Comments Thread For: “Fighting Words” – A Rivalry Without a Resolution

[Hi-Dro]

There was a clear resolution in the fight. Marquez clearly outboxed Pacquiao, and won, thus showing his supremacy in the course of three fights. However, something clearer than the resolution we witnessed was the revelation the outcome of the fight showed, which was disgusting, blatant corruption within the sport of boxing. We have all seen it throughout the years in fights, yet Saturday's blatant robbery showed the whole world the circus that has been rampant in boxing, since negotiations for Pac-May failed. The excuses, cherry picking, and give me fights have been exposed. It is clear that Mayweather and Pac are hoes who have been avoiding each other, while trying to rob the public with little risk fights in order to maximize there profits.

Marquez showed both how it's done. No OST, no b1tching, just hard work, huge balls, and belief in one's self. He moved up two divisions at the age of 38, and beat the 1 p4p fighter in the sport clearly. That to me is a clear resolution. Nevertheless, most people don't know **** about boxing...

5 reasons Floyd Mayweather might not fight Manny Pacquiao:

1. Floyd thinks Manny won all the Marquez fights.
2. Floyd thinks Pacquiao is playing possum with him.
3. Floyd thinks talking trash about Pacquiao was good enough.
4. Floyd thinks Pacquiao will son him.
5. Floyd thinks Pacquiao didn't call him out to fight on May 5th.

actually my friend, without the scoring error in the first fight, pac is 3-0 vs marquez.
funny how marquez fans believe marquez won 2 out of 3, even as far as all three.
but the majority of the best judges in boxing who scored the three fights saw different.
i myself had the first two fights 115-113, the third fight i had pac winning 116-112, and thats being generous being that pac outlanded total punches 9 rounds to 1 with two even rounds...and pac outlanded power punches 8 rounds to 4....as well as outlanded total punches by about 40 punches...not only did pac outlanded and threw more punches, pac was the aggressor all nite...MARQUEZ SUPERIOR? in the first two fights, if maquez didnt fumble the ball, he couldve won...in the last fight, if marquez tried to score instead of playing "prevent defense", then maybe he couldve won. but no rip offs here...pac won clear

No, Pacquiao lost this fight and no amount of compubox figures will change my mind. It was an absolute farce.

Do you really think it would have gathered all this attention if Pacquiao 'clearly' won? Answer honestly.

Also ask why Roach told Pacquiao he was in danger of losing and needed a KO.

Ask why Manny dropped his head at the final bell while Marquez raised his hands.

Ask why Arum immediately offered a rematch, to which Roach agreed 'I think we have to'

Ask why Amir Khan thinks Marquez won, and Pacquiao should consider retiring soon.

Ask why UK network Primetime who were screening the fight had former middleweight champ Steve Collins call the decision 'disgusting' and boxing writer Steve Bunce say he'd be 'shocked' if their wasn't an immediate inquiry into the scoring by the NSAC.

Ask why the crowd reacted the way it did. No, it wasn't because they were all Mexicans.

The amount of people who saw the fight and truly believe Marquez was robbed of an obvious victory, are far too great a majority for people like you to dismiss with patronising comments such as 'Pac won clearly, compubox said so'.

Come on, people, why would Pacman fight Floyd now? Arum and Roach both know Floyd would mop up the floor with Pac. I think Pac will fight Marquez, then the winner of Margo/Cotto, then the winner of Bradley/Khan, then retire with a hundred million in the bank. A fight with Floyd would only derail these plans.

Manny called out Floyd live in front of everybody. If it was so easy, Floyd should be happy to derail everything on the Pacquiao Express. Pacquiao can destroy Marquez's master and then duke it out with Marquez a fourth time.

Best Judges??

"The best judges in boxing"? You have to be kidding me. What makes them the best? Because the can write a "9" or "10" on a scorecard? The only reason they are hired time and time again is because they know what to do, and this is protect the favorate. These judges would never work again had they given the fight to JMM. The gave the fight to Pac to save the mega fight with Floyd.

I wonder when Mayweather will make his announcement of who he's fighting in May since it's not going to be Pacquiao.

[marvin douglas]

Floyd is available on the 5th of May, will Manny be there? Or will he fight Marquez instead. Anybody can call out somebody, but all Manny has to do is sign the contract. I can call out Manny, but does that mean he's running from me? Talk is cheap, sign the contract and then talk.

Are you aware you just discredited Mayweather way more than Pacquiao? Mayweather did most of the trash talking, yet nothing has been done to back it up when it comes to fighting Pacquiao.

[marvin douglas]

Well, Manny can't fight JMM on the 5th and Floyd too, can he? Or maybe he can. You Pac fans are just that delusional that you believe Manny can beat JMM and Floyd at the same time, don't you.

Listen, all Floyd had done is make the fight bigger. The fight is bigger today than it was two years ago. Floyd and Manny will be the most highly-anticipated bout in the last 10 years; that is, if Manny steps up and fights instead of fightings Marquez forever. I mean, if JMM wins the rematch, will there be another rematch and another...
