Sabaupan, Likar Ramos, Really??? I mean he will have a KO% of 90 before he ends his carreer. Thats why Im thinking even if again he is competetive with PAC I wont give him credit. Marquez is like Mayweather, waiting for PAC to wear out fighting big, young guys...
its just the way it is... why deprive him of opportunities to get money for his family?...
nah... marquez is a whiny beach who live and breathes pacquiao day in and day out... :lol1:
Mesa. Prescott is beautiful man. What part of colorado you from
I'm from Denver, my father moved out to Colorado Springs, originally from pittsburgh and Fort Hood, when he was a senior in high scool because my grandfather was re-stationed to work on Fort Carson down in the Springs. So he then moved up to Denver, the Northeast Park Hill neighborhood, and that's where I grew up. I live in Southeast Aurora now, because I finally got myself a good paying job. Love the deserts though, all through the 4Corners man.
And yeah my grandfather on my father's side retired to Pueblo, CO in the high desert down there. And my grandmother from my mother's side retired to Prescott, and I have cousins in Drexel down in Tucson.
I wanna retire to Grand Junction, Moab, or Mesquite some day. The desert is just something else.
Sorry bud, fighting past prime fighters and STILL forcing a CW is pacquiao's thing.
Marquez beat Pac.
And yet all those past prime fighters will never be on Marquez radar for tune ups because they can put a big hole in his ass.
you're asking the wrong Q here lets look at Manny Pacquiao history
fought Mosley after a Draw with Mora
fought Margarito after Garcia
Fought Marquez after Ramos
Fought Bradley after Casamayor
why should Marquez break this trend??
Except Pacquaio.
If people are willing to pay to see him smash nobodies every couple of months, why not? The guy is 38 and doesn't make what the other top guys make. If he wants to grab as much cash as he can, while he still can, go for it!
if it was that often i could understand it.. but its not.
Bullsh..it. Both Margarito and Mosley were big underdogs in those fights. Thanks for proving my point.
Obviously you dont recall the polls here regarding the prediction to those fights. Was Pac a favorite?...Sure. But they were both intriguing matchups given the size and power advantages both fighters had over Pac. What advantages does Fedchenko have over JMM or where do u even see Fedchenko being competitive against JMM ?
For the same reason Pacquiao gets a pass for avoiding OST and fighting old guys at weights they don't even belong in and still gets outboxed by.:dunno:
Yet there were a good amount of people picking both fighters to beat Pac due to their size and power. Who the hell is picking this fedchenko guy to beat JMM?

You wouldn't be one of them. I'm sure were perfectly ok with the Margarito catch weight fight as well as the Mosley fight.
Yet there were a good amount of people picking both fighters to beat Pac due to their size and power. Who the hell is picking this fedchenko guy to beat JMM let alone even be competitive?
Had Pac took a fight like this before a 4th bout with JMM he would get lambasted by the critics.
The same people in this thread defending JMM for this would be crucifying Pac had he took on the same opponent.
You wouldn't be one of them. I'm sure were perfectly ok with the Margarito catch weight fight as well as the Mosley fight.
Is he going to get credit for fighting tune ups? Is he going to get worse because he's fighting lesser fighters?
No, so who the fuk cares?
I agree. It's not like Marquez has not fought top fighters. And he's not getting a lot of credit for these type of fights anyway so it really doesn't matter. When fighters of his status get that age I do give them a pass at this point. He doesn't need to build a reputation because he has already established it. If he wants to tune up before a big payday I'm cool with it.
I'm not sure that washed up, plaster less version of Margartio was better than Fedchenko to be honest.
well i think he was...definitely a bigger named fighter and more accomplished than a relatively unknown fighter from europe who has okay boxing skills and very little power.
marg was suspended and fought a guy thats not even on wikipedia then it was for a title?????? so u mean i he got suspended for cheating or trying to cheat then he comes back n fights a nobody and this gives him a shot a the title?????? that fight was pure trash!!!!!!!
only fight he won in his last 4 was a Ramos type of a bum and Margarito still couldn't put him to sleep before Manny fighting him at a catchweight for a vacant belt
This is a big problem among boxing fans IMO they would rather see a world class fighter fight 40+ yr old, out of shape, drug abusing shot-to-**** fighters than see them in with a young, strong, hungry fighter trying to make a name for himself.
Let the young talent come through and make a nice payday rather than these old men who have nothing left & won't even attempt to make a fight out of it.
I don´t think he is fighting Sabaupan, but it would be okay because nobody wants Márquez to be in a war just before Pac, except of course Roach and Pacteam.
Would you be ok with Pac being in a war right before a 4th fight with JMM?
