Comments Thread For: Arum: Let Marquez Fight Berto, Then Push For Pacquiao

[Russian Crushin]

yeah but marquez can box. pacquiao does not want any part of marquez no matter what the pactoids say.

So exactly why will berto beat Marquez then? If he can outbox Pac, he can SURELY outbox berto right?

Marquez is not ****** enough to take a risk with a young Welterweight like Berto little money..... He might as wil fight Katsidas or go to England and fight Khan for some nice change....... Berto needs to fight guys his own age,weight class and who are relevant

On Thursday, Golden Boy Promotions President Oscar De La Hoya held a conference call with select media to state his case on why Manny Pacquiao should fight Juan Manuel Marquez in a trilogy bout on November 13 at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Pacquiao is scheduled to fight Antonio Margarito, who De La Hoya believes should be banned for life for last year's hand-wrapping scandal.

Marquez has more than proven his right to be in the ring with Manny.

maybe not at welterweight,

but why not meet at 140? it's not as if Manny is a big welter, if so, i would understand.


i am amazed at how Bob Arum is trying his best not to make this fight.

If Marquez was going to challege a dangerous young gunner it might as well be Timmothy Bradely and not Berto

[JayPro81]

Why would he fight any of those natural welterweights when they will outweigh him by at least 15 pounds when they get in the ring? How come all of a sudden Arum doesn't seem to know what a catchweight is when that's all Pacquiao fights at now?

Arum and Pacquiao once again ducking a live opponent.

Did you watch the Diaz rematch? Marquez's face looked like a wreck from a damn Diaz at 135. Malignaggi beat Diaz easier than Marquez did. What do you think Manny will do to Marquez at 147?

Faces don't score fights. If that was the case Pacquiao would have lost to Clottey.

[Blue Heffner]

honestly Marquez has no business above 135. People say Khan vs Marquez is a mismatch at 140, only to turn around and claim Marquez vs Pac at 140 will be competitive.

Neither fight is competitive. JMM was getting hit at will but Diaz in both fights. JMM has no business fight Khan or Pac.

full of **** Arum...

Pacquiao is not a legit WW himself (although he's kicking real WWs butts)

Marquez is linked forever to Pacquiao through their 2 great fights

Marquez shouldn't have to prove his worth at WW, because he has already arguably beaten Pacquiao twice, hence he deserves a third fight

these are just excuses not to put Marquez in the ring again with Pacquiao

Arum and Pacquiao once again ducking a live opponent.

I would say ducking is more when you accuse a fighter of PED accusations, then not bothering with working out a contract after the fighter is willing to meet another fighters demands...

Ducking is not giving another fighter a chance, Pac gave Marquez 2 chances.. Floyd has given Pac NONE..
