    It depends though. It'll be a great fight at 147

    Serious question. I ask cause I myself wonder this. If Marg came back and managed to fight and win against the elite, (without cheating) would everything be a thing of the past?

    Marquez, but only at lightweight, not welterweight.

    JMM has that Mexican warrior mentality, heart and guts but it doesn't show as much as the other Mexican boxers like Margarito, Morales or Barrera maybe because of his counterpunching style...

    JMM has it but he's not no. 1 in that department...

    Probably. Boxing does enjoy it's revisionist history.

    Izzy should be on a plane to a retirement home. Dude has left too much in ring wars.
    JuanMa is on the way up too though, right?

    Don't confuse a counter punching styled fighter for one with less heart. Also dont confuse chin for heart. Guys like Margarito and Castillo had incredible heart but also incredible chins, and with their relentless style it appears guys like them have more heart than anyone

    But Marquez has shown his heart time and time again. I cant think of another fighter whos got up after three brutal same round KDs to go on and dominate a devastating opponent

    Marquez' heart is right up there as great as any Mexican Warrior there's ever been

    I love Izzy, a true warrior...but it'd be kinda sad watchin' JuanMa obliterate him...

    Not in Mexico I guess... Margarito is allowed to fight in Mexico and I'm guessing many Mexican fans will be watching it if ever...
