Juan Manuel Marquez retires

[palmerq]

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.

Marquez us 44 years old and he hasn't fought in over three years so I'm not surprised.

Never stopped in 64 fights and holds wins over Pacquiao, Barrera and Casamayor (three hall of famers)

Shame he never fought Morales at some stage and I don't know why that fight never happened.
