Why doesn't Pacquiao want to fight Marquez?

[Mr. Philadel]

?????????????????????????

maybe its because Marquez has a winning streak and has looked dam good in recent fights....or they(Team Pac) might feel the same way as the MAJORITY of the boxing planet in the sense that JMM won the last fight and in BOTH fights have won more rounds

[AFighter4U]

And Pacquiao should've had a point taken away for hitting Marquez when he was down.

Right, or wrong?

Can't argue with you there.

Knocking down someone three times, then being lucky to get a draw is not exactly what I would call beating.

Certainly not a fight I would be talking loudly about.

LOL at who's the one that was lucky to get the draw.

[AFighter4U]

He lost ten straight rounds on my card, he was lucky to even get awarded a draw.

Still not a fight you should be talking loudly about

The fight could have gone either way. Even i could see that.

What i like about this fight is that Pac fought Marquez at his prime, at his IDEAL WEIGHT, and didn't CHEAT AT THE WEIGHT.

You don't EVER read about anyone complaining about Marquez being weight drained or shot when he fought Pac both times.

In a way, this fight could be shown as a great fight in the sense that two great fighters going at it with all they've got.

Alright, then it was a draw.

Scoring error, referee not deducting a point - it all washes even. And the fight was a draw.

because he would most definitely kill marquez in the ring at this point. bad for his political career.

One think i like about this fight is that Pac fought Marquez at his prime, at his IDEAL WEIGHT, and didn't CHEAT AT THE WEIGHT.

Like I said if you knock somebody down three times and find yourself in a close fight, what really happened in that fight.

That is not beating someone.

Tough to win a fight losing ten straight rounds~ or even get a draw~

[AFighter4U]

Tough to win a fight losing ten straight rounds~ or even get a draw~

Then one can view it as quite an accomplishment in Pac's case. He fought against someone in his prime, at his ideal weight, using a style which is known to be his weakness.

Based on what people are saying about him, he should have lost ten times over.

But he didn't.

Alright, then it was a draw.

Scoring error, referee not deducting a point - it all washes even. And the fight was a draw.

its good that you pointed that out to me. I did see pac hitting marquez when he was down and do remember being disappointed at Pac for doing it.

It just didn't register to me that he should have been deducted a point at that time for that.

so yeah, i guess it should be a draw then.
