I'm liking the show, especially the drama aspect. You cannot "fake" the intensity of boxers, and the fighters on The Contender all seem very focussed and determined. That said, the competitions are stupid (dodgeball, wtf?) and the celebrity cameos are lame.
It's nice to see boxing on network television. Watch the show.
So Marquez has chosen the right victim where he has confidence to beat. He should show more cohones if he still wants be recognised as one of the best in the division.
Totally agree. If Morales says he wants two more fights in '05, why doesn't JMM take him on? It is doubtful Morales would fight MAB once (Rnd IV) and MP twice (one being the rematch) in the same year. This is JMM's chance to join the group of elites.
We definitely need to see JMM against one of the other two mexicans though...
Exactly.
Though I'm eagerly awaiting MAB-EM IV, I would love to see JMM take on either of the two fighters. I rank JMM last out of the "big four" until he proves he is truly an elite fighter.
Both Pacquiao and Morales would be better suited to face MAB at this juncture. Morales would have the opportunity to avenge his losses and Pacquiao would have the opportunity to prove hands-down that he can take down the best (MAB, in my opinion).
A rematch would be sweet, but Morales - MAB IV would be a better fight.
