What does that quote have to do with Marquez ducking Naz? He said he thinks Marquez would beat Naz. That's fair enough.
Show me where he said - "HBO, Jim Lampley and Larry Merchant were lying?"
Just because Marquez ducked Naz it doesn't mean he isn't better than him. Fact.

He didn't say he "thinks Marquez would beat Naz".
He said Marquez would "beat Naz 7 ways til Sunday and twice before lunch..."
Slight difference.
If you need it to be explained, let me know.
Also, nice try on the "me calling CMM a moron" bit.
You sounded like the 5th grader egging on two 9th graders to a fistfight.
How typically "Fenster-ish" of you.

JMM was THEE mandatory challenger to Naz... Naz ducked him for a long time.
That is a fact.
Emmanuel Steward (RIP) admitted to telling Naz and advising to steer clear from him and not fight him and Naz listened.
That is also a fact.
Fenster?
I believe you're up.
Well I do need it explained to me?
How does someone saying a fighter would win a fight mean the other guy ducked him?
And how the fuck can a fighter be "ducking" someone that is on record admitting they refused the fight?

Ah... temper, temper.
Go back and read post 41. Then let me know if there's something in there you did not understand.
Go on now...
It is a fact, but it only paints part of the picture. Naz was a superstar, and as such cherry picked opponents that would make big fights. Luis Abregu is number one contender for Mayweather's title, but I won't be accusing Mayweather of ducking him if they never fight.
I'm a huge Marquez fan, but I'm not kidding myself that he was the same fighter in the late nineties that he became a few years later. Marquez didn't win a world title until after Naz retired. Marquez has stated himself many times that he became more aggressive later in his career because he threw away fights.
If I had to place a bet, I'd put it on Naz to beat a pre 2000 Marquez.

That's because one fighter has a history of fighting the GREAT fighters of his era and the other, to put it mildly... doesn't.
Call me crazy, but when it comes to opposing stories, I am more likely to side with the guy who didn't retire after having fought and widely lost to the single truly elite that he ever faced.
If Hamed left a better legacy then I might be more open to your cries of avoidance.
Ouch! That had to hurt.
Once again.......
