Comments Thread For: Richardson: Marquez Might Be Better Than Pacquiao

[Mr. Philadel]

Pac stans will hate Richardson and they can finally unite with the Floyd stans now that they have a common ground. Good work Naz, you're bringing them together.

....my EXACT thoughts...green Rip!!!

Naazim is a good strategist. He figured a way to hit Floyd hard, and he knew Manny doesn't throw punches when turned.

who? i dont think he had anything to do with that.. that was all mosley.. dumb*ss.. If he had that strategy then he shoulda also had a strategy to finish the works of the hard punch. u mean shane Knew that pacq couldnt
hit him well, when in treat and cover mode.. Nazzim strategy for both fights against mayw and pac, were to use his size and strength and hand speed and bully both fighters.. He didnt have a strategy for mayw standing toe to toe with Mosely. Nor did he have one for Pacq knocking shane down.
Nazzim is a great trainer.... i have lots of respect for him.. Hed be one of the trainers on my PROBOWL team. without a doubt

that's ridiculous -- the only realistic chance that Marquez has is if Manny comes in undertrained and unfocused -- Marquez's only glimmer of hope is that Manny did show some signs of skills erosion in his last fight

SekondzOut, what up man!! You wanna increase that Dawson vs Hopkins bet to 100 mil?

he was hyping the fight. Marquez has ZERO chance of beating Pac. a prime Marquez back in 2004 couldnt even beat a green one dimensional Pac. and NO, Marquez is not better than Pac.

I would agree that JMM is a smarter boxer than Pacquiao, which is probably what Richardson meant. Mayweather-JMM would've been a close competitive fight if they weren't two divisions apart.

JMM is a freaking beast..........at jlw and lw. Anything higher than that and he is only at about 60% no matter what training he does. Marquez is NOT THE SAME GUY AT ANY WEIGHT ABOVE 135

[PD21]

I do think Marquez has Mannys number tactically but the physical advantages that Manny has at welter outweigh that.

Marquez just edges Pac in tactical awareness and I think he sneaked both fights but this 3rd fight at welter is a different story. Pac has every advantage going. We know he can fight at welter and we know that Marquez doesnt carry the extra weight effectively.

Marquez' reflexes have also slowed and that is what allowed him to get through the first two fights when he was hurt. He was able to time Pac but in his advanced age and slowed reactions I see Pac hitting him hard and often. Wouldnt be surprised to see a cuts stoppage because Marquez wont give up but he will be taking a beating. Hope Im wrong.

Richardson is a *****.

JMM north of 140, is not in the same league as floyd and Manny.
