Juan Manuel Marquez is one of those fighters who moves smoothly but doesn’t get much attention.
The noticeable thing about the IBF/WBA featherweight champion from Mexico City is the job he held until 2001.
Marquez was an accountant for the Mexican government. He felt he needed the job in case the boxing business failed him. Plus, his father always told him to keep a good job.
But the boxing business has been good to Marquez, and Saturday night, he faces one of the sport’s hottest fighters in Manny Pacquiao at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
