Those KO's happened a long time ago though. The only one that has any sort of real relevance is the one against Garcia. And that was his first televised fight I believe, and Garcia was the more experienced guy and a fairly slippery puncher. That was 6 years ago though, Marquez didn't really come into his own until that upset over Too Sharp. And maybe even after that.

Marquez is a counter puncher but he does take some to give some. Not to a great extent but he does. He's never been KO'd but he's been dropped plenty more then Rafa recently. Against better competiton but still...

Different types of defense, Rafa is a lot more cagey and uses his arms more while JMM is more slippery. But I do have to see more JMM. I've heard before that Naz ducked JMM but I haven't seen anything before 2003 against Smoke. The only exciting Gainer fight I've ever seen.
