Is Juan Manuel Marquez Over Rated?

[Majesty]

Its hard for me to think of anyone at 135 currently that can beat him honestly.

What other Lightweights were there worth talking about besides Diaz?

The only guy he hasnt beaten is Katsidis but he doesnt have to as he beat the two people who beat him.

Well there are a few people left for him to face at 135.

There's Joan Guzman and Edwin Valero who has just moved up to 135 and is fighting for the vacant title that Nate Campbell had to vacate I saw on Boxrec.

And as prospects there's Anthony Peterson but he isnt ready yet. Maybe in a year or two.

So if Edwin Valero wins the title then him. And Joan Guzman is left for JMM.


If he beats them both no one will ever say he is overrated. They shouldnt be saying that anyway though

Now, that gives me an idea. If Joan fights Marquez, who would have won?

if....he beats those two...thats ifffff...people are saying valero fought BUM fighters but can you name a great fighter that knocked his opponent in the first round in his first 17 fights??boxers start their career fighting BUM fighters...even pacquiao...marquez etc.....valero gets hit by his opponent because valero knows he can absorb their punches thas why he goes for the kill...but once he knows the caliber of his opponent he may be as cautious as he can and wait to land his power shots...thats the duty of their respective trainers...a boxer can be great if he can do what he trained for in the actual fight...in boxing, if you can do what you are saying before the fight then surely you are the winner..in short any boer who can initiate their gameplan perfectly then you win.....i can say valero is a very dangerous fighter and i dont think marquez can get up the canvass if valero lands a good one on the chin....
