Comments Thread For: Arum: No Counter-Proposal Received From Marquez

...no wonder he wont take olimpic style testing.

The fact that you use a 3-post Alt to post this proves that you are ashamed and fearful of what you posted and a coward, you waste our time.

Fact is, MP is not an amateur required to follow its rules and was never an olympian. He is currently the best world professional boxer there is.

He follows the rules of professional boxing, not the rules of the opponent who takes advantage. Not your imaginary rules.

I just hope manny picks andre berto as his next opponent. I know mosley is the best option financialwise but i think a berto fight would be the riskier one and one that will get him most credit to his fighting legacy if he wins. because a win against mosley would just create an excuse of mosley was too old anyway and a win against the whiny crybaby marquez would just create an excuse that jmm was too heavy at welterweight and no less than crybaby marquez himself will be the first one to blame pacman to luring him to a disadvantageous weight and will do everything in his mouth power to discredit pac of a win and ask for a fourth fight this time at 142-144 catchweight... Marquez is a total waste of time for pacman... now if it was a win against andre berto the only minor excuse i have heard is andre berto is untested against elite fighters... BUT a zero loss is a zero loss whatever reason you put behind it...beating an undeafeated champion will still emerge the best credit pacman will receive in all the 3 choices he has... so i really hope pacman will put aside money just for this time as he already has a ton of it and pick berto as his next opponent... I assure you if pac vs berto happens there will be bombs immediately at the start of the bell and the fight will end at the 6th round at the most.

LOL..Sometimes when you pick on the Gimp, you are the one who winds up with a Limp. How funny would it be if Mosley stopped Manny. Regardless of the outcome, (Mosley does have a chance), I hate this fight with a passion. Manny should put his foot down. Arum can’t keep telling us that Berto does not bring money to the table. Manny did 700k buys vs Joshua Clottey. And he did a live gate of over 40k. Nobody in boxing could come close to that. Clottey has absolutely no fan base, he is a foreigner and his English is poor. I am not knocking Joshua at all, but those are facts. He is not a marketable fighter. Manny could easily do 1 million buys with Andre Berto or Juan Mnauel Marquez. If Arum needs an angle I will give him one. Manny is a congressman he is a humanitarian. Berto is of Haitian decent and he reached out big time after the earthquake. Berto also just highlight reeled a Mexican fighter on HBO in his last fight. He is also undefeated. Lastly he is linked heavily to the hip hop world, similar to Zab Judah and Floyd jr.

I don’t even need to get into Marquez, because he is the most deserving, I just personally want to see new blood on the big stage. Manny and his trainer should know better than to fight Mosley at this point. It gives those who have tried so hard to discredit Manny a free sucker punch. This will be the third fighter that Manny has fought after Floyd beat them. Now I know Manny fought Clottey, Miguel Cotto and Margarito and Floyd never did but it’s just not a good look. I can’t defend Manny on this fight. I do want to say one thing. Berto should take some blame for this. If he would have beat Shane’s butt, then that would have eliminated Shane as an option for Manny.

LMFAO... all of Arum's comments were nothing but BS, but the funniest part was Arum saying Floyd served the food. What a racist!

Maybe they should of asked him if he would give up Manny to bring back John, I think we know what that answer would be. Cold hearted SOB!

at this point who give a s h i t i.m.o. let mosley fight shane then if manny wins have him fight either andre or juan manuel marquez. also of course bob cares about the $$$$ but like i said let manny fight shane so bob can make his chedder then next andre or juan.

If cry baby wants it than it's all his. If he's not that desperate than he needs to shut-up.
