If Marquez retires will Pacfans accuse him of ducking Manny?

[Ferrarijones]

Marquez is 39 and has been in many battles. He deserves to hang them up with dignity and go out on top. They'll try to spin it as a duck but the man is 39 and has already fought Pac 4 times. Plus i thought the past fight was to settle the score once and for all. Pac gets KO'd and they want another fight? It's redundant. If Pac wins then it'll negate this most recent win and we'll be back where we started. Even the NBA Playoffs have to end at some point. You can't keep fighting every time someone loses. Just concede the better man won and move on.

Marquez should have a farewell fight against a good opponent (Bradley) in Mexico and call it a day. Pac fans just have to move on and admit their guy lost fair and square. Lucky punch? Intentional punch? Doesn't matter. He lost. It's over. Move on.

I wish people would drop this "Manny gave Marquez 3 rematches" crap. Those matches weren't motivated by pure kindess on Manny and Top Rank's part.

Refresh my memory, but didn't the first fight happen because Marquez gave Manny a shot at his featherweight title? I'll leave someone to clarify that. But the last match was NOT Top Rank's first choice. A rematch with Bradley wouldn't make the money and Cotto refused another catchweight match (he told them to do one). That left them with Marquez. Roach made it known that they wanted a match to make Pcquaio look good before trying to negociate a Mayweather match (as his last two performances weren't convincing enough to give them leverage). They got half their wish. Pacquiao looked better, but knocked him out. This match was billed as them one to end all arguments. The nature of their previous matches, all close, all controversial results was what gave Pacquiao the desire to end it without doubt. He did, on his face.

Marquez earned those rematches by virtue of his previous performances and leaving doubt in the minds of boxing fans as to who was the better man. There was no doubt after this match and Marquez has nothing to prove. If he wants to fight again, fine. But he isn't obligated to do so, especially not by some fans that are bitter about the outcome.

PS. I have no respect for people calling those who step between the ropes for a living, "coward", from the safety of their keyboard.

Marquez has a more Boxing Talent than Pacquiao is clearly after 42Rounds

Marquez Take The Risk in 4th Fight

No Reason for a 5th Fight... The Result is Same.. Marquez by KO

After the KO Punch Pacquiao will never be the same after Pacquiao's Waterloo

If Manny Fights again he exposes his health he will be destroy by KO but no by Class A Fighter as a Marquez... now for a Boxer Class B as a Rios, Matthysse, etc

i have no problem with jmm retiring. if he decides to fight on, i would like to see him fight someone besides pacquiao. i think bradley, matthysse, and rios are all intriguing/entertaining fights. and those are just the fights i'm most interested in. there's always garcia, khan, broner (there isn't much at 135 for him outside of burns and vazquez, he'll probably move up sooner than later), alexander, guerrero etc.

but overall, i have no issues with both jmm and pacquiao retiring. they've had great careers and i don't really wanna see either of them take the jones jr/mosley route

I want to see a fifth fight obviously, but if I were in JMM's shoes, and knew I would never need the money, I would retire right away.

He's 39, has had a tough career and too few boxers are fortunate enough to retire on a high note. JMM has the opportunity to retire after his biggest win of his career, I would definitely not blame him for doing so.
