[viperz007]

I'd rather see Alvarado get the Pac fight than Rios, just me though.

im not sure if arum wants to ruin alvarados marketable look after beating rios

if pac beats the ***** out of alvarado that will ruin arums new replacement for rios

[viperz007]

Marquez still crying about losing three tight decisions that could have gone either way. Pathetic. It's like he convinced himself they weren't close fights and he won them all clearly. I had him winning the third, but Manny won one and two, and if one judge hadn't been so inept at counting the first fight would have been declared a Pacquiao victory.

Juan Manuel Marquez (55-6-1, 40KOs) plans to decide his future on April 15th and right now WBO welterweight champion Timothy Bradley (30-0, 12KOs) is the main target on his list - even above a financially lucrative fifth fight with Manny Pacquiao. Marquez has already stated, several times, that he doesn't have any interest in a fifth fight with his Filipino rival. He wants to get the opportunity to capture world championship in a fifth weight division.

"[Fighting Bradley] weighs more to me because he's a great fighter, he is the champion, so logically as a fighter you always want to fight the best and Bradley is the champion and you want the championship. If I decide to continue, Bradley would be a great opponent," Marquez said.

"I do not care about a fifth fight [with Pacquiao], after what happened in the first three fights where there were controversial decisions, controversial where we had actually won and in this fourth fight we had a great victory and I would be very satisfied to let the memory of that remain, and to keep that feeling in place for myself, and also, for the Mexicans. We must go forward, pursue new goals, new directions. And for me to have had four fights with someone they had rated as the best pound for pound - and I made it clear that he is not the best pound for pound - searching for new challenges is important."

I don't think I could imagine Marquez acting more of a ***** in his life. Everyone knows Bradley lost to Pacquaio, and Bradley isn't even as good as people make him out to be. It looks to be that he's set on becoming a paper champ while not wanting to take the risk of having a re-match with Pac which could possibly ruin his *memory* of how he was being beat up and then landed his KO shot, all of which he seems to ignore.

I imagine Bradley - Pac 2 will be made now, with Pac winning and Marquez being forced into a 5th fight. Either that or hes fishing for more cash, since by himself he's not even close to floyd or pac as a ppv star.

The worst of all is he acts like the fights were not extremely close, and that he won all three. It reminds me of a kid who cries when things don't go his own way - this being the same guy who left the arena when he wasn't declared the winner - acting like it was some huge robbery on the scale of Pac Bradley. Not even Pacquaio did that and he WAS robbed horribly later on.

Marketability okay. But Mike deserves a payday that Manny could bring him. And I dont think Manny will f**k him up as easy as some think. Will Alvarado win no but he'll be game and competitive.
