Being a sports fan is a greatly pleasant experience. To watch these great athletes square at their roles, testing themselves, getting themselves to the limit is really inspiring and even heroic.
That's why boxing is one of my favorite sports. The physical condition a boxer requires before a fight has to be Top Notch. Their training sessions are a living hell, and they have to put themselves to the very edge of body limits in order to get in the best possible shape to a fight. Any Pro Boxer deserves infinite respect for the sacrifices they make are endless.
Among all my personal boxing heroes, there is one that will always be Number One in my heart. As nostalgic as I sound there, with no regrets I can say that he earned punch by punch, sweat by sweat, and cut by cut everything that he's achieved. He's one of the best counter-punchers of this generation, with an outstanding boxing IQ. A heart of a champion who has never given up inside a ring nor life. A real and true inspiration to everyone, and a living example that with hard work, anything is achievable; Yes I'm talking about the one and only, the real "Dynamite" Juan Manuel Marquez.
Juan Manuel Marquez is a Mexican Warrior who has been at many battles. He's always remembered for his fights against Manny Paquiao, but believe me, Manny wasn't the only one who tested Juan to his limits. What I like about this legend is his high boxing IQ, Juan was able to adapt upon any adversity. If you watch his fight against Juan Diaz (first fight), you'll totally understand what I'm saying. His counter punching ability is God Level stuff, if boxing was art, then Marquez would definitely be the Picasso of counter punching. His timing was surgical and his will unbreakable.
Certainly, Juan Manuel Marquez is my favorite boxer of all time. So tell me Scorum Boxing Fans...
