Comments Thread For: Marquez Admits: I Was Surprised Pacquiao Accepted

[DominiBox]

dude if pac wanted to fight him he could have fought him. Bradley said he accepted his terms. As far as contracts go, contracts were sent to JMM, Cotto & Bradley. Bradley & JMM accepted, Cotto did not and Pac chose JMM.

If pac decided not to fight bradley months ago that's totally irrelevant, as bradley was always an option. Doesn't matter if pac wanted JMM or Cotto instead. I have no idea what you're arguing against here.

Don't waste your time chief... There's no logic arguing with these guys!
Things have been clear. Some people understand just when it suits them.

You really think so, considering Marquez is up there in age and father time might finally catch up with him.

we all thought that last time and look at what happened. Im not betting against JMM

old marquez + mexicutioner = fight of the year

this fight is giving me goosebumps. i know marquez is an amazing boxer but i have to say pacquiao will come in to this fight without any excess baggage except the one thing that catapulted him into boxing royalty which is the true mexicutioner. marquez might be able get in a few eye catching straight rights, but that's not enough to ko the pacman. plus marquez is getting old which begs be to question his chin and conditioning. both fighters know losing this fight will force one of them into retirement which is much more significant for pacqiuao because of what it could do with his life outside the ring. pacqiuao chose this fight and not marquez, so he fully knows only a knock out will satisfy all his supporters. definitely the fight of the year if it ends with a knock out.

marquez needs to go for the KO... or atleast get a knockdown... no more close fights

Bradley seemed like the safe and logical choice. So while I'm not in favor of watching JMM vs Pac 19, it is the tougher challenge so I suppose pac deserves credit for taking the tougher fight out of the two even if people are tired of watching them fight. JMM has a seriously good chance at winning this fight whereas Bradley has about a 1%-5% chance.

Jack Britton and Ted "Kid" Lewis fought each other 20 times. So 4 or 5 are not too many if they're well matched to produce a good fight.

s for Marquez, geting a new "wrinkle" maybe he should practice standing on BOTH of Pacquiao's feet at the same time instead of just one-even though that gave him a great advantage in the last fight.

1rst fight

1 for marq, 1 for pa, 1 made a mistake of scoring the first rd..s/b a win for pac..

2nd fight

1 for jmm, 2 judge for pac knockdown was the winning shot if not it could have been a draw..jmm wobbled pac in the 2nd rd..pac wobbled jmm in rd 6 10 and the knockdown that was not called when jmm grab the ropes..

3rd..

all 3 judges don't have jmm winning the fight 2 for pac 1 was draw...

last 4 rd's he was just trying to stay away ...

i have a feeling that pacquiao will comepletely dominate marquez in this 4th fight. Manny will not underestimate him and he doesnt seem to have the "distractions" that freddie roach claimed he had. he thought it would be a easy because of how crappy he looked at that against mayweather. marquez showed him otherwise. now he will be more prepared and focused, which will make manny dangerous. if pacquiao wins i hope he does it real convincingly so thaat JMM can let it go. Either way this should be the last fight regardless.

[boxingfan4life]

And for Manny's chance of getting a decent split if he fights mayweather, he needs to win big. Because i doubt Floyd would agree to a 50/50 split to a guy in his last three fights that struggled twice against a fighter he schooled and loss to one that floyd would humiliate.

LOL @ the foot stomp thing. In any case I just don't get why the onus is always on Pac when these guys fight. Like it's always Pac's fault on this and that. Look on the other side, who has even made JMM look bad in the past 5 years or so? Yeah that's right, only 2 guys IIRC. And he's fighting one of 'em on Dec.

If Mayflower made a commitment to fight Paqcuiao next year this fight would not have materialized. Paq was supposedly looking for a big money fight before calling it a day.
