Comments Thread For: Erik Morales: I Would Like To Fight Juan Manuel Marquez

[GRUSTLER]

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...

Juan Manuel Marquez is from the ol school. He is a true champ and tough fighter. I hold him in higher regards. Judah is a good fight for him though. Not mad at that one at all. Morales is a good fighter but Maidana basically has no technical skill level. JMM is a like a technician. I was watching some of his fights again on youtube and he is indeed a solid fighter. He's rarely not in an action packed fight.

morales is better than marquez, maidana would k.o marquez.

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.

Your girlfriend Crybaby Marquez ducked Pacman and faced Chris John for a measly 30K. He lost and ended up crying back to Mexico.

He ducked Morales and made an excuse of looking for better opportunities to fight. Morales ended up giving Maidana a tough fight few expected.

He ducked Khan. He will forever avoid him. It's a high risk with a low reward fight. I'll bet all your cash and points this fight will never happen!

[DocG]

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 will duck Khan!

Not at all. Youre way off. Maidana is a pure slugger no angles no fluidity to his combinations 0 defense. I could see JMm stopping Maidana. If Morales could hurt him with one or two shots Jmm would strife him with him 5 or 6. And Maidana is a dirty m fer by the way. I am glad to see that the Mexican legends are proving there greatness even past there prime above there prime weights couldn't be more proud.

I agree

You're on point with this post...Like I was leading into my last post, he should be one of the most popular fighters in the sport right now...I haven't seen him in a bad fight other than the second fight with Diaz (he was just too good for the Baby Bull). If he does fight Judah, then I may go see that one. Two fighters that are among my favorites, and now Sweet Pea is training Zab? Shoot I am THERE

wrong...maidana is more effective pressure fighter than katsidis, better skilled, more powerful, bigger , better chinned...katsidis troubled jmm quite a lot....add to that the fact that jmm cant handle fighting above 135 effectively and you have marcos destroying jmm at 140...

[RIZO24]

Morales would get handled by JMM fairly easily IMO. Morales looked okay against Maidana last night but it was obvious he does not have much left. He could not get off fast enough like he used to do. Yeah JMM has also lost a step but not to the extent that Morales has. Morales can not pull the trigger fast enough anymore and JMM still has it.

[vicmatic1]

i counted him out against chino but i really think jmm destroys him but props to erik for a surprisingly good performance
