Comments Thread For: Marquez: I Need To Be at My Best Ever To Beat Pacquiao

[AFighter4U]

personally, i think pac can say it a day already unless Floyd will pick up that phone and rings who ever he thinks can make him that $ that he wants, DK maybe. but other than Floyd, i think pac should retire already... but still can live with a Pac - martinez, ortiz or bradley...

ditto on your list. i'd want to see pac fight them as well.

This fight is not as marketable as people think. Not only that, but ummm weren't the Pac fans complaining Marquez was way to small for Floyd?? Did i miss something?

yes you did dummy!! jmm vs floyd difference was around 15-17lbs unlike jmm pac will be 4-6lbs..where are you?

just don't understand those people that said Pac is much bigger than JMM at 145 yet Floyd @146 beating a 144 JMM makes Floyd a great fighter... a true boxing fan indeed...

Things that bothers me when people saying Pac is fighting an old & washed out boxers. The truth was, nothing in the front of Pacquiao except those people. There is one a bit older but scared to face Packy.
So, people can only say...he takes steroids - it's a myth! When you have nothing else to say, you will invent.

Some of those old people you talk of actually wanted pac when they were younger. Mosley had to wait 2 years for pac to agree to fight him. Marquez has been waiting over 3 years for the 3rd fight. As for that's the only fighters available, that is complete bulls**t. How about fighting someone on a winning streak? There are plenty of them.

more marketable than the big established names he fought in the past years? i dont think so. it's all about marketability bro. boxing is show business.any fight other than floyd is a senseless fight for a boxing fan. this is all for the retirement fund. pac marquez3 would be entertaining but we all know jmm would get murdered right??? i aint paying **** for this ppv. hope a good fight comes up for the fans.

The bottom line is this... Take JMM and Pacs 2 contraversial fights...JMM definitely deserves the opportunity to fight MP..Now, if we look at the same two fights plus the FM fight, not only did FM weigh in at 156 or more (not official, due to not wanting to get weighed the night of), but JMM has been the only fighter to actually have found his way into FM defensive style; however not effective because of the lack of power against a person that walks around at 160, but also has been the only fighter to have come close to beating MP. So the point is that MP cannot do anything to FM that JMM could not do, unless of course, he outboxes FM, hardly unrealistic. MP has great skills, but with his social status and obligation to the fans and boxing world, why not shut everyone up and take the blood test to prove to everyone not just FM that hes clean and its all raw talent.. I mean its only a small tube, olympians are subject to such testing, not to mention that he has tattoos, so whats the big deal?? They both would have to do it anyway. JMM will win by decision, and being that the rematch clause is in the contract, MP will come back and problaby win by decision. Its almost like all sports are pre-meditated now and days. I hardly doubt MP will ever face FM, not in this life time..

the truth is as long as the floyd fight isnt signed.. pac will fight the most marketable guy out there. the guy could be a heavy weight champ and pac can take his belt to be the first guy to win the nth number of titles in the nth number of weight classes. or top rank can make up some stories of how cotto is screwing around with pac's wife and make pac-cotto2 possible. it's all about selling the story. NO one other than floyd can come close to pac right now. all other fights are BS. cant blame bob arum, pac, and the other boxers for trying to earn a living though. in the end it's all about the money baby!

[jobz199]

the only reason pac struggled with marquez is with the style.. styles make fights. everyone's tired of hearing this. hehe. but the truth is pacquiao is the better athlete, younger, stronger, faster. right now he is also much smarter and better equiped with handling the technical counter punching marquez. i just dont see anyone putting any money on jmm dude specially if this fight is gonna be fought 144-147.

He beat Manny twice, but this time he's facing a EPO, HGH, and Steroid guzzling Welter-Weight. Marquez needs to be at his finest, technically.

Cosign........

Come on dude he landed 69 punches, out of 583, during 12 rounds.....that's nearly 6 a round and less than 2 a minute. How is that finding his way through his defensive style? You're intitled to your own opinion but if you think Pac would land as few as that or only slightly more you're crazy imo.
