Was this the biggest win for Mexico Boxing?

[beenKOed]

Tough call, Chavez KO'ing Taylor in the 12Th was equally if not more dramatic, only because Chavez had not knocked Taylor down in the fight. In this fight Pac was getting damaged throughout the fight and had already been down. Now with that being said, be sure that this now is in the top 5 Mexican victories and Marquez's status in Mexican boxing history will be elevated now to one of the ATG's.

I don't know how the KO should be rated in Mexico but Marquez is going to be very popular for a long time.
I live in Los Angeles which has a huge Mexican population and everywhere I went today I heard everyone talking about that KO.
There are a lot Mexican fighters that are both proud and envious of Marquez today!
Let's not forget the other guy in that fight, the hard charging, flying fisted, fierce hearted PacMan.

The biggest? Perhaps not but definitely one of the most satisfying.

A big win for Mexican boxing no doubt. Other ones that are just as big for Mexican boxing.

- Salvador Sanchez over Gomez
- MAB over Hamed

I think it is was the most significant win. Pac had his way with everyone else and got the nod against Marquez prior to this. MAB is my other favourite Mexican, but I don't rate Hamed as being on Pac's level.

It really is a shame Marquez doesn't have a young Morales on his resume too.

This fight elevates JMM above Eric Morales and Barrera which is something I did not think I would ever say. He is an amazing fighter and his list of opponents are up there with the very best.

Its got to be in the running with Sanchez/Gomez, Lopez/Sanchez.

I personally think it is...

Aside from the ones already mentioned Mexico has had some great wins especially in the golden era.
Zurita has 2 great wins. 1 over Sammy Angott & 1 over Sixto Escobar.
Kid Aztecas first win over Ceferino Garcia was special. I believe he was the underdog coming into fight.
Baby Casanova holds a win over Henry Armstrong.
Macias defeating Songkitrat was astronomical and just put him as a household name.
Olivares defeating Rose at the Forum was out of this world at the time.

But none of those come close to what JMM just did.
