Juan Manuel Marquez is nearing the end of his career

[2501]

And in his last 3 fights, he took on Juarez, Pacquiao, then moved on the challenge Casamayor in a weight he would be small in, is now facing Diaz and wants Nate Campbell after to entice Pacquiao for a rubber match.

That my friends is how you near the end of your career. Win or lose, he's going out like a real *****.

And the sky is blue.

And the sky is blue.

but do you know WHY the sky is blue?

[ulises_solis]

yes indeed i think its foolish to fight diaz very high risk and no reward ill be betting on diaz because of his amazing chin and combinations
he shoulda fought campbell and make some history
he hasnt showed many signs of slowing down but thats boxing fighters get old in one day

but do you know WHY the sky is blue?

Air molecules and becuase Marquez is 35.

but do you know WHY the sky is blue?

The vast regions of outer space are shrouded in darkness. What we call sky is the atmosphere that surrounds the earth, the region of space that is visible to the human eye. Looking up into this large expanse, the sky, many have wondered, ‘Why is the sky blue?’ Why not violet, green, yellow, orange, or red—the other basic colors of the visible spectrum?

Sunlight consists of light of various wavelengths, which are seen as the different colors of the visible spectrum. The longest of these light waves are red, and the shortest are blue or violet. The gas molecules of our atmosphere scatter far more light of the shorter wavelengths, the blue, than of the longer wavelengths, the red. As a result, clear sky has a blue color. The air surrounding the earth, with its innumerable particles of solid materials, such as dust, scatters light to give the appearance of visibility, as though reflected from a mirror.

On the other hand, when the sun is near the horizon, sunlight travels through a greater amount of atmosphere to reach the eye, and the longer waves penetrate better than the shorter waves, causing the sky to take on a deep orange and red appearance. Solid particles in the air accentuate the reddening. Similarly, when smoke or dense clouds fill the sky, light waves of all colors are scattered. This causes the sky to appear gray.

exactly. The color of the sky is one of the most common things people take for granted, never actually wondering or even curious as to why it is the color it is.

Here's hoping he's not about to end his career.

At this stage, I don't think he's near the end at all. He only started taking punches after the 1st Manny fight when he shifted from pure boxer to boxer/brawler.

[My Name Is...]

Yeah, he sure is. It seems like the only way that he can get ANY kind of recognition is by fighting hard fights. While Cotto comes and puffs his record with cream puffs, and Manny makes his off of what should have been 2 losses against JMM. Also Margs loses to PWill and beats Cotto now he gets recognized. Hatton LOSES to Mayweather and is more popular than ever. Berto beats a bum for a title, now he is the future. Angulo beats Tsurkan (WHO?) and he is the heir apparent. All while JMM is in the back waiting to be recognized.

I mean, give JMM his motherphuckin props.

JMM is a LEGEND.

[MANGLER]

JMM is a ****in beast. He's havin his hottest career run at the tail end of it. If he can't get the Pac rematch, I wanna see he and Nate scrap.
