    how the **** anyone can call Chris John a gatekeeper is beyond my comprehension.

    you may think he is not as good as his record indicates but gatekeeper?

    because he fight great opposition JACA, Chris J, the thai I dont remember his name, Juarez and they recognize him by beating barrera in close decision which can go either way.

    fitzgerald,

    If the judge did not made a mistake who would have won? Now tell me who is robbed?

    For the record Fitzgerald, OF ALL THE LOSSES OF JMM, THE FANS CLAIMS HE WAS ROBBED! In fact to this DAY, I'm still waiting for FAN to admit indeed JMM lost...

    IN OTHER WORDS, if WE FOLLOW HOW JMM fans think about JMM record. IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN 55-0 or something

    DAMN! He is superman disguised as JMM :huh :huh :huh

    Anyway, pacman the Kryponite will make sure he will win this time!
    NO MORE MISTAKES from the judges this time!!!

    He highly rated because he held two 126 pound titles,he fought pretty good opposition,Pacquiao and Barrera being the best of them and also hes very skillful.

    Why is he so highly rated? I don't know, maybe it's the world titles at two weight classes or maybe it's the fact that he's one of the most picutre perfect boxers ever in terms of his technique.

    Marquez has an undoubtly highly skilled technical boxer. Sometimes people just plainly overrate him.

    There's no denying that he is talented.

    Hey dickhead . . . if you want to HYPE your fighter fine . . . but stick to reality back up by facts not by your stupid insinuations and halucinations.

    Marquez was robbed? If not for the scoring error the other guy should have won. How can you dispute that? Who got robbed again? :think

    Well said Brooklyn. Marquez is indeed among the finest technicians ever to grace the sport. I'm not saying he's as great as Leonard or Duran. That would unwise and foolish. He's been held back a bit until the last 3-4 years. I think he's been unfortunate with dodgy decisions like Whitaker.

    However, he's great to watch. Every punch in the book. Straight punches, hooks, uppercuts from either side. I watched his fight with Juarez earlier. He threw an uppercut at long range with his left, his jabbing hand. Pretty difficult. You don't see many fighters delivering uppercuts at long range from the hand furthest away from them.

    What does being undefeated have to do with being a good fighter ? Heard of Sven Ottke ?
