    JMM could have made a big announcement after the Manny victory. Great spectacular performance to finish on. I think he wanted to carry on but priced himself, quite rightly, out of other big fights.

    Good call, I was hoping for this a while. Wasn't impressed with the comeback rumours and having thought he had lost a step against Bradley and not really his weight anyway. Good time to go, he's done it all.

    Well Jon Manuel Marquez had a great career but he hasnt fought for 3 years or however long, I thoguht he had already retired, well done to him though!...

    I actully would have liked to have seen him take on cotto instead of this japanese fellow for cottos retirement, marquez always seemed to be a guy who kept himself in great shape.

    Same here I thought he retired as I've read little about him lately and no posts on him in this section but yeah he'll of a boxer. I really hope to hear manny retire soon but I gotta admit all these guys going is oeving an empty feeling in me. It's making me look that much more forward to canelo v golovkin. Sometimes these retired boxers make appearances at a casino in my area. I can shoot down if I ca bypass the 4 hour line for them to sign something for you. Once in a while I hit it right and the guys I know are running it so I can get a special meet and greet but I never seem to hit it right

    One of the greats and a favorite. Another who went under the radar early on boxing at the Forum and didn't get the notoriety until he and Norwood engaged in a stink fest, still say mostly fault of Norwood and one Marquez 'won'. Glad he didn't keep piecing himself back together and the talked about Cotto fight did not happen. Guy was a fantastic tactician and pure pleasure to watch work. Thanks for the memories champ.

    I also think the injuries played a big part. Pity they couldn't agree on weight for Cotto, would have been fun to watch. He was a pleasure to watch and a marvel at times. Apart from Floyd he was never really beaten decisively. A great fighter and a definite first ballot hall of famer.

    Marquez was known for pricing himself out of big fights
    I'm glad the Cotto fight didn't happen because it would've been brutal
    You're talking about a former featherweight champion in his mid 40s
    Fighting a former middleweight champion in his mid 30s.... Marquez gets stopped.

    The issue for this fight was the weight, Cotto refused to come down to 148 for the former featherweight. I think at a fair weight and a few years back it's a good fight.

    I don't blame him, he hasn't fought below 154 since 2009
    Marquez should've fought Garcia, Broner or Khan
    And Cotto should fight Lara, Charlo or Andrade.

    I don't see Cotto fighting those guys at this stage. Marquez should have fought Pac again.

    Great fighter and brilliant to watch which are not always the same thing. Planking Pac is no mean feat and while his career was much more than that it's not a bad way to put a full stop on a controversial but compelling series.

    Enjoy your retirement champ and pass some of that magic on if you can.

    A great boxer and a great gentleman. Plenty deserved, just as his place in the HAF of boxing.
