My Mexican people might get mad at this....

I think that Marquez is taking this Mayweather fight for nothing more than a payday.

I don't know if he really thinks he can beat this guy. Personally I can't see anyway that Marquez can beat Floyd. Floyd is bigger, stronger, hits harder, is quicker and has almost every intangible in this fight.

I love Marquez don't get me wrong. I will be rooting for him to win but I think that he wasn't given the 3rd Pacman fight and he decided he's 36 years old and needs to get paid. I don't blame him, I just don't want to see him get hurt or knocked out.

Marquez is an ATG, his resume speaks for itself. The man has fought the best and beat the best. He came up in a div that was arguably one of the toughest and deepest ever and is the last one standing.

He doesn't have great speed, strength, power or even a great chin. Yet he has managed to beat the best because he's probably the best PURE boxer and most intelligent fighter in the world today.

He is like a coach in the ring and coming from a trainer like me, that's a dream come true. When your fighter sees things at the same time you do, that's a quality you hardly ever will find in a fighter.

It's a shame that he didn't get the 3rd Manny fight because the more time that passes by and the more fights he has, he slips farther and farther away from his ability to beat someone like Manny.

I just hope it's a competitive fight between him and Floyd.

I agree with most of it. I also think he will get a 3rd fight if Pac loses to Cotto.

I don't see that happening. I don't think Pac loses to Cotto. I also know that fighters tend to get old quick and I see JMM retiring after this fight.

[Mr. Fantastic]

I don't think JMM is the type to go out with a loss.

I agree, but you can't say that Marquez hasn't earned a payday. Mayweather really should stop JMM, but i'm not sure how much the lay-off will have affected him....i can't see Mayweather having ring rust to be honest.

[The Underboss]

I agree, but Marquez will give it all he got, and that's what matters.

I think ur right ab him taking this for the payday.. but i think marquez thinks he's gonna win.. if he does and manny beats cotto then jmm/pac 3 has to happen

i pretty much agree with the whole initial post...

JMM saw his best shot to get his biggest payday, and why not take it?!?!?

he's my fave for sure, but a) i think he loses and b) i think he will retire when he's done....

but ill be tuned in for sure

[Zhaakal]

Come on. The dude drinks piss for this fight... He definately want's to win it.

Either way...I give him props for stepping up to Floyd...the fact that Floyd is bigger, stronger, faster. Payday or not...his life/wellness is on the line. Money can't buy heart.
