Comments Thread For: Marquez-Katsidis on Tap with Ricky Hatton Option Hanging

[Glamour Puss]

Seriously? Paulie out-BOXED Diaz. He didn't use his size to overpower and run through him. The fight had nothing to do with size. If Diaz is smaller, he should have been faster and have had the speed advantage. He didnt, because he sucks.

And Diaz won the first fight. So what?

JMM is leagues above both of them.

lmfao, so moving up makes you faster and gives you more speed? your a complete ***en idiot.

i bet you also think mayweather vs marquez didnt have anything to do with the weight right? shut the *** up you ****** clay aiken lookin mofker.

You need to rewatch that fight son. And how's he on a low note? He just lost to one of the best fighters of the generation after a giant leap in weight?

He's still poised for big fights for 10' including Hatton and Packy. How is that a low note???

What I was getting at was if he retired after the Floyd fight it would be a serious low note. I was pulling for him against Floyd but the huge weight issue made it a mismatch. He doesn't want to be known as "the guy that could go toe-to-toe with Pac", and taking down Katsidis and Hatton would really raise him a up.

Holy **** can you read? the smaller guy should be faster and use his speed against a bigger guy. You said Diaz got beat by a "bigger guy", remember? That would mean Paul used his weight and power as an advantage against Juan....

....which is the exact opposite of what happened. Paul used his speed to win the fight. How are you even arguing with me on this?

I've watched that fight 4 times now and I gain more respect for him everytime I see it.

Floyd was in top form and JMM hung tough for 12 rounds. Did he get walloped? Yeah, but it was against a much bigger guy who may be the best in the game.

No shame in that. I think most boxing people feel the same way. The only ones who really nailed him for it was the Ring mag who dropped him from #2 p4p all the way to 5.

I thought that was lame.

For sure, it made Marquez look really bad to casual fans. I'm sure a lot of people felt like they wasted their money on the PPV. A 140 fight would have been a completely different story.

I dont make predictions but this I feel this will be a strong contender for FOTY in 2010.

You guys do realize Katsidis got his ears boxed off by malignaggi right, and was dropped 3 times and KOed by Casamayor. Jay Em Em ****s him up and knocks him out.

They've never fought each other.

I can't wait to bet on this. People had better give me good odds.

This goes to show you that Hatton is totally gone. I wouldn't be suprised if we never see him in a ring again and he follows Kosta Tszyu's blue print. A Katsidis-JMM fight would be easy to make because they are both with GBP. I think JMM should fight Bradley instead though because if JMM lost to him he probably wouldn't suffer that much physical damage from him because of his lack of power. Even though Bradley is a harder fight than Katsidis, JMM will end up in a war with Katsidis and it will put more age on his body because Katsidis is a physically taxing fighter even though he's not the most skilled one.

There's really no reward in a Katsidis fight because JMM has already beaten two guys who have wins over him. If he beat Bradley, he could be the first Mexican fighter to win 4 titles in different divisions all the while claiming to have beaten the most solid title holder. That fight is high risk, high reward. Katsidis is a high risk, low reward fight.
