I think Marquez would be even more dangerous if...

[Mr. Ryan]

I feel like that's that Mexican brawler mentality that tends to take over. I feel like the same thing happened with Barrera too. In order to beat Pacquiao you cannot afford to sit and trade. He's just to damn fast and powerful. You need to strictly box him.

I guess he thought that Pac only had one previous fight at 122 and was a former flyweight champ and felt he was stronger. He was wrong. When he fought his fight, the fight that brought him to the belts, he had success.

I know. Maybe they just get impatient with that style and want to look more impressive or fight in a crowd pleasing manner. I know a lot of casual fans don't appreciate someone who can put on a boxing clinic, but me personally, I think watching someone systematically break an opponent down is amazing.

In the first Pacquiao fight he tried to stand his ground and back him up. It didn't work.

Being more aggressive would negate what makes Marquez a great fighter, he'd be just another 30+ fighter open to the attacks of younger foes.

Agreed. I remember in that first fight he landed a good shot and then tried for some more and Pac made him pay. And we all know how that first round turned out. Then after a round or two he went to his usual style and boxed the pants off of Pac.

Your right to, his style works great for his age and the reason why he hasn't faded while he's gotten older.

Yep. Most who sit and trade with Pac can't match his handspeed and power. It seems anybody that tries ends up on their ass pretty quick.

[Mr. Ryan]

He was backing up when Pac put him on his ass the firsdt 3 times. He can be knocked down counterpunching or being aggressive. I would to have JMM be more aggressive just like the threadstarter said.

You would like him to, yes, that'd make for more exciting fights. That doesn't mean he'd be more successful.

In the first round Marquez was doing some leading, throwing double jabs and mixing in the right hand leads. Marquez is a counter-puncher, counter-punchers don't lead. He was being aggressive by throwing shots and got caught.

[MANGLER]

JMM knows when to go all out and when to be defensive. He's a smart fighter.

He should stop being defensive and be a warrior! Plain and basic common sense!!!

He needs to be a more aggressive boxer. Doesnt mean walk forward and trade shots, but a lot of times he just sits back and waits to counter. I think he's good enough to set up scoring shots with his boxing by initiating the action, not just waiting counter.

He doesn't have head movement, if he was more aggressive he'd get stopped sooner or later.

[Papa Ace]

Marquez would have been more dangerous if had he stop whining. He would have gotten the rematch much earlier and we could have probably been having a 2nd rematch just about this time if he havent been ****** enough to bungle the purse issue.

[The Gully Gad]

I think JMM is fine the way he is now...

Watching him is a treat..The way he puts his shots together speed
his agressive when need be

Great fighter
