JMM Overly Overrated?

Honestly, JMM doesn't have any chance or hope to win his fight with Mayweather this month. Why else would Mayweather choose him for his tune up fight before Manny. He isn't in Mayweather's or in Pacman's league. I believe Mayweather will destroy JMM. Pacman at this stage would annihilate him under 2 rounds. Remember he also lost the 1st Pac fight. Had the judge scored the 1st round correctly and scored it 6/10 for Pac, it would have been a split decision for Pac. It is mandatory that you score the round as 6/10 if the other boxer gets knocked down 3 times in the same round. The judge admitted his idiotic mistake after the fight. So really the fight was stolen from Pac. JMM couldn't get this into his head and even believes up to this day that he was the one robbed. What a total loser- in all essence of the word.

Everybody knows that Marquez ducked Pacman for a rematch after that fight. He avoided Pac and JMM's coach, Beristain, protected his fighter and took all means possible to avoid a rematch. JMM fought for next to nothing overseas (Indonesia, I think) and lost the belt just to avoid Pacman. Now he is running around like a headless chook chasing for Pacquiao. Karma I guess.

The people are right not to give him credit. JMM's ONLY claim to fame is that he gave Manny a hard time. That's all! Any fighter can lay claim to hurting another boxer, but only the best can make you kiss the canvas. In Marquez' case, 4 times he french kissed the canvas against Pacman. Marquez just doesn't have the power to land any of those punches.That is why he has never gotten into any sort of money fights except the one with Pac. You will NEVER see him in a big fight if he's not fighting a superstar.

He is lucky that Mayweather agreed to fight him and not other better and proven welterweights. But of course history will show why Mayweather chooses who he fights. He is 100% he can beat them. Mayweather is smart, he knows who to choose for his tune up fight.

Pac and Mayweather at 140lbs or higher, with their fine tuned boxing skills, speed and power, would drop Marquez like a fly. No way he will survive any fights with these 2 boxing superstars at welterweight.

Unfortunately that is the hard truth.

Why do mexicans hate JMM and would even go for Pacquiao when they fight again? Simple, mexicans don't like whiners and sore losers. If you lose because you've been knocked down cold 4 times, be man enough and be gracious and respectful. Mexicans lost respect for JMM because of that. That is why they never treated him like a son up to this day and will forever be under the shadows of the likes of Morales and Barrrera. These mexicans are real tough men who don't complain and just do their talking in the ring everytime they fight. Unlike JMM.

    What the hell. Have you seen him fight Barrera? Im pretty sure I heard the crowd cheered louder for JMM. And Barrera is Mexican. Marquez is not overrated period. Mayweather challenged him because he thinks this fight is gonna be a no brainer for him. Well we'll see about that. You will eat your words HATER.

    John B is right. All you guys talk about is PBF, JMM, Pacman. Hope this will be the last question. You guys are too impatient for Marquez and Pacman to be in the ring. You cannot easily say that Marquez will lose the fight, remember PBF's lay-off? His reflexes can be rusted by such a long lay-off. Mexicans love Pacman and Filipinos like Marquez(in my observation)? That is weird.

  • I agree with Jon B.

    As much as there is to say about JMM, Pac, and Money Mayweather, there's still plenty of other fighters to talk about. And not just welterweights, but from all weights, from Heavy to Straw.

    I wouldnt move so far as announcing Manny is puffed up, sure he's getting plenty of concentration proper now however its good deserved concentration, he takes out his competitors effortlessly in recent times. Marquez is slightly underrated, no longer so much, just a bit, my best assumption is on account that of Manny Pacquiao, Manny is taking on such a lot hype proper now at this very second that he is frequently in a league of his possess in terms of cognizance proper now. The traditional individual recognize who Pacquiao is, even those who dont comply with boxing recognize the title Pacquiao, the traditional individual couldnt let you know who Marquez is intent like i stated, its all approximately exposure. I can practically assurance you Marquez doesnt care if he is underrated or puffed up, he is within the battle recreation to win thats it similar to evryone else.

    Well if JMM is over rated then so is Pacquiao because they both showed that their boxing intelligence is extremely similar.

    Tell me what JMM has accomplished with evidence, if you are siding with him? I dont want to take anything from JMM but I have always been a bigger fan of Erik Morales and Barrera. I accepted the fact that Morales beat Pac, no controversy there, no complains, I just shut the fck up! He clearly lost to Barrera who beat him 262-255 punches thrown and Barrera also scored a knockdown. Barrera was robbed and that was the most important victory in his career. Barrera was coming of a loss by TKO to Pacquiao but still beat JMM.

    Who the hell is Rocky Juarez, a guy who never won a belt? Casamayor, 37 years old and Juan Diaz had no belt and was beaten by Nate Campbell. JMM was up 5-1 to beat these guys in the LV odds but he struggles in both fights, especially with Diaz winning most of the rounds until the KO. I was there in Houston for God's sake!!

    Then you include Chris John, who beat JMM. Here comes JMM again crying, but when he is rewarded by a controversial win against Barrera he takes it. Tell me what has JMM do besides give pac a close fight to deserve the 2 P4P title?

    Remember fellas, this is the man that thinks Pacquiao is better than Muhammad Ali and Sugar Ray Robinson.
