Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Admits He Begged For Fifth Marquez Fight, Does Not Regret KO Loss

[Oregonian]

Marquez is the type to keep losing a game and begging his opponent for one more try then leaves immediately after he wins because he likes the feeling.

——-
You are talking about Manny … he begged and got how many rematches?
Let’s count them
Barrera x2
Morales x3
Bradley x3
Marquez x4
And of course tried to get rematches with Floyd and Horn and now Ugas.

Marquez wasn't celebrated like the other two, he fought in obscurity for a while until he established himself. The age is inconsequential related to their peek. I see were this is going and we can agree to disagree.

I only mention the age difference because you seemed to imply that Morales would have been disadvantaged if he fought JMM. Marquez certainly did fight in EM’s and Barrera’s shadows for a while. My recollection is that he had clammored for a fight with both guys but neither was interested. Who knows what’s true? I bet my brother that JMM would beat them both and won money when he cleanly decisioned MAB.

Pac didn't have to give Marquez another shot but he did.

Marquez didn't have to give Pac another shot and he didn't.

That says a lot.

Well, lets give credit to the man that made JMM KO'ed Pac, it is Memo Heredia. The first 3 fights, JMM countered Pac so many times, Pac was never knockdown. Only in the 4th.

And in 3, 2, 1...........

"This is boxing, you cannot always keep winning, sometimes you lose..."
And then when you lose, you make excuses like cramps, socks, my soup was too hot, my soup was too cold, I gave too much blood before a fight, etc.
