I think at this point he is more than half way there given the exposure this promotion has given him. A JMM win makes him undoubtedly #1 and a win in a 3rd Pac bout relegates him to the best Mexican fighter of alltimeQuote:

Glad to see you all are lathered up in that Marquez butter. Keep believing that a 36 year old, slower lightweight who can't help but start slow can beat an elite, fast, accurate welterweight in his own weight class by fighting the same way he does for the very first time.
Marquez is a first ballot hall-of-famer, but how high does the guy have to move up before reality checks in? Hey, up next, JMM takes on Wladimir Klitschko.
again its comment like that, deigrates such a great tactical fighter and counterpuncher. Look at Marquez fight he is an absolute masterclass of brilliance and adaptability.. You know why guys like Floyd, JMM, Pac move up?Quote:

Fame Money and notierity resides in this Golden Era of 140's Juan wants his piece of the pie and is willing to take an unknown risk like everyother before him. He is a great fighter and very capable of pulling off a win

I've been picking Mayweather since Day 1 but I think those people who give Marquez little-to-no chance are underrating how great a fighter he is.
I'm not sure if it because of what Mayweather has done in the weight-in thing, his mouth or jf its Marquez's unabated fortitude, that makes me hope that father time doesn't catch up with Marquez. He's fought his way into the Roberto Duran aweness territory for me.Quote:

All the politics aside this fight is gonna be mega, cant wait. Pizza's ordered just gonna sit back and relax. Fan of both of them and wouldnt mind either one of them winning but if i had to choose i would want Mayweather to win simply due to the fact of a possible Pac vs Mayweather maga fight. No disrepect to marques but hes had 2 shots allready and we can see what kind of fight the third would be and considering how much better pac is now it would almost be a certainty win for pac.
All i can say is, i hope its competive!!
I'm interested to see if Floyd is weight drained at all since he couldn't make the catchweight. I think JMM has the advantage in regards to how easy he made weight.
I don't think PBF will be weight-drained at all. It seems like a bit of shred (I guess) calculation on his part to give himself an advantage. If he'd tried to make weight a second time I would be more inclined to believe he could be drained.Quote:

I just saw the situation for what it was- Marquez was too small and slow to compete and he willingly takes too many shots. That's three strikes when you fight a p4p fighter still in his prime at a foreign weight class.Quote:
