JMM proves he is equally as great as Manny Pacquiao, he fought a young hungry challenger. He was knocked down and hurt multiple times, but yet he showed unbelievable heart again. And fought an unbelievable fight in the FOTY, JMM is as good as Morales, MAB. He truly is one of the best of this era.
I love Marquez, but he's clearly second to Manny Pacquiao in terms of accomplishments. I would agree that he's on par with fighters like Barrera and Morales though.
My hats to Marquez for winning. I guess he doesnt either needs Katsidis hes beaten before by the aging Casa who beaten by Marquez he should go up for 140 he should face Alexander/Bradley than Katsidis fact seems 135 has no threat at him right now.
Wow amazing, edge of the seat fight .
Im a Katsidis fan more than ever now,you have to wish him all the best.
JMM is a great true and worthy champion fought from the floor up and dismantled a worthy opponent yet again.
Humberto Soto is a good opponent for JMM at 135, i don't want to see JMM move up personally. Although he might do just that, to become the first Mexican fighter to win 4 world titles in 4 weight classes.Quote:

Im worried regarding his health and age to take another beatings. well thats Juan Manuel Marquez, he might win another 4th world title or even meet for the third time with Pac.Quote:

Best match up for him outside of 135 that I think he'd still be competitive in. After all, he got in a physically demanding war with katsidis.Quote:

Marquez looked great and not at all a man of 37. Hats off to both fighters for giving us a wonderful show. These guys are great for boxing and I hope we see more of them in the future.
I thought Katsidis had it in him to put JMM down, but I guess I underestimated JMM's bouncebackability after being knocked down.
Credit to Kat though, I think he was much better than people expected. Most had predicted a fully one sided beatdown.
JMM has been down again, just like in his other fights but he can never be stopped. Good fight and another excellent performance from a Mexican fighter, and he's 37!!!
I agree that he should be regarded in the same level as Morales and Barrera.
i haven't seen the fight yet, gonna watch it in a bit, but IMO Soto is looking more faded than Marquez in his last few outings, and IMO he'd beat Soto easily
I haven't been so emotionally invested in a fight in a very long time.
When Marquez went down I felt sick.
Great win by JMM. It was a great fight too!
