Why Morales never fought Marquez?

if there was a window then it would be the handling team around Marquez. .

You nailed it " . At the time Marquez was not the draw and instead of taking what was being offered, he ends up fight John for 30K.

(IF) there was a window- good point.
& at the time JMM...was not a draw- once again this is a business- so that would answer the topic of this thread-Why Morales never fought JMM--# uno he wasn't a draw, we can debate why...

I think JMM has made bad decisions or not taken lower offers for bigger fights. He could have faced Naz, he could have faced Manny for a 5th time but went on to lose against Bradley. Calculated business risk. His life, his career his choice.

First of all, if you folks remember, Marquez wasn't that well-known those days. He became sort of over-night sensation after his first pac fight, the 3 KD thing becoming a legend of sort.. But the big problem with Marquez is that he has trouble with his fellow counterpunchers and more so with those slick, evasive type fighters. Remember down-the-hill Barrera gave him a good fight. Both Barrera and Morales can counter pretty well. I wouldn't go far as saying Marquez would have lost but I can say it would've been a helluva fight! and I wouldn't dare say who'd have won, coz I be biased..

There is no (if). Marquez turned down the offer to fight Morales for 1.5 million. Same as he turned down a Pacquiao rematch for 750k. As I recall Nacho was telling the media why should they accept the lower amount when Marquez is the champion.

You are correct, I didn't remember exactly when, I speculated that it occurred on the downside of Morales' career.
I was responding from the perspective that Morales didn't evade JMM, nor was Mexico or the media clamoring for it, the way they wanted MAB-Morales, which led to a trilogy: JMM was always on the outside...even with their bad decision making.
