any body else feels like marquez won?

[Roxas]

I hope all the best for him in the future he is truly a nice guy.....

[PinoyZoi]

I doubt Marquez is gonna stay in Welterweight division for now on.

[sandyvahra]

Yeah because even casual fans could see the giant size disparity from round 1.

I wouldn't say he got schooled, he was always in the fight, he just lost most of the rounds, but its not like it Mayweather ever had him hurt or in trouble.

I just rewatched booze free and JMM landed some real nice shots too.

Only an idiot would think this diminishes him in any way.

It doesn't diminish him at all, but we're real boxing fans. Casual fans who saw him for the first time probably won't want to watch him again.

after his career was handled like **** for years under top rank, he started getting better paychecks with golden boy. but none of them were anything like the one hes getting for this fight at the end of the day. hes going to cash in on a good 7 million or more when everything is said and done. im happy to see him making this kind of money, a man that always works his ass off, a man that has given us great fights and is still trying at age 36. no other fight at 135 and 140 was going to get him this kind of money and pac was not going to fight him again. i also think that this fight got him major exposure, so when he goes down in weight and if he is able to make big fights against those guys, a much larger audience will know who juan manuel marquez is because of the exposure you get in a mega fight, the media, 24/7, promotions, the actual fight, etc. i also feel good that the commentators and the media gave spot light to the fact that marquez came up in weight and was at a size disadvantage. i dont know, over all i just feel like marquez won.

this fight could ruin his career. he might have hurt his rep w/ the mexican fanbase. the only way jmm might get another shot at pac is if he cleans out 140 lbs and all those are hard ass fights.

this was a good fight to cash out on, but if he really wanted to continue boxing, it was the wrong fight to take.

"Exposure" works when you get in front of a big stage and perform well and everyone wants to see you fight again. This wasn't THAT kind of exposure. It was more like the kind where every casual fan just "exposed" Marquez and saw him as an unskilled bum getting absolutely owned and manhandled at a 15% connect rate. I highly doubt any casual fans will want to watch him fight again.

i gave marquez a full respect for fighting a man who has 15-20lbs bigger than him and standing for 12 rounds.

as i said, more people will know his name. like i also said, im happy that the commentating team gave spotlight on how marquez was a light weight and was at a major disadvantage, as in the post fight interview: "marquez is a great little man". name recognition gets you places in some way some form. look at ricky hatton, he got embaraseed and got his head smashed into a ring post, alot more people knew him than when he was fighting jose luis castillo, he then was able to make another super fight a litlle over a year later.

[THE REED]

He's still the lightweight champion... Marquez will be fine.

[-MAKAVELLI-]

He's still the lightweight champion... Marquez will be fine.

Losing that extra muscle to go back to 135…at 36 years old is gonna be tough….especially the psychological effects of being dominated will linger….going to 140 and facing the young killers in that division doesn’t look good either….this bout might have been a career killer

I don't think the score cards reflected just how well Marquez did, all things considered.. He hit Mayweather in the face more often than most people do.. He just lacked the power to do any damage.. But Floyd knew that coming in..
