    Pretty ****ing great, except for Turpin. Seriously, those are all time great guys in their own right. Fullmer has victories over Robinson, Basilio, Pender, Benny Parret, Florentino Fernandez, and he fought **** Tiger and Joey Giardello to a draw. Basilio beat Robinson, Ike Williams, Billy Graham, Gil Turner, Tony DeMarco, and Johnny Saxton. Graziano in addition to being one of the best punchers ever in the middleweight division has victories over Tony Zale, Freddie Cochrane, and Billy Arnold.

    There is aren't many big time fighters you can name that won titles when there was only 1 belt. Between the fab four only Duran won a title in a one belt era.

    Re****, Marquez was robbed in every fight. I give partial credit to Pacquiao for difficult fights with Marquez but you're re****ed if you give credit for a WIN.

    yes, and now there are more titles, and more weight classes today than there were back in the era of the four kings. not only were there less weight classes and belts, management and promoters were also a lot less lenient in terms of career progression and getting title fights for their fighters which is the reason why rigondeaux holds a belt and he only fought like 3 times..... harry greb has 261 wins but floyd is the one with twenty something world champions on his resume.. that makes no sense to me.

    Fight one was wrongfully scored a draw because one of the judges didn't count one of the knockdowns on his scorecard properly. Should have been a close Pacquiao decision. Fight two was a Pacquiao win. Fight three was a robbery with Marquez up three or four rounds. And Marquez got the best win of the series with his astonishing knockout of Pac in that fight. All told, it's 2/2 with Marquez having the overall better victories in the series.

    Marquez had better technique than Mayweather or Pacquiao. They just had better physical assets. As they aged, Pacquiao's physical abilities diminished and with the right PEDs Marquez was finally able to catch up to him. That's the story of those fights.

    It's a shame too. He had the athleticism, technique, and opportunity to be top 20. Imagine if he'd managed to beat prime Pacquiao, Cotto, plus beating guys like Thurman, Paul Williams, Margarito, Tszyu, Bradley, Lara, etc. He'd have a legit case for being the greatest ever then (if he'd beaten them all that is).
