Comments Thread For: Pacquiao-Marquez: Three Fights Later, Still No Closure

[vacon04]

The same guy who chose McCloskey over avenging a Prescott loss?

The same guy who saw Pacquiao train for over 2 months and who said before this fight that he thought that Pac would KO Marquez ... yep, that same guy

It is very clear that Juan Manuel Marquez fought Manny Pacquiao just for the money and not to challenge the champion for the crown. When a challenger fights , he will come in to the fight showing aggressiveness and not to content himself fighting defensively. A defensive fighter will only provide a boring fight to the paying public. Even with a poor performance of Juan Manuel Marquez, people admired him because he fought the great Manny Pacquiao. Even in his retirement JMM will have no regrets because he can face anybody and tell them eye to eye that he fought the best. This Pacquiao/Marquez fight will just add more embarrassment to chicken Floyd. People will just remember chicken Floyd as the boxer who always run away from good fights...he will duck a fighter if he thinks he is a threat and if he fights he will cheat.

Freaking Amir Khan scored it for Marquez.

I scored it for JMM as well. Didn't you?

He's a counter puncher, against Pacquiao you just can't go forward like and idi0t (just remember Margarito) but you have to be very careful and fight a fight without mistakes ... Marquez countered Pac all night long ...

*******s, this was a 38 year old light weight that was badly hurt at 135 by Juan Diaz and Michael Katsidis. Why could he do what bigger dudes couldn't??? Because the bigger guys are used to walking people down and imposing there will. Pac is great but he is not an atg. Two great fighters fought tonight only one past his prime because Pac look every bit as fast and strong if not faster on his feet as ever. What a coincidence that he cramps up every time someone offers good lateral movement and makes him miss. i thought JMM won a close fight but I'm not outraged by the decision. Im more disgusted by the excuses from Pac fans. Face it you've been fed a load of crap, he's great but not atg.

actually that icky bubble your saying bro only one other fighter can burst that and that is Floyd...

and I agree with the article, 36 rounds and their is still no closure, I would not mind seeing PAC-JMM 4 next year after PAC-PBF in May...

Actually no, that bubble has already been burst by Marquez, and Bob Arum. Arum, by matching Pacquiao against fighters coming off of losses, and Marquez for obvious reasons.

Little movement? These guys were doing high level feints all the way through.

I thought both fighters were somewhat tentative throughout the fight compared to their previous two, but hey, that's just my take.

I agree, Marquez shouldn't fight Pac again, to win against him he would have to KO Pac, there's no other way he's going to get the decision.

About the feints, I do think Marquez was doing some incredible but hard to see feints. He got Pacquiao with some good hooks, and that's because he made some subtle feints that tricked Manny and made him open up.

The same guy who got knocked out in 1 round by Prescott? I thought so.

[Dave Rado]

No closure and just made things even worse. Ariza and Roach will take it as a proud W though..

Roach knows Marquez won.
