Comments Thread For: Juan Manuel Marquez-Erik Morales is Close For April 16

[onechance87]

I am a big JMM fan, but this fight is bullshit. And of course I like Morales a lot too, so it's just a matter of watching one of my faves get brutalized by another one of my faves.

I'm kind of mad at JMM for taking this fight in a lot of ways. But another way of looking at it, is he can always take a more meaningful fight in the future like Bernard Hopkins did after he fought Roy Jones (Which that right there was worse than what JMM is doing by fighting Morales now). And Hops gained a lot of my respect back after that fight with Pascal.

I honestly think the same scenario will play out in regards to JMM. I believe he'll move up to 140 and fight a top guy for a title. He'll do it, win or lose and he'll be trying to make history like Morales is trying to do now.

But what separates Pacquiao and Floyd from JMM and Hopkins is Floyd and Pac fight one outgunned opponent after another. So therefore, it's easier to stomach for me if guys like Hopkins and JMM fight a fight like this a time or two. Pac does it infinately.

marquez just fought his mandatory against tough contender katsidis.If he wants to make a money fight against morales,Its cool with me.Marquez
cant fight every up and coming fighter.

Lets go back to 2008 and lets see JMM run shall we?

2008- fights Manny Pacquiao.

Very next fight moves up in weight and fights the lineal champion in Casamayor.

In his very next fight, fights #1 contender Juan Diaz(FOTY).

In his very next fight, goes up 2 weight-classes and fights Floyd Mayweather.

In his very next fight goes back down to LW, to fight a rematch of a FOTY from the year prior.

In his very next fight, fights the #1 contender in Katsidis.

Does he not deserve one gimme, money fight?

It would be good to see Morales get one last payday but sadly, thats all it would be for him.

LOL, what do you mean? I was agreeing with you? Look at the run that JMM has been since 08. It is quite a run.

Almost every fighter he fought was a tough fight.
