    I think a prime Morales/Barrera would knock Marquez out.

    One of them fought nothing but bums

    JMM is the Ultimate Master of our generation

    If JMM is the ultimate master of our generation, why are people uptight that Floyd has selected him to fight?

    Resume, JMM lost during his prime. Roy never did (except a bull**** disqualification)

    Skillwise, I take into account handspeed, footspeed, head movement, power, array of punches - Jones has advantages over JMM in so many aspects it isn't funny.

    That does not make sense. You should be ranked on WHO you have beaten not what some THINKS your skillet is capable of.

    What you have proven should be the only thing that counts when ranking a fighter.

    If Marquez has beaten better fighters than he should be ranked above Jones, regardless what Jones skills could of done to fighter A or B.

    RJJ is the better boxer in my opinion... He had all the skills of a fighter... People tend to forget he beat Hopkins and Toney at their prime...

    I'd rather watch Marquez.

    I don't really care who the better boxer is.

    The better fighter and the man no one will ever question in years to come is Marquez. :deal

    Hopkins was not prime.

    The Hopkins that fought Pavlik was better than the version that fought Roy. :deal
