuts would do to that wide guard???

    Duran TKO. Although he is a good boxer, Marquez is not a slick mover similiar to the likes of Leonard or Benitez. He lacks the firepower to keep Duran off of him and the defense to nullify his onslaught. Juan is quite simply outclassed.

    you talk about dejesus like he is a run of the mill fighter. look to see how many fighters beat dejesus at 135.
    and remember thae dejesus win was a 10 ropund non title fight. weall know what type of fighter showed up when the belt was on the line at 135.
    and that is still a green duran.

    Your right.

    Damn good fighter. Only stopped by Duran and once more late in his career. Good power, good speed, technically sound.

    What I really meant was to point out that even Duran was vulnerable.

    only to the second best 135 of that era. whose skills were just a notch below duran.

    jmm catches too many punches. and that is a recipe for disaster against cholo

    Yes, like I said, Duran wins 8/10 times. JMM's defense at 135 is not what it used to be at the lower weights. I think this is partly because he tries to be more offensive minded nowadays.

    But I think that Marquez' uppercut can help him by discouraging Duran who carriers a wide guard. Not enough to seriously hurt him but maybe, as in the Pacquiao case, enough to discourage him from attacking so much.

    More then likely it ends via T/KO in favor of Duran though.
