Comments Thread For: Marquez: I'm Facing Tim Bradley on 9/14 in Las Vegas

Oh man, bad move by jmm. Tim going to box circles around him and mark him up bad.

Pacquoao vs Marquez 5 is the biggest ppv Manny will ever do, yet Marquez doesn't deserve $2,000,000? If Marquez vs Bradley is on ppv and happens to do more than Alvarado vs Pacquiao, Marquez will even request more than $20,000,000 for Marquez vs Pacquiao 5.

Marquez, one of the best counter punchers to ever step into the ring, is going to get outboxed by Bradley?

Yeah okay.

I meant $20,000,000, not 2,000,000.

Yeah okay.

After seeing Bradley run from Manny and break his feet I highly doubt he will dominate JMM. Bradley has some skill but Marquez is clearly on another level even at this stage. Maybe youth will tilt it in Bradley direction but he lacks too much power to keep JMM from taking the L.

I knew Marquez was scared of Pacquiao but not at this level

He would get at least 10x the payday fighting Pac and it would be the biggest fight that can be made in boxing but nooooo he wants Bradley lmao

So why would PAC turn down a guaranteed $40 mili to fight Floyd only to make $15 fighting JMM?
By your logic he is scared sheet less of Floyd. Good night Son!

Going out to all paktards, i say in protest of this fight we all go out and kill ourselves. There are many ways to do it, we can jump off a bridge, light ourselves on fire, or get hit by an over-hand right by jmm. But whatever the case i say we all do it together, in protest because obvi jmm is scared to fight our fav fighter who just got ktfo and hasn't won in a year and hasnt knocked anyone out in almost half a decade!!! ********s unite!!!

My hat is off to you my good sir. Lmfao!!!

..that's good and bad for JMM! Bradley,Pacman and Arum are the real winner here. It's good the he followed his heart by picking Bradley for the title but Tim after learning how to fight against Prov, JMM's counter punching abilities is pretty much non-existent when they meet in the ring. Bradley by UD!

Pac will fight Alvarado or Rios in Macau which both guys are tailor made for a Packy win, in which will set up a rematch against Bradley early next year.

I really hope the 5th JMM/Pac never happens. ever! Pac got KO by one punch and could happen to any boxer but JMM was getting badly beaten by Pac before the KO and to use that as a barometer against Tim is a mistake. Very high risk with low reward. Forget the 5th, I want to see Pac/Bronner next year. I hope Bob learned something from his past poor business judgement.

No disrespect intended but then you're a damn fool. I'd rather get knocked down 5 times, get up and knock the fool out cold who knocked me down 5 times, then get knocked out and lay motionless on my face for 5 minutes. You are bugging. The things people say to try to make Pacquiao look dominate. Dude almost got pulled into the light by that right hand.

I don't think you understood what I meant. The chance of Pacquaio being KO'd out cold again is I'd say most likely close to 0, the chance of someone actually scoring a KO (out cold) is pretty crap. Being totally knocked out and 'sleeping' is a damn rare thing, and honestly it's more to do with stars aligning than anything else.

Being knocked down 5 times shows you can't adapt, make the same mistakes and continue to pay the price for them. You can call me a fool all you want, and claim I'm trying to 'hype' Pacquaio up, but I'm not directly. I'm trying to explain that Marquez isn't as smart as people would think in the ring, and a lot of the time he's thinking he's also being hit in the face.

What do you think is more ability based (physical etc) and skillful; knocking a guy down in close to every fight you have (5 times total), or scoring a KO in the final fight which is only as dramatic is it is because Marquez power was intensifed by Pacquaio's lunge forward?

Knocking someone out cold is not something that to me shows skill, it honestly is so rare that it is a small % skill and a large % luck.

You can gloat all you want about him putting someone to sleep for 5 minutes, but when it truly comes down to it, he won't be able to probably do that to anyone else in his lifetime, so it's hardly skill based. Knocking someone down happens much more often, and I think shows more about skill than putting someone to sleep 1/100 fights.

I'd personally call you a fool for thinking putting someone out cold is better than showing you can consistently capitalize on someones mistakes resulting in multiple knockdowns. But whatever.
