He got a draw and won a close decision in the rematch. If that doesn't warrant a rubber match than what does?
don't get it twisted
not against this fight whatsoever
would love to see the crybaby silenced once and for all
just saying it isn't warranted at all, Pac owes him nothing
he tried twice and came up short twice
above 135 this match is not competitive
but it's better than Mosley so do it
They fought 2 times (in my book 2 wins and very close) and Marquez declined a 3rd one to fight Chris John from Indonesia.
Marquez never declined a 3rd fight with Pacquiao to fight Chris John.
That John fight was YEARS ago.
?????????????????????????
Your title is the utmost misleading of all. What do you mean "why doesn't Pacquiao want to fight Marquez?"
They fought 2 times (in my book 2 wins and very close) and Marquez declined a 3rd one to fight Chris John from Indonesia.
Way to make this against Pacquiao whereas Marquez took himself out of the equation most specially fighting Chris John.
I don't think in that light that he deserves a 3rd fight while asking for a split on the money. That's illogical.
1.) Marquez didn't lose twice to Pacquiao. Whatever you might want to believe, the first fight is OFFICIALLY a draw, and the second one he won by a SINGLE point.
That's official. That's the record books. Regardless of what goes on inside you're mind.
2.) If you want to play that game, and not go by official records - Marquez beat John. Watch the fight. All John did was run around the ring and potshot Marquez with jabs, while Marquez landed the more telling blows, and should've been given the decision.
Actually, there was an error in the judging in the first fight, go look it up. Pac should have won that fight by a point.
And it's also OFFICIAL that Pac KO'd Morales twice and it doesn't matter what excuses you have in your mind as to why he lost the third fight.
It's also official that Marquez took what he thought was an easier fight after the first Pac fight instead of immediately rematching Manny.
Marquez has a history of making bad decisions, he needs to accept a reasonable offer and the fight will be on. Pac will KO Marquez in the 3rd round and we won't have to keep having these arguments.
Then one can view it as quite an accomplishment in Pac's case. He fought against someone in his prime, at his ideal weight, using a style which is known to be his weakness.
Based on what people are saying about him, he should have lost ten times over.
But he didn't.
Except that he busted the shit out of him three times in the first round, and broke his nose in the same round.
He was in a perfect situation but squandered it, you can call it what you want I am sure Pacquiao does not remember that situation fondly.
Alright, then it was a draw.
Scoring error, referee not deducting a point - it all washes even. And the fight was a draw.
its good that you pointed that out to me. I did see pac hitting marquez when he was down and do remember being disappointed at Pac for doing it.
It just didn't register to me that he should have been deducted a point at that time for that.
so yeah, i guess it should be a draw then.
Tough to win a fight losing ten straight rounds~ or even get a draw~

But he didn't.
The fight could have gone either way. Even i could see that.
One think i like about this fight is that Pac fought Marquez at his prime, at his IDEAL WEIGHT, and didn't CHEAT AT THE WEIGHT.
In a way, this fight could be shown as a great fight in the sense that two great fighters going at it with all they've got.
Like I said if you knock somebody down three times and find yourself in a close fight, what really happened in that fight.
That is not beating someone.
He lost ten straight rounds on my card, he was lucky to even get awarded a draw.
Still not a fight you should be talking loudly about

You don't EVER read about anyone complaining about Marquez being weight drained or shot when he fought Pac both times.
In a way, this fight could be shown as a great fight in the sense that two great fighters going at it with all they've got.
Knocking down someone three times, then being lucky to get a draw is not exactly what I would call beating.
Certainly not a fight I would be talking loudly about.
LOL at who's the one that was lucky to get the draw.
?????????????????????????
maybe its because Marquez has a winning streak and has looked dam good in recent fights....or they(Team Pac) might feel the same way as the MAJORITY of the boxing planet in the sense that JMM won the last fight and in BOTH fights have won more rounds :dunno:
Pac was actually UNLUCKY for getting the draw. One judge admitted his mistake which could have given Pac the win.

And Pacquiao should've had a point taken away for hitting Marquez when he was down.
Right, or wrong?
