Comments Thread For: Schaefer Talks Pacquiao-Marquez Matching, Canelo is Out

[UglyPug]

Stand down, Golden Boy. Marquez and Pacquiao have a long awaited, much anticipated date.

[JJRod]

I really like GBP, and think they are the best promotion out there, but I don't want them to match the offer here.
I been a Marquez fan since his days at 126, he has been one of Mexico's best for a long time and too long he lived under the shadow of other Mexican greats such as Morales and Barrera. It wasn't until the twilight of his career that he got recognition and he deserves to go out with a big Paycheck and a chance for revenge against his biggest rival Manny Pacquiao.

dude your joking right???" as usual pacman will try to do his best to give us a good show" bla blah blah??????? dude what reality do u live in??? pac will SAY he "fights for the fans and to put on a good show and make fans happy", but the truth is ,hes not going to fight whom w really want him to fight in this case SOMEONE IN THEIR CAREER OR PHYSICAL PRIME ON A WINNING STREAK AND WHOM PRESENTS REAL AND TRUE DANGER , no instead hes going to fight his umpteenth no-hoper in a row! and hell talk up his next bum then act like he actually acommplished something other than a money grab. if i were a pacfan id be tired of defending this guy , and embarrased.

what a hypocrite. couple of months ago he was bragging that his boy margarito will give manny a beating of a lifetime. it turn out to be the other way around. now he is saying that manny only fight bums. i guess your boy is a bum then.

Gbp and top rank are both match making jokes. Marquez - Canelo, now Pac - Marquez, once again Pac not challenging himself, yet Arum will sell us on it.

I agree...They refuse to put pacquiao in a challenging fight because of the amount of money he generates by facing lames....Marquez is a great lightweight...but he has been ducking Robert Guerrero for 2 years because he knows if he loses he wont get a pacquiao shot...Chris John controlled Marquez ....Marquez aint no 144lb fighter...this is a disgrace

[ATG Fighter]

How can they match this offer? They don't have any fighter for Marquez that will generate enough revenue to justify the $5 mill guarantee.

Pac taking on a third fight with Marquez and a style that has troubled him, and you fools can do is hate? Mayeather is retired, he's not fighting. Ortiz and Bradley are not better fights than Marquez, Pac will likely Hattonize both with their styles. Many people were calling for Pac-Marquez a few months back, it's an intriguiing matchup.

Challenging to what?! he took all challenges there is on the table. Him in the welterweight division when he should be in the lighterweight division is challenging enough. Don't tell me he should fight Martinez. As much as I want him to fight Sergio, it's asking way too much. He is done taking care of his challenges when he left the 130lbs. Don't be hatin'. I don't see your boxers making a name for themselves, unless you're talking about the Balls-less Floyd.

[Pullcounter]

They want to make Ortiz or Alvarez a star at the expense of JMM.

this is the truth right here

[shawn12]

I think Marquez is going to screw GBP.I read somewhere he has setup his own management and he was going to be a free agent.think it's something like Floyd does they represent themself. That why GBP is not in contact and JMM said he know he can't fight the what his name mr red head .

[LeadUppercut]

Reality where everyone lives in but you that's for sure. Don't give me this crappy bum stuff. Yeah Mosley was a big bummer, but that's just one fighter. How many elite has your fighter fought? prabably 1 and a bunch of bums.

Your a$$ is the embarassing one to even think this way about Pac. Don't hate the player, hate the game.
I wonder who you defending?

Stop talkin ****......

Manny Pacquiao's last 7 opponents.....

Lately, a number of observers have commented that all of Manny Pacquiao's recent opponents have either been old, faded, or inept. Let's take a closer look at 27%'s recent fights, and see if there is any truth to that allegation.....

Accusations leveled at Pacquiao include.....

* Manny will not fight a skilled boxer
* Manny will not fight a skilled counter-puncher
* Manny will not fight anybody who is in their prime
* Manny will not fight anybody who is on top of their game
* Manny will not fight anybody who is coming off a win
* Manny will not fight anybody without a distinct advantage

Let's apply that criteria to 27%'s last 7 opponents, and see how they stack up.

====================================

David Diaz - Not a top fighter, faded, disadvantaged.....
* Manny will not fight a skilled boxer
* Manny will not fight a skilled counter-puncher
* Manny will not fight anybody who is in their prime
* Manny will not fight anybody who is on top of their game
* Manny will not fight anybody without a distinct advantage

Oscar De La Hoya - Shot, drained, and shrink-wrapped.....
* Manny will not fight anybody who is in their prime
* Manny will not fight anybody who is on top of their game
* Manny will not fight anybody who is coming off a win
* Manny will not fight anybody without a distinct advantage

Ricky Hatton - Not a top fighter, faded, and disadvantaged.....
* Manny will not fight a skilled boxer
* Manny will not fight a skilled counter-puncher
* Manny will not fight anybody who is in their prime
* Manny will not fight anybody who is on top of their game
* Manny will not fight anybody who is coming off a win
* Manny will not fight anybody without a distinct advantage

Miguel Angel Cotto - Badly faded / shopworn, and disadvantaged.....
* Manny will not fight anybody who is in their prime
* Manny will not fight anybody who is on top of their game
* Manny will not fight anybody who is coming off a win
* Manny will not fight anybody without a distinct advantage

Joshua Clottey - Not a top fighter, and strangely innocuous.....
* Manny will not fight a skilled boxer
* Manny will not fight a skilled counter-puncher
* Manny will not fight anybody who is on top of their game
* Manny will not fight anybody who is coming off a win
* Manny will not fight anybody without a distinct advantage

Antonio Margarito - Not a top fighter, faded, disadvantaged.....
* Manny will not fight a skilled boxer
* Manny will not fight a skilled counter-puncher
* Manny will not fight anybody who is in their prime
* Manny will not fight anybody who is on top of their game
* Manny will not fight anybody who is coming off a win
* Manny will not fight anybody without a distinct advantage

Shane Mosley - Faded, shopworn, and disadvantaged.....
* Manny will not fight anybody who is in their prime
* Manny will not fight anybody who is on top of their game
* Manny will not fight anybody who is coming off a win
* Manny will not fight anybody without a distinct advantage

====================================

All-in-all, that is a damn shabby line-up for a supposed P4P fighter, especially when you consider all of the advantages afforded to 27% during those fights..... e.g. fighting for a vacant JMW title, at catch-weight, against a BUM, and using 8oz gloves

Now, I can understand a top fighter taking the odd bout against a lesser opponent.....
but EVERY opponent in your last 7 fights?

How fkn lame is that ?

The last time 27% fought a live dog was Marquez II, and according to a significant number of trainers/fighters/journalists/analysts..... HE LOST!!

SUMMARY: There is no question that 27% is a manufactured fighter, with a padded resume'..... quite simply, just more Top Rank smoke and mirrors.
