He is already a legend in Mexican boxing, but Juan Manuel Márquez wants more. He wants to go down in history along with the great Mexican boxer Julio César Chávez. It isn’t enough to be one of the best Mexican boxers. “El Dinamita,” the Dynamite, wants it all.
In an interview with RUMBO, Márquez said he would "write one of the greatest chapters in the history of Mexican boxing" on Sept. 19 when he goes up against Floyd Mayweather, Jr. at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
If you win, would this be your greatest victory?
Marquez: The truth is that it would be a great triumph for Mexican boxing and I’m going to have that in my mind. I want to give my country a great satisfaction so they remember this night as one of the most glorious in the history of boxing.
The money is secondary to me because not everyone has this chance to make history. I have that chance now and I will not waste it.
Mayweather, Jr. says you are far from being like J.C. Chávez [Mexican boxer Julio César Chávez González].
Marquez: I respect his opinion but I warn him: He isn’t facing J.C. Chavez Sept. 19. He’s facing J.M. Márquez, and Márquez is writing his own history. We’ll see in the end how it turns out and the people will judge where I deserve to be. I don’t talk outside of the ring. I’ve always said, ‘My story is going to be written with my fists.’
