Juan Manuel Marquez vs Timothy Bradley, May 8 2010 at Staples Center

[djsygo]

In my opinion, JMM wins. Hes the better boxer and Bradley doesnt look like he has big power either.

Stop posting as if you're posting actual news. This is a ******ed fight. Bradley isn't a draw in Los Angeles, and he'd beat JMM easy.

People who post downright lies (IE dates for fantasy fights in thread titles) should be instantly banned.

Oh, let me guess. You want to see the recycled Ricky Hatton get another undeserved shot at an elite fighter instead of seeing the best fight the best. Hatton looks fucked right now with being as fat as he is. And he's done.

bad matchup for jmm.

he's better off fighting hatton for 10 times more money.

Agreed.

JMM doesn't need these types of fights. He needs a good swansong and call it a day.

Hatton is perfect for that.

I know how much of a JMM fan you are Dap. But do you think that those wins over Diaz and Casamayor are starting to lose their luster? I say he should fight the Bradley-Peterson winner and go out as a 4 division champ. Neither one of those guys hit that hard and he'd get more credit for the win.

[El Angel]

It'd be a great fight to see, but he'd get more money and an easier fight against Hatton. After the Hatton fight if he decides to fight on, there might be more demand for a bout against Bradley.

[Zocalo]

Bradley has a contract with Showtime if I am not mistaken...

Why would the lose their luster? Cuz' he lost a boring decision to Mayweather?

Nah man.JMM's legacy is intact.

I think he's overachieved since moving up. He's gonna be 37' and there's no need to risk losing to inferior fighters on the way up just cuz' you're too old.

Hatton is a nice high profile match w/ lots of money involved.

JMM should take the money and get out.

We're not gonna know if he's really old until he fights again. There should be no shame in losing to Floyd like you pointed out. But people think he's done just because of that and want him to get the money and get out. I won't bash JMM that much if he fights Hatton and will understand why he goes in that direction. I just won't support it or give him credit for the win. If anybody is too old it's Hatton even though he's what 30?

Its a **** win. Hatton is done. Thats why I want him to take it.

Easy fight for good money.

They need to bring a JMM fight to California. And what a better date than a close one to Cinco de Mayo. I think this fight would do big money and might even top Margarito vs Mosley at the gate, Mexico's #1 versus the champion from southern california. It would also be a significant fight as Marquez tries to win titles in 4 divisions. Also, the fight would get promotion from the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight(if it happens the weekend before).

This is a very hard fight for the smaller, older Marquez going up against the bigger, faster, younger Bradley. So obviously there is a good chance that Marquez looses. If he wins then GREAT! It would be a big boost in his accomplishments and probably the best because at how much of a disadvantage he is at. If he looses, we have a new exciting super star to help out boxing. But the fans will win this night, their styles are going to make for a war.

So tell me you guys wouldnt want to enjoy a fight like this on a warm spring saturday on HBO World Class Boxing with the Mayweather vs Pacquiao replay to go along with it.

that's a good fight but jmm is still chasing pac
