Marquez has already surpassed Sanchez, Olivares and especially Zarate as far as im concerened. Zarate doesn't even belong in this debate actually..

With a W over Pacman, he would be the official ( REAL ) first 4 division Mexican Champ and that itself is a bigger accomplishment than anything Sanchez and Olivares has done..

IF he wins this saturday, he becomes the greatest Mexican to ever lace em up..
IMO JMM still hasn't surpassed Sancez, seeing how at what was it? Only 23 yrs of age he already had wins over HOF'ers such as Gomez, Nelson, "Little Red" Lopez, and also good wins over the likes of Kotei and Laporte, and it's no diss to JMM cause he's an outstanding resume yet officially the only wins over a HOF'er on his record is Barrera and followed by plenty of good fighters.

In terms of skill I'd say he was already up there long ago, especially in his displays against Pacquiao (two fights that should be wins), but for me Barrera, Morales, and Marquez will forever be locked in a 3 way tie.
