The Myth of Juan Manuel Marquez

[mangler jr]

they're not lies.

i'm telling you.

i swear on my family.



hamed offered jmm a fight. jmm turned it down.

morales offered jmm a fight. jmm turned it down and pac took the fight.

jmm turned down the immediate rematch with pac.


these are all true. i don't need to make it up.

Its an obvious bait thread. And I don't believe any of the bold. History all suggest the exact opposite.

It makes sense too. Why would Barrera and Morales fight Marquez if they didn't have too?

And Hamed? That guy was more protected than Ricky Hatton. Why the hell would he fight a guy that would've made him look amateur.

[mangler jr]

I don't even wanna say Morales ducked JMM, cuz' Morales doesn't duck fights.

But Arum knew it was a bad matchup for him and never allowed it to happen.

He wasn't gonna let JMM spoil his cash cow at the time.

I know JMM turned down the Morales fight, but it was Hamed who turned down JMM!!

it's the truth , jack. i'm telling you.

hamed avoided jmm. that said there was ONE time when he offered jmm a fight. jmm turned it down.

the morales fight was for sure. morales had just lost to barrera. morales wanted a big name fight right away to get the taste of the loss out of his mouth. arum offered it to marquez. marquez turned it down. arum got him pac instead.

steward didn't like a marquez fight. so they avoided jmm for the most part.

there was one time when jmm was offered a fight though.

it was back in like 2000 or 1999 or so.

hamed's opponent pulled out and they asked jmm to fill in. jmm asked for more money.

Funny, a Tua fan talking about myths.................

Lol nah just joking, Tua's alright.

But yeah, Marquez, i think he gets slightly over-rated, and i reckon Hamed may just of handled him..........

If you watch the dismantling of Hamed by Barrera, I think it's safe to say that JMM could've accomplished that as well.

Well, we were talking prime for prime in the other thread. When Erik and MAB were prime they weren't looking for JMM.

Morales wanted it on the heels of a loss, but knowing the hate Arum had for Nacho and JMM they probably lowballed him and so it was probably good of JMM to stand his ground.

I don't get it with this guy. They're still trying to **** him now. Look at what Nacho said they tried to do w/ the Khan fight.

JMM is like the Rodney Dangerfield of boxing. No matter what he does, he can't get no damn respect.

maybe.

but i also know hamed hits a lot harder than pacquiao. hamed has a good chance for the ko.

[El Castigador]

Truth be told JMM wouldve beat the **** out of Hamed.
