Speaking to the thousands who gathered for today’s presser, Marquez claims to not be thinking back to the bitter feeling of suffering defeat to Pacquiao three and a half years ago.
“Nothing is in the future,” said Marquez. “Nothing in the past. November 12th will only be the present.”
A fierce rival with Pacquiao inside of the ring, Marquez shows no ill feelings towards him outside of the ropes and has also been welcomed by the masses during his recent trek to the Philippines. Marquez would also add that Pacquiao truly fights with his heart while taking a jab at former foe Floyd Mayweather, claiming he doesn’t fight, but runs.
Mayweather defeated Marquez easily via unanimous decision two years ago after Marquez made the leap from lightweight to welterweight. Mayweather came in two pounds over the contracted 144-pound weight limit and it was obvious that Marquez wasn’t comfortable carrying the extra pounds.
The Pacquiao fight will also be contested at 144 pounds but Marquez is working on coming in stronger this time around and will be laying everything on the line, as is always the case with him.
“I don’t know what will happen [on] November 12th, but I will prepare and be ready for victory,” the three-division champion from Mexico City added.
The first two battles were both controversial and exciting, with each man claiming victory after each showdown, and Pacquiao admits that he is out to erase any questions as to who is the superior fighter.
“I want to wipe away any doubt on who has won. All questions will be answered,” stated Pacquiao.
Next stop for the tour is this Tuesday in New York City.
Yeah Mayweather runs alright,he runs through his opponents.Marquez is still mad that Floyd made him look like a fool.Marquez drinking his own piss may work for him when hes fighting other fighters but he had to learn the hard way that Floyd is on another level then those other fighters Marquez fought.Comment

If any of you actually watched the press conference, Marquez never called Mayweather a runner. He just said that Mayweather doesn't like fighting toe to toe and that many people will be excited come November 12th because Manny and himself will give the crowd a war.Comment
