What was the excuse to fight Marquez again Floyd Stans?

[fightfan_79]

Exactly. What better way to come out of a near 2 year layoff than to fight the #2 P4P In The World? Not tomato can, but a live opponent.

Does somebody need to put these answers in their sig so folks remember?

Is him getting a win over the #2 p4p fighter.....who obviously had no business at WW, and again.....he made Marquez come up in weight. If Marquez was so much a tuneup as you all like to call him.....why not fight a tuneup that was in the WW division?

Does someone need to put in their sig that Floyd is a WW? Fight a WW.....if he's a JrWW...fight a JrWW......if he fought Marquez...he couldn't even get down to 140? Put that in your dam sig.....

and what was pacquiao's excuse to run from marquez for 4 years again?

[MindBat]

A blown up #2 PVP in the world. From 130-147.
I know some people can do it, but Marquez sure can't. Besides, he's a counter-puncher. May made him the aggressor. Good strategy on his part but he's the bigger man.

That's all good and well, but Marquez called him out, they agreed to accept
600k for the weight overage, and the show went on.

The Marquez camp could have easily refused to face Mayweather if they were not sure they could beat him.

Every stipulation was on the contract they signed and no one but some fans on some forums protested.

BUT they fought.........was there and excuse? Let's see....Morales trilogy, Barrera II, Velasquez, Larios, Solis......sound like excuses?

Marquez....instead went to Indonesia....when an re-match was offered but the money wasn't good enough for him.....which would've been before Morales II.......Pac wasn't the one with excuses....what's yours?

Umm....Mosley called out Floyd...but he would rather talk about basketball....I don't blame Marquez for taking the fight.....Marquez was in the same position Manny was in for the DLH fight....no one gave him a chance, the excuses were ready if he lost to Floyd....and it was his biggest payday......but don't say he was a "tuneup"...the man deserves more respect and credit than that....again..."Numero Uno" doesn't sound like a tuneup fight...

yes...ALL OF THOSE are excuses..he couldnt fight jmm within that and the trilogy??

and offering him 750,000 for the rematch is a joke assuming pac was going to make more than jmm after jmm beat pacquiao the hell up for 11 rounds..

Umm, mosley called out Floyd after May-Marquez fought.

What then do you call a fight when a fighter returns to the ring after a long lay-off?

Cotto returned after a beating at the hands of Margarito against Jennings and nobody said shiet. Why not? Who was Jennings? Again nobody said a peep when Cotto fought him.

Why are some people raggin' on Floyd for fighting the #2 P4P fighter in the world after a long layoff?

how is that a joke especially when he straight out ducked pacquaio and rather fight chris john for a bag of peanuts. 750,000 is good especially when pacquaio was the one who got robbed.

That's just hating........so your stating that Pacquiao's excuse was out-pricing himself out of a remtach?

And what was the offer for Pacquiao? Was it so much higer that Marquez didin't want to prove that he was the better fighter who supposedly won that night? Pac didn't hang around for a re-match....Marquez went and gambled over in Indonesia.....

because cotto never claimed hes the best, that he is the cashcow, and most of all cotto respects the boxing fans by coming in to fight and entertain them. cotto is not arrogant, should i continue?..nah i dont think so, you already get what i mean, you seem to be an intelligent person
