Do you know that JMM is lobbying for a third fight with Manny Pacquiao, who many people have as their P4P #1? With that said, how can you say that he is ducking Erik Morales?

Last night was special. I'm so glad that I ordered the PPV. I'll never forget the Morales/Maidana fight. Unbelievable.

he aint doing it for legacy,,,he is doing it for the money......

Morlaes knocks out Marquez, for those who think Marquez is greater or a better boxer, cmon.. Morales just showed us hes better, stronger and faster than Marquez and thats probably why Marquez didnt want to fight him first time around.

Of course he is doing it for the money but there is alot at stake for him legacy wise in regards to Manny. That 3rd fight is long over due. I still say JMM is a tough opponent for Pac style wise.

When/if that fight happens then come see me and we bet on it. Marquez ain't fight Morales because he wants some big paydays. Ducking and Juan Manuel Marquez name shouldn't be in the same sentence.

So then I guess that's why he turned down Khan to fight a gate keeper in Zab Judah for a fourth belt all the while Morales is fighting one of the best fighters in the division and Barrera is probably gonna fight Brandon Rios. JMM is really just like Pacquiao, but people don't want to admit it. And this is coming from a guy who actually likes JMM. Just don't like the fights he takes.

JMM fought the best fighters at 130, 135, chased Pac for a 3rd fight and even went up after Floyd. Why should he be scared of Kahn and Morales for? Marquez won his titles officially by KO at that. Can't s#!t on Marquez fam. Zab is a good fight for him and it gives him another title to add to his credentials and legacy. Pacquiao hasn't fought anyone worth noting other than name wise since Juan Manuel Marquez himself. And Pac barely if not even won that fight. Not cosigning that one buddy.

Fought the best at 135? Who has Katsidis, Casamayor, and Diaz beat here lately? Didn't Katsidis just lose to Guerrero last night? I'm not saying that JMM has fought nothing but chumps, but people act like he never turns down fights and that's far from the truth. I never said JMM was afraid of Morales, because he'd get bashed for taking that fight anyway.

But he obviously sees Judah as an easy mark if he turned down the Khan fight when the fight with Khan would probably be more money and the win would mean more because Judah isn't even ranked that high even though he's got a belt and a lot of people thought he lost to Lucas Matthyse.

And I pointed out the fact that Barrera fighting Brandon Rios and Morales fighting Maidana makes JMM look like a clown.

So are you saying that none of them guys were the top fighters at 135? Marquez beat Katsidis before Guerro did. Juan Diaz beat Michael Katsidis and JMM beat them both. He knocked out Casamayor before anyone did. Juan Manuel Marquez is a great fighter. Zab Judah is a good fight for him at 140 and if he wins there is another title to add to his already 3.

JMM gets shafted...

Exactly what I would say...Marquez is one of the best fighters in the game today and is making his mark as an all time great...Most of the last six fights he was in were almost foty material and he has overcome being an underdog in a couple of them. The main problem is Marquez does not get the praise that Morales or Barrera gets, and that's unfair IMO

If this fight happens in the near future, it would not be good for Marquez...It would be a lose-lose...
