Division changing fights you were wishing for, but never eventuated.

[Fenster]

One of mine was JMM to fight Hamed at 126,

Right in hamheads prime and as Jmm was climbing through the tops of the featherweight ranks.

I thought it may of eventuated. I think Juan would have stood up to him after being knocked down simular to Pac and worked him out like Barrera eventually did , but easier. It would of changed the shift and Morrales and Barrera may have wanted him in for a unification chance later the next year or so once they got into that weight.

I was also hopeful JMM may have eventually fought Istvan Kovacs, but instead Chargon took that title off him. (I think on styles both being fast astute boxers) it could of been an amazing chess match of fast moves Foty or maybe they were too similar and it would of been a head to head clash .

Still think Juan would of knocked him out though.

Result: Moralles ,Barrera and JMM eventually in a triology in their prime.


So which fights were you praying for that never happened that would have changed history in a prime weight division?

I wished it would of happened too. Everybody did. Except Hamed that is. You can't blame Marquez. He sat and waited as the mandatory number 1 spot for 2 years. Hamed kept saying he was next. But always kept facing someone else. After Hamed decided that Vuyani Bungu (who had never once fought as a Featherweight before) was more worthy, he knew the fight would never happened. Hamed tried to save face with a bullshit offer afterwards, but everybody but the Hamed groupies knew the real deal. Hamed wanted nothing of Marquez. Shameful behavior.

Lets stick to the facts -

1. Marquez was offered a career high payday to fight Naz. Fact.
2. Marquez turned it down. Fact.
3. Marquez is on record admitting this. Fact.

Now, tell me, am I lying?

Plus.... When Hamed was in his prime JMM had fought 1 decent oppontent (Norwood) and lost. So why did he deserve a shot and why would he have been more feared (at that point) than Vasquez, McCullough, Buyungu etc)

Don't be silly Big H. You don't know boxing.

The no.1 WBO contender, that no TV network on earth is interested in, and a man that has FAILED in his first attempt in world-class, is far more important than the lineal featherweight champion and proven "world" title winners.

What ever happened in between for what ever reasons I still think at that stage Juan had the chin to survive and the skills to do more than Mab.

Well never know, if he bought into Nassems persona and taunts and got at all frustrated and didnt stick to boxing he could of been sparked too.
