Marquez > Alvarez

[Julius Rain]

WTF is wrong with Mexican People? or Boxing Fans?

How is Alvarez more of an attraction than Marquez? Marquez put the peoples champ to sleep? How does he not have more of a Mexican following than Alvarez?

Who the fxck is Alvarez, compared to a real legend, Marquez?

[bzkfn]

Marquez only got recognition late in his career and was overshadowed by Barrera & Morales. Alvarez has been a Golden Boy marketing machine since before his first title fight. They have sold him well.

[TitoFan]

Good question Julius.... and good answer Bzkfn.
I've wondered the same thing, and have gotten to the same conclusion.

[Onix]

Do you guys live in Mexico, have lots of Mexican friends that like boxing, or are you assuming?

[TitoFan]

No need to live Mexico.

The part about Marquez being overshadowed by Barrera and Morales early in his career has been well publicized over the years. Canelo being hyped since the beginning, even without having faced credible opposition until recently, has also been a subject of much criticism in boxing circles.

The reason is because canelo is more of a threat to floyd compared to marquez.

Canelo is so overated but he is young, mexican and bigger than floyd.

The world needs another adversary for floyd after pacs two losses.

Canelo is the new pacman, but will do the blood tests and has golden boy backing.

Marquez is a legend but no threat to floyd and no way near his skill level.

Two losses? While I agree the pac floyd fight is too little too late I have to remind you that without a shadow of a doubt that Manny won against Bradley.

Who gives a fuck about a following? Peter Manfredo has a fucking following. Marquez is more highly respected than Alvarez is in Mexico. And that's not debatable. And beating Pacquioa 4 times is only part of the reason why.

I dont want to take this thread in another direction fella but if you have an issue with pacs loss to bradley, speak to the judges.

Bottom line is marquez always gave pac problems and if pac had fought marquez after oscar none of this hype train stuff would have occured.

Canelo has racked up wins against blown up welterweights and only decent (very close) win was against trout.

Canelo is the biggest threat to mayweather and after he gets beaten and mattyse beats garcia they will make him the next canelo.

If marquez was a threat to mayweather, after the pac win the world would demand another showdown with floyd but everyone knows what happens the first time so no one mentioned it

A following means bigger pay. Marquez deserves more millions than Alvarez. You're not qualified to say Marquez is more respected in Mexico. I need to hear it from a real Mexican in Mexico. From what I hear you live in Malibu.

It's common knowledge. You don't have to be Mexican to know that. You just gotta know boxing. Only a fucking idiot would wonder otherwise. So I'm not surprise to see you start this thread

Malibu is home to dumb white blonds. I love Malibu. Not surprised you don't

I'll say this - When I want to show my non boxing fan friends how Mexicans fight I show them Marquez. He defines the country's fighting spirit.

Like I said you don't even have to be Mexican to know Marquez is and deserves to be more respected than Alvarez. You just gotta know boxing.

[Rantcatrat]

Marquez has done much more than Canelo from a legacy perspective, but Canelo is more popular than Marquez. It has a lot to do with his looks.

Yeah excuse my typos but of course Mexicans respect Marquez more. Mexicans aint dummies when it comes to boxing.
Marquez shouldn't even be in these kind of arguments. I could be accused of being biased because he is my favourite fighter, but he didn't become my favourite fighter for no reason - it was due to his skill, heart, technique, ability to adapt and persevere. Alvarez might be the media darling but I guess that's about as important as Khan being the media darling over here - ie not very important to boxing fans.
