Having grown up in Mexico City, Mexico, boxing runs in his family as he is the brother of another boxer Rafael Marquez. At the young age of 19 in May 1993, he had his debut fight against Javier Duran, but unfortunately, it ended in a defeat. However, he then enjoyed a winning streak for six straight years, triumphing over the likes of Agapito Sanchez, Alfred Kotey, and Julio Gervacio.
In 1999, Márquez competed for his first world title against Freddie Norwood, but the bout ended in a controversial loss for him. He later secured another chance in 2003, and emerged victorious in a fight against Manuel Medina, thereby bagging the IBF featherweight title. He further clinched the WBA Super Featherweight title by defeating Derrick Gainer.
Márquez went on to face Manny Pacquiao, resulting in a draw. Despite the disappointment of many fans, the 2004 fight propelled Márquez into the limelight, enhancing his popularity in the boxing world and consequently bolstering his net worth.
After failing to defend his title, Márquez was stripped of his hard-earned featherweight belts in 2005. He made his initial attempt to reclaim a title by fighting Indonesian boxer Chris John in 2006, but suffered a defeat. Later that year, he tried again and emerged victorious, defeating Terdsak Jandaeng to win the interim WBO featherweight title.
In the subsequent year, upon moving up in weight class, Márquez challenged Marco Antonio Barrera for the WBC super featherweight title, which he won. However, the highlight of his year was his second meeting with Manny Pacquiao, which ended in another disappointment for Márquez as Pacquiao secured the title through a split points decision.
Following his defeat, Márquez chose to move up another weight class and defeated Joel Casamayor to win The Ring Magazine lightweight title. He later triumphed over Juan Diaz, clinching two titles – the WBO lightweight title and WBA super-lightweight title. The accolade of “Fight of the Year” garnered global attention, further elevating Márquez’s prominence and net worth.
Rising yet again to another weight class, Márquez faced the undefeated Floyd Mayweather Jr. However, he was defeated via a unanimous decision. He then returned to lightweight and once again emerged victorious against Juan Diaz.
In November 2011, Márquez fought Pacquiao once more. Despite a controversial decision, Márquez yet again faced defeat. After a year, the fourth and final fight was set, and this time Márquez achieved his much-anticipated victory, securing a knockout. The match earned him a well-deserved reputation and a significant increase in his net worth.
In his personal life, Márquez has been married to his wife Erika since 1996, and they have three children.
