Comments Thread For: Marquez: I See No Point in Fighting Manny Pacquiao Again

[hitking]

You know what's funny? Floyd does not have that kind of confidence that his beloved fans have. LMAO!!!

Ironically, the lack of confidence Floyd's critics love to harp on instantly disappears the second one of those he fears leaves Arum's mitts.

That's weird. Cuz last time i checked, negotiations took place for the Pacquiao fight, with Pacquiao being with TR's promotion. All we got was excuses.

40MM no PPV.
No 50-50
No 55-45

And besides Cotto, who left TR and fought Mayweather, Can you name some other fighter who left TR to fight Mayweather?

[hitking]

What about Pacquiao?

Morales (x3)
Barrera (x2)
Marquez (x4)
Mosley
De la Hoya
Hatton
Cotto
Margarito

LOL!!! Floyd beat 5 of the 8 on your list. And beat all except Cotto before Pac did (I know Pac fought JMM before Floyd, but Floyd beat the welterweight version first.) As for Morales, Barrera, and Margarito. I'd say Hernandez, Chico, and Castillo stand up very well against those three. And oh yeah, Floyd lost to none of the above, while two on your list beat Pac.

You forgot Pac has a cut that won't heal, we need to build a temporary stadium, etc, etc, etc.

Yeah...Floyd fought the michelin welterweight version of Marquez. And hey, Castillo beat Mayweather in the first bout. But there was NO way he would get a decision.

Hard core JMM fans and Pac haters are saying no need for a 5th fight. LOL, guess their enjoying the JMM glory.

And here comes the flames.........3.........2........1............... .

Well, do you honestly believe that if Pac had knocked Marquez out in 6 rounds, that there would be anyone, anyone at all, Marquez fans, Pac fans, boxing fans, clamouring for another fight?

Of course not. They'd all be saying "Pac finally won decisively so there's no point". There wouldn't be the slightest mention of it. So you really think that the people saying there's no need for it are daft?

Marquez wins decisively though.... the only thing that matters is "Pac won some more rounds and Marquez was bloody! So what if he got KTFO brutally? He won two rounds more than Marquez and that means there must be another fight because Pac was going to win!"

If Pac had knocked Marquez out that bad, everything before would be forgotten. It wouldn't have mattered about any close fights before, it wouldn't matter about Pac getting knocked down, hurt or having lost any rounds. The only thing anyone would be saying, especially the Pac fans, is that Marquez got knocked out and that's that. Finality for once. Marquez would just become a little weird footnote in Pac's career.

As it stands, the opposite happens, and Marquez wins....It's a fluke. It's roids. Pac tripped. He was reckless. Marquez was losing. Pac was going to win. Pac was distracted again. Roach didn't train him properly. Marquez was about to get knocked out.

Come on guys. Recognise it for what it is. Pac lost badly after 4 chances, and 42 rounds to win. If he'd won, there would be no 10 page threads and Marquez wouldn't even be mentioned anymore.

Yeah..... that's the reason Mayweather asked for 100% of ppv revenue.
First, OST. Then, no 50-50. Here's the opinion of a big Floyd fan...enjoy:

So Floyd fights a 36 year old version of JMM that was a bum that at 39 became a monster. ******* logic is amazing to me.

As for Castillo beating Floyd in the first fight, that's open for debate, just like the first three JMM-Pac fights.

As for the Cotto question, all the guys Floyd "ducked" were Arum guys. The second Cotto leaves, he fights him. Which begs the question. If Pac really wanted a Mayweather fight, why sign a long ass extension with Arum?

ROTFLMAO!!!!!! You go First Take to prove your point. If you wanna reference a half way respectable anti-Floyd, at least go Dan Rafael or Doug Fischer.

1 - Are you saying Marquez was in better condition when he fought Mayweather than when he fought Pacquiao? Wow..

2 - When a Floyd's fan says "That's open for debate"...well, that's all i need to know.

3 - Is Pacquiao supposed to make his business and personal decisions based on what Mayweather want or don't want. I think you're leaving Floyd's ego play with your mind. Everyone knows there was nothing wrong. TR wasn't asking for a bigger piece. I agree Arum is a scumbag, but it was a fair offer.
