The Official "I appologize for selling an ATG/HOF fighter short" thread.

[Phil Ivey]

This wasn't a question of Marquez' greatness, it was a question of Pac as a fighter and his progress and development. At the end of the day Pac fell short and that says a lot about his previous opponents, if Pac adjusted like JMM adjusted he would've came out with a much more decisive win - it just happens that he's gifted with power and speed. Watching the fight I thought JMM was substantially slower than Pac.

And 99% of people after the May-JMM wrote JMm off as a contender @ above 140, but conveniently jumped on the bandwagon when JMM-Pac was signed. Which is funny because I bet most weren't sincere about JMM's ability to put on a close fight like tonight.

yeah....cept when he does ****** **** that i do not care for.......these guys have no shame at all......even Bombs said he thought JMM won......

oh yeah, let us make bombs decide who win fights from now on and ignore the stats....lol

[damned1974]

Come in, guys. Admit that JMM is a beast!





Except when he fights Floyd...

LMAO! I agree...

I admit that I thought this fight would be a mismatch...it just so happened that Juan Manuel Marquez made it a mismatch for Manny!

*******s were saying that Marquez was an old bloated fat lightweight for Floyd,but Manny struggled and got a cheap gift against JMM (who was probably heavier on fight night than against Floyd)-yet they believe Floyd is the one ducking-lmao!

If Pac fans thought it was going to be competitive with (in their words,a fat old piss-drinker) JMM,then even they must realize that Pac is overhyped! lmfao

BTW-Floyd didn't lose a single second against Marquez.....ouch.

[Champ Is Here]

Didn't incarnation say this **** yesterday?

I said it then and say it again, that's really irrelevant at the moment

[dofseo]

I don't like to apologize for this.

[Kagami Taiga]

i apologize for thinking manny was better than he is. i was wrong. my fault. manny u proved me wrong. u have not changed much since the last jmm fight. in fact, uve gotten worse.

[jkaisen41]

Man up time.

I think everyone needs to apologize for disrespecting a legend in Marquez by selling him short against Pacquiao.

I see a lot of debate as to who won etc. but what I don't see is posters stating how off they were via all the 1st round and under 8th round KO predictions.

I honestly predicted a 5 round beat down but after last Saturday I realize that these guys are made for each other and will always produce close fights.

I gained a new level of respect for Marquez Saturday night, and I admit I was severly off in my prediction.

I give him all the credit in the world - I just thought that it would be good for a few rounds but I was expecting that Pacquiao actually lands some shots on him and that it would be too much around the 8th round (cuts and stuff) and that the ref would stop it... but boy did I was wrong - it was the easiest fight of the 3 for him - he wasn't even bleeding - he masterfully controlled the pace and distance - everything that happened because of Marquez doing or because he wanted to trade (and in most case had the last punch that backed Pacquiao off) landed the cleaner and harder punches - make Pacquiao quit in the process from round 9 on... and totally schooled him with simply basic boxing...

All credit in the world to Marquez... even though I always wanted to see May-Pac and a defeat of Pacquiao would have taken a lot away - even though he got the decision everybody knows he lost... I just feel sorry for Marquez...

You can have the first how you want and the second fight how you want - but the third fight was crystal clear - my utmost Respect to Marquez - he made Pacquiao look like an amateur

[ATG Fighter]

I don't think you have to put ATG/HOF anymore. Imo he is an ATG now. There shouldn't be any doubt about it now..........

[JCrash]

Juan Manuel "Dinamita" marquez I'm sorry for not believing in you, Your truly one of Mexico's greatest and one of Boxing's numero uno warriors.

VIVA MEXICO!

oh yeah, let us make bombs decide who win fights from now on and ignore the stats....lol

Didn't Marquez beat Pac on stats on their second fight?
