Marquez was offered the Naz fight but unfortunately BOTTLED it. Fact.
JMM was number one contender for 2 years and did not get a shot. there was only one reason why he turned it down because it must have been a joke offer. Marquez has done an interview in the recent Ring mag.
Marquez turned down the fight in 2000 - which Augie Sanchez took. It wasn't money, he was offered around $500,000 which i believe would have been a career high payday by MILES! He said he wasn't ready but would like to fight Hamed in the future when he (Marquez) wins an alphabet.

Yes he spent two years as WBO no.1 but he was an absolute nobody.

Fact is - he was offered the Naz fight but refused it.
