Comments Thread For: Marquez Vows: I'm Ready To Die in The Pacquiao Fight!

[LeadUppercut]

my first and third favorite fighters! I think Marquez will put up a good fight, but Manny has too much precision firepower now. Both of these fighters would be willing to die in the ring I believe.

No fkn way.

How ridiculous.

* Only 1 of those fighters will jump two divisions and walk into a clear mismatch.

* When JMM goes up in weight to attempt to win a title, he will actually be prepared to fight an opponent from within that division, not a bum from the division below like Pac did at JMW.

* Marquez will take the tests

* Marquez does not manipulate advantages on the scales, he wins in the ring

* Marquez did not duck Mosley, Mayweather, Martinez, and Ortiz

* Marquez is not too scared to fight a Pacquiao rematch unless ALL of the advantages are manipulated to favor him

* Marquez does not feed exclusively on old men, faded champions, and bums

You cannot compare those two fighters, what a ridiculous comparision, they are as different as chalk and cheese.

Manny should have had enough fighting these disappointing Taco eaters and skip to the KFCfloyd chicken main course! At least Floyd does chicken right.

fighting with intelligence and going for the kill might not go together when fighting manny at WW. JMM is still the man, win or lose!

amen to that.............

the mexican warrior spirit coming up to the surface and showing the world how to do it..

no ifs, no buts, no non-sense approach to fighting

Juan Manuel Marquez (53-5-1, 38 KOs), 37, is prepared to go out on his shield in the trilogy bout with WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao on November 12th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Marquez doesn't want any kind of controversy in the fight, which takes place at the catch-weight of 144-pounds.

Regardless of the result, he will do what he does, and then run to the bank.

Pac ran from 130 until he could see that Marquez cant hang at welter.

How long did it take you to come up with that bull**** analysis? PAC has had the same work rate since the prior 2 fights with JMM that were both fought tooth and nail. Manny doesn't fight on the inside because he rarely stays on the inside. PAC VS JMM 1 Manny didn't use angles, only had a 1-2 down the middle and rarely used head movement or feints. I'm surprised that someone who supposedly is a fan of boxing can't see obvious improvements in a fighter. He's an in-and-out fighter that uses angles, feints and lateral movement to get inside. He start's his combinations on the way inside and turns/spins off his opponents and than he's on the outside again. Rinse and repeat, he is what he is. If you think JMM can keep PAC on the inside you're delusional. JMM's best chance was at the lower weights, he doesn't have the handspeed at the higher weights to keep PAC at bay. PAC is a clear favorite over an older, smaller fighter that doesn't have the handspeed or power to compete above 135.

Obviously it took me a shorter time to write it than it did for your brain to process it, you fcuking peasant.

Pacquiao has not improved as a boxer. His primary offense is the same 1-2 down the middle. Now, maybe he throws a left hook. Pacquiao is the same fighter he always has been: a guy who has a busy workrate, not a guy who can create openings and slip punchers to counter. He's rudimentary in approach, but with such a high punch output its effective because his opponent's who are looking for openings to attack are constantly bombarded with the same 1-2 down the middle over and over. Manny darts in and out, throwing the same combination. This is how Marquez outboxed him the last two times. There was no variety.

Now you can try to make Pacquiao seem like he does this and that better than he used to, but he doesn't. I know it. The commentators talk about it. In fact, in Manny's fight against Mosley they were all but making fun of the lack of diversity. In an interview, Jeff Mayweather had a group of people in the audience betting on how many times Pac would throw the 1-2 down the middle. Its predictable, and someone with Marquez' skills can and has exploited that fact before.

Time will tell, but keep in mind that everyone who has doubts that Marquez can win only feels that way because of his age and the weight division. Manny likes to wait **** out like he has with his last 6 opponents. He waited until Marquez aged 3 more years in hopes of his skills eroding.
