whats Juan manuel marquez up to?

he's dumb for thinking like he is smart LOL :D :D :D

Just a shame that no ordinary fans can appreciate JMM's mastery of boxing. People want to see action and most of JMM's fight is very one sided. Lot of people find his style very boring. Now the thing that I don't get is that people will actually watch Ruiz and not watch JMM. That just boggles the mind. I'd rather watch somebody put on a clinic than a hug fest.

try dropping by at pinoy lang and PM kadyo for millions... lol... he's the most generous person i that thread... see yah around...I might take you up on the invitation, buddy, and try to beg from Kadyo some time close to the fight date! LOL!!! Thanks! See ya :)

I think that Marquez was scheduled to fight in the undercard or Roy vs. Tarver 3, but he got sick, so it got rescheduled for november and will be aired in showtime. Could it be that the Marquez you are referring to is Rafael, the younger brother? Rafael was slated to defend his IBF title vs. Silence Mabuza, but contracted the flu. He is now scheduled to meet Mabuza as part of the card headlined by Lacy-Pemberton.

good to be back... thanks... i know it can sell itself but the more hype there is, the more trash talk... lol... and the larger the bets... :DYou got it! Can't bet much anymore though. My money has dwindled to close to zilch after having been absent from this site for months! Gotta build up my kitty from now till fight time. I just hope I'll find the time. :) My best to the fellas at Pinoy Lang! Catch ya later, pal!

trying to get a fight

nice... i agree... but you focused on morales more... you're really hyping that rematch... :D Heya, buddy! Thanks! Had to talk about Erik's prior fights (he had only Raheem after Pac) to illustrate the point, pal! LOL!!! The January set-to can do very well without any help from me, buddy! It sells itself!:D Good to see ya again!

yup. Marquez may have won mo rounds than Pac, but shyyyyyyt! Pac's 1st round did mo damage than Marquez' all won rounds combined.

Pac is Lucky that second fight with JMM didn't go ahead!It would have been a loss for him dude!! He just want it to make more money cause he knew that a lot fans were looking forward to that fight! Pac has NOt put away anyone else besides Barrera & that was back in 2003... OHHH I forgot... he Ko tha well known Fahsa 3k & Vazquez.. future HOF's! :D He has a another LOSS coming around the corner this January! :D A minor point: Neither has Barrera nor Marquez been able to put away Hall of Famers since their respective meetings with Pacquiao. Barrera has met Morales (a viritable HOF) but was not able to put him away. Marquez has not met any. He met Victor Polo and Orlando Salido. Hall of Fame materials or not, neither was put away. Morales has had three stoppages prior to meeting Barrera and Pacquiao: Eddie Croft in 2003 -TKO 3 Velardez in May 2003- TKO5 Espadas Jr. in Oct 2003 -KO 3 Hall of Fame materials? The only HOF material Erik faced prior to the last Barrera fight was Paulie Ayala. Ayala may be seen as HOF material but at a lower weight class. Besides, he was not taken out by Morales. Morales has had only one fight after Barrera and Pacquiao meetings. We know what happened. Zahir Raheem did. If Kevin Kelley can be considered HOF material, then, it seems that, in recent years, it is Kelley who has earned the dubious distinction of being the only HOF candidate that Erik put away in the past five years. (In El Paso, Sept 2, 2000 for the WBC Interim Featherweight Title.) Earlier big victims were Junior Jones (TKO 4- Sept 1998) and Daniel Zaragoza (KO11- Sept 1997). (What's with Erik and the month of September?;) )

If you don't think that Marquez is a CHICKEN, then you must be on CRACK. Forget about Pac, what about the $1.5 Million offer by the Morales camp, still not enough? Right now, nobody would even bid $50 grand for any of his fights. Face it, Marquez is a CHICKEN. Even some Mexican fans are ashamed of him. I believe the 1.5 million purse was not offered to him, that's what JMM manager Ignacio Beristain, demanded for the fight, which was more than twice the original offer made to them. At any rate, Beristain has managed to negotiate his fighter out of two mega fights and some good cash.

Refusing to fight Pac for US$750Gs and Morales for US$1.5M sum up to US$2.250 lost. That's something to lose! At age 32 (having celebrated his 32nd birthday last August), going at an average of 2.2 fights a year since 2002, and having tucked 47 fights under his belt... It don't see that it makes any sense for JMM not to make hay while the sun shines. If he keeps the pace, he shall have only six or seven more fights left in him before turning 35. He and Ignacio should try and see to it that of those six or seven fights at least three would be vs. big names, e.g., Morales, Barrera (though they're such good friends both say a fight between them won't ever happen, but let's see...), Pac. How much is he going to make fighting for that WBC belt, which is reported to be his next outing? Pac and Erik are going to get real $$$$s without fighting of any WORLD BELT in January. Just an "International" one, if that. ;)
