any body else feels like marquez won?

[IIG]

Marquez was fighting Floyd primarily to get at Manny again. So knowing that, it's hard to determine if he has won or lost yet. If Manny beats Cotto, he can say goodbye to facing him in the near future. If he loses to Cotto, I can definitely see a third fight with Marquez.

Obviously in the financial sense, Marquez won big last Saturday night. I say, he should take some time off, evaluate his situation, and decide whether or not to continue fighting. Marquez is not getting any younger and he's taken his share of punishment in his career; I'd hate for him to continue and get hurt...

even if floyd would've fully dropped the weight .. it woulda been a ass whoopin
with that said tho, Marquez is still a beast and i still say he'll beat Pac man

Nothing to be ashamed off.
Have one or two more fights and retire. Extra 1/2 mill.

Big respect to Marquez, he has always had heart and not afraid to take a fight. He will have disappointed lots of casual fans but the real fans still know he's the man - my respect for him has definitely increased through of all this debacle and it doesn't do his legend much harm

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 was a win-win situation for marquez even before the fight started....i've said that many times.

he'll be getting career-high money, and he lost to the best fighter in the world....no shame in that.

Yes Marquez won money wi$e. He can ride off into the sunset and not fight again if he chooses not to.

It's what Mosley so desperately wants to do as well.
