Comments Thread For: Arum: Marquez Will Fight Gesta, Rios or Alvarado Next

[throbk1974]

If they are looking for a 4th fight with Pac, it will be Gesta. He's the only southpaw out of the 3 opponents mentioned.

It really doesn't matter JMM would school Rios Gesta and Alvarado

Gesta didn't look.THAT good. I'd prefer alvarado

it'll probably be gesta...marquez wants a southpaw next to prepare him for a 4th fight with pac.

Let's not get carried away with the general consensus on these forums. You mean to tell me the kid doesn't have a mean hook to the body and a good uppercut? He does good body work if you ask me. If I heard correctly he didn't start boxing till he was 20 so why not give the guy a break and watch him as he progresses then judge him. Like many young boxers, such as Canelo, the offense is there but the D needs polishing. Seems to be a trend among the young ones.

Now as far as the topic goes, since when does Arum call the shots for JMM? I thought he was with Zanfer? As for opponents, Alvarado is the most deserving one but I hope Rios gets it so he can get his ass handed to him AGAIN. Like I said, Gesta is not ready. I know everyone wants a title shot but he's not ready.

I think Alvarez can do go further than Gesta. I don't even think his offense is that great, and it's not like he's got solid or very good power. I just can't imagine him winning a title over a good fighter.

I didn't say it was great but he got something to work with. And of course you would expect someone who's been boxing longer to do or go further. He's got more experience and being promoted better. I don't see Gesta winning any titles as of right now but we'll see down the line once he progresses and gets the experience. But if he doesn't make progress and stays the same then we should have the right to bash him.

are people okay with gesta being picked? he's not even a contender at LW let alone Jr WW this will be 2 tune up fights back to back for JMM.....Alvarado or Rios better get this

[juandabomb]

gesta is another boom boom bautista and bernabe concepcion..he sucks..rios should fight alvarado

[Thickback]

More Arum BS....JMM is a HOF boxer and he fighting who?????? How about Maidana or Rios or Judah or Morales even???? Boxers we know. JMM is a ****** for basing his career on fighting Manny again just to get shafted AGAIN!!!! I don't wanna see JMM/Manny IV. I don't wanna see him in another tune up either. Boxing is aggravating as fudge some times.

Also WHY the hell are people saying JMM should fight a southpaw? he already knows Pac and fighting Gesta Will NOT help him prepare at all since he is a bum
