Comments Thread For: McGirt: Mayweather, Marquez - The True Greats of Our Era

[boxingfan76]

McGirt is only half right. Those two are great but not truly great.

Marquez got kd by katsidas and lost to chris john and lost 3 times to Pac.

Floyd ducked and dodged and retired and sucker punched his way to where he is now. He is however the ATG when it comes to ducking and dodging.

The truly greats of our era are both Klits, BHop and Pac. This is in no particular order but if I had to put them in order I would put the fighter of the decade first and yall all know who that is.

u like every othe ******* dont understand that a knockdown isnt the be all end all to a prize fight ,its only that way when the fight is stopped not when the guy re-cuperates and whips the other guys assz fokking the majority of 36 rounds dudes, the kds is allll pac has just face it. "I knockeed him down" yea but yall couldnt beat him the rest of the entire 3 fights, thats grand the detail daddys...... and please pac hasnt beat anybody to be called "great" at allll hes never legitmatley beat JMm and hes lgitamatley beat nobodys thats the whole truth.

The thing is that Floyd duckweather avoided most of the best fighters of his generation, back in the 70's, 80's and 90's he wouldn't be able to do that so he wouldnt be as overrated for having his "0" as his today because if he would have fought in those times he would have some losses on his record, but he still is the best fantasy fighter ever lol and the GOAT of ducking, mark my words he would never fight PAC or Martinez he is scared ****less of those two, I would also like to see him fight Lara and Kirkland but he probably won't fight them either, if he beats Cotto he is going to fight canelo next but if he losses he will rematch Cotto or if he gets knocked out then he wil blame it on the weight and be will give Guerrero a fight.

agree

i agree with mcgirt. both very talented!

Back in them days you needed defense because fighters was one hitter quitters. That's why Mayweather and Marquez was mentioned because them guys have technical skill. Pac got tagged up by Margarito. His style would have been a no go back in them days.

who has marquez beat apart from having close fights with pacquiao. styles make fights. marquez is only getting rated because of the pac fights which shows the greatness of pac.

Pac trolls are coming the pac trolls are coming...No PAC as fighter or Roach as trainer...they will be a trolling.

Buddy is a great trainer but I disagree.

I think Pacquiao is greater than JMM.

My point is in boxing, there is a "jeremy lin"effect towards Pac.

Most black fans, boxers, trainers seem to be butthurt that Manny is getting so much props and love.

Manny might be overrated by HBO and his fans, but putting him out of "the greats of his era" is ******ed.


There is a lot of jealousy towards Pac.

I disagree, there always was every style of fighters.

Pac isn't accepted by your community,end of.You won't admit for sure but it's pretty much obvious.(I'm not asian btw).

Don't try to justify a bitter statement from Buddy with some ***** mental gymnastics.

They fought two times in their very prime(Marquez and manny) and Marquez never managed to beat him.

Marquez struggled against Diaz and Katsidis, John, Norwood he has pac number, but IMO Pac had a greater career and is more dangerous fighter.

It seems to be hard for brothers to admit Pac is a great fighter.

Its unfortunate that its starting to be obvious, I didn't pay it no mind with Pac ( because I thought I was just being paranoid) but when I started hearing the **** talking bout Lin I was shocked.

Then again I'm not surprised. My peoples always gotta make SOMEBODY the boogie man before they look at dem selves.

Why do so many people just assume that a person's opinion and critisism of Manny is because of jealousy or hate?

That is just bull**** you don't know most black fans, boxers or trainers so you shouldn't even make a statement like that. Ethnicity and race play an imeasurable factor IMO in how people feel about Manny. IMO its just that people don't like to see another person get undeserved praise and accolades no matter the race. People talked down and criticized Roy Jones, PBF, Naseem Hamed, Ricky Hatton and countless others. 98+% of the time ethnicity, race, jealousy or hate have nothing to do with it. Do some athletes get mad hell yes they do but its usually not at the fighter its at the media and fickle fans. Barry Bonds wasn't mad at Mark McGuire his issue was with how fake the media was. I feel its the same in this situation the media has made more out of something than it really is and many people still believe what they see and hear on TV has to be true and not form their own educated opinion.
