Juan Manuel Márquez Méndez (born August 23, 1973 in Mexico City, Distrito Federal, Mexico), is a Mexican professional boxer. He is the fourth Mexican-born boxer to become a three-division world champion, where he won eight world titles in three different boxing weight classes.
Currently, Marquez is the WBA, WBO and The Ring Lightweight World Champion. Ring Magazine currently rates Márquez as the number four pound-for-pound boxer in the world.
An orthodox boxer, Marquez is known for his speed and counter-punching style. His fighting style is elusive because in most of his fights, he's always rotating or moving his left hand and releasing overhand punches. He is also known for his precision power punching and devastating uppercuts. He is also noted as being one of the best combination punchers in the sport, capable of stringing together long series of punches from various angles that often forces his opponent onto the backfoot.
Juan had an amateur record of 35-1 that included two Golden Glove tournament wins. He made his professional boxing debut at age 19 on May 29, 1993, and lost his first bout via disqualification to Javier Duran.
