some peoples children

theres a saying in poker, if you dont spot a sucker at the table your probably the sucker. you guys know who you are and if you dont know your probably one of these suckers. theres a lot of suckers on this site that dont know **** about boxing and arent boxing fans. they are just fans of a certain fighter and have totally biased opinions. everybody is entitled to their own opinion but show respect for great champions that have done great things for this dying sport. most of my friends are mma fans except for my friends that fougt in the amatures and i love watching boxing with them because they have provided a lot of insight about this sport that i love so much because of the fact that they used to lace up the gloves. marquez is old but still a good fighter and shouldnt be a sacrificial lamb for bigger, younger, stronger up and comers. pacquiao is a great figher and has done more for this sport than anyone of recent time and i praise him for that because we need more people to come back to boxing and attract new fans to this sport. but if all the new fans or going to be morons blinded by biases, then they can go **** themselves and go watch mma we dont need you in this sport.

Dont try to reason with Marquez, he thinks drinking his own piss is cool. He probably eats his own **** too.

you really want to go there? I think Pacquiao is alot more closer to eating ****, they dont even use toilet paper in the Philippines, they use their hands.

Earlier this year, Golden Boy Promotions was trying to match Juan Manuel Marquez in a fight with WBA 140-pound champion Amir Khan. Golden Boy wanted Marquez as the opponent for Khan's American/HBO debut in May. After some initial discussions, Marquez turned the fight down. He was later replaced by former champion Paul Malignaggi, who Khan stopped in eleven rounds.

then why didn't jmm just come out and say that in the beginning?

why fight diaz in a rematch at all? why not just fight katsidis then move right to khan?

The crybaby is scared. He ducked Khan twice.

Marquez is a lightweight. He's a small jr welter & if he moves up Khan makes the least sense for him. Golden boy should try to get a fight with Bradley because Khan is a tall big light welter. This fight makes no sense for Marquez.

the truth is: marquez is scared. he has got no balls...

That is just a ****** thing to say.

I respect JMM. If I was him I would not come near Amir at 140. If he wants a 140 belt he should fight Alexander or go for the IBF. Amir and Timmeh are for JMM.

I agree. Reaching for greatness is one thing, but I don't wanna see JMM badly overmatched.

i understand why you shrimp d!cks hate mayweather but ill never understand your hatred for marquez.

I don't get it at all. That is fkn bizarre.

He is all that is good in boxing, a living legend.

Ar first I thought it was just Manny fans and anti-Mexican's, for obvious reasons, and it may well be..... but there are some folks who just don't like him.

No, Marquez is a career featherweight who is already punching way above his weight. A title at 140 is reaching for greatness, it should not be easy, it should not be "fair".

Don't take that the wrong way, Marquez is my boy, and I do not want to see him badly overmatched..... but at least he is willing to go up and fight the best.

In fact..... WTF?

At least Marquez is willing to go up a division and fight somebody who actually belongs in that division..... which is a ****load more than Manny just did.

Actually, if there are any Manny-fan's here who want to have a crack at Marquez, please tell me know, I have some questions for you regarding these latest developments.
