Comments Thread For: Marquez: I've Accepted The Pacquiao Offer, 144-Pounds

i think ur doing a lot of hoping. jmm may have the timing but if ur reacting much slower than ur used to, i think its pointless. i think it will be. with that said i hope he hires a conditioning coach.

I agree with you. I think that pac has looked so good because these bigger dudes are used to being able to see whats coming. Pac has made a career out of blinding his opponents with quantity of punches speed and foot speed. I think this shocks guys more than one punch power and they don't know how to deal with it once you get past lightweight guys try to fight at a much lower rate and Manny has brought that featherweight pace with him. To me the Marquez that fought Manny the first time was a prime Marquez, he made the same mistake in that first round that everyone is making now, thinking they could match ability to throw every punch he throws with power. The big difference in this fight will be Marquez' size (he was prime at 126-130 while Pac is probably at his best at 135-140) and more importantly the steady decline in his reflexes.

His conditioning looked pretty good in the Kats fight.

Ugh in 50+ fights he's never shown poor conditioning ever so why exactly does he need a conditioning coach? People are weird!

A very fair point. And a much closer fight than most are imagining.

Marquez gives Pacquiao fits on any day of the week, at any weight.

Also, I tried to give you green k for an earlier post, but I've got to spread it around. I'll get you on the rebound.

agree,but the key is to box,sometimes marquez gets caught up and tries to slug it out,and thats not his style,he needs to box,box,box....if he does that he beats him,check out manny's opponents after the last time he faced maquez,all guys who moslty come and stand in front of you,no boxers

his conditioning in the mayweather fight was not good. i dunno what fight u saw, but he looked like ****. he needs a conditioning coach for this fight.

unless pac suddenly declines at an amazing race, this wll not be the case. jmm vs. floyd is the only time we have seen jmm above 140 and he was slow, much slower than floyd. pac is faster than floyd in just about every respect but reflexes. i see this fight being a one sided beating a la margarito. i have no interest in seeing pac beat up a punching bag. jmm's countering abilities will do **** for him at that weight.

Marquez can come below 140 or at any weight he was more comfortable. It's not like Pac is going to outweight him by 15 or more like the coward Floyd did. Most probably they weigh in about 1-2lbs more or less during fight night.

Exactly. Every single time he's been down is because he's been aggressive and left himself wide open. He wants the fans to be on his side, which is why he loves to do it. However this is serious business because this is his last chance, and I've said this all along if Marquez decides to JUST box with Pacquiao he'll win, and he'll win by a wide margin. However he's not that kind of guy, he ALWAYS wants to give his fans there moneys worth.

yes he can come in at below 140 and yes pac will weigh more than him. coming in below 140 will in now, way shape or form benefit him against a fighter already stronger or faster than he is,

Anybody hype about this fight is an idiot marquez couldnt beat beat regular manny so he definitely not gonna beat manny on roids u remember how many times he got droped b4 not just by pacman. This is a definite knock out 4 pacman. Right now i dont see anybody beating manny after shane. Only fight i think will be a challenge is martinez if pacman has the balls
