Marquez looked foolish because he tried to do a Pacquiao!

[The Noose]

All I can say he got what he deserve, an embarrassment. Can he seriously think that he can just weight hop like a freak nature like Pacquiao did. Haven't he realized that his natural gifts isn't the same as Manny Pacquiao. Marquez who had no troubles making weight, had no reasons whatsoever to move up in weight went straight to welterweight to challenge Mayweather is like signing your retirement paper. He looed dumb doing it, he got his ass whipped and got what he deserve, plain and simple...

At no point did JMM looKfoolish.

Some would say that Floyd, the self proclaimed ATG looked foolish agreeing to fight a smaller, older boxer, and even coming in over the weight limit made Floyd look extremely foolish.

JMM took the fight because he is a true warrior, and wanted to challenge himself against a fighter with every advantage. And $$$$.

Going the distance with a much bigger ATG made many fans respect JMM. Somthing Floyd could learn from.

Its not just about winning.

JMM moving up 2 weight divisions is like asking PBF to move up to middleweight and beat BH. PBF would be carrying extra baggage, even if on the surface he didnt look fat. If BH beat PBF easy at middleweight, noone would be giving BH too much credit.

So PBF shouldnt be given too much credit.

JMM fighting at 147 is like Floyd fighting at 154

Floyd is a career SFW, JMM is a career FW

This anwsers the question if Marquez is a living legend....pfff

[JBell11]

Yeah..no one can knock Marquez...if anything Marquez stock went up solely because of his heart.

Straight up MOSELY vs MAYWEATHER!!!!!

[cmartez]

Marquez dared to be the greatest Mexican fighter of all time. Cant fault him for trying.

Sure at the end it proved to be a bad decision, but at least he made more money in this fight than he ever has, and at age 36.

I give him major props for having the balls to take on Mayweather.

Well put. Marquez losses nothing for trying. It takes heart to go after the best out there, so he losses nothing in my book.

Ok then. PBF needs to fight a great 154lb guy. I dont think DLH was that guy after how pac dealt with him. But PBF isnt no SFW now anyway. He cant make light welter to even face hatton at 140lb.
So yes he would need to move up to middleweight. He is 5ft8. Duran was shorter and beat Barkley.
So if PBF is great he needs to challenge himself and leave no stone unturned. He is giving his critics ammunition.

LOL Marquez goes up two divisions to face arguably the best boxer of the last 20years, Meanwhile Pac faces the skelton of Hoya and im fookin massive but pretty crap and ****** Ricky Hatton

but hatton actually wins rounds against mayweather

Well put. Marquez losses nothing for trying. It takes heart to go after the best out there, so he losses nothing in my book.

Well said... Good to see him make the final bell too.

Pacquiao didnt move up 2 divisions to fight mayweather! mayweather is different class. marquez showed the desire and balls to be the best by challenging an unbeaten former/current p4p number 1. when he could have stayed at home in mexico and fight mandatory challengers all the time. that deserves respect.

This is a **** thread. If anything he did Pacquiao's heavy lifting for him by fighting Mayweather. Floyd has a totally different style than the kind of straightforward styles that Manny has been in with. Arum won't ever let a Pacquiao-Floyd fight happen in my opinion. I like Pacquiao a lot just like I do JMM, but when people make these ****** threads and comments I go off.
