Comments Thread For: Marquez Explains Why He Picked Bradley over Pacquiao

[St. John's Gent]

Muhammad Ali has a great legacy, so does Joe Frazier and Joe Louis, but they wound up mentally ill and broke. Floyd has been a guide for all athletes in how to maximize your earning potential while maintaining your health and sanity.

Great comment! Right on point! Health is worth more than anything, I feel bad for Khan, and i'm not trying to talk **** or nothin, but he gets rocked and wobbled way too much, and Rios who also takes too much punches, Floyd is undefeated, richest boxer in the world, but on top of that he's healthy and looks healthier than most boxers at his age, that's something to admire!

Marquez talks about honor? Honor is giving pacman a rematch just like he gave you one. Marquez trolled for rematches and time and time again pacman gave him a chance. Manny really didn't have to! And shouldn't have rematches Marquez.

Should have a new word now for JMM fans...
Marqtards, I swear they're more loud and obnoxious than the *******s now.
Plus the bias shown towards Mexican fighters...
I like Mexican fighters but come on man, they tried to justify Rios beating Abril because Abril was holding on to much then as soon as Molina uses the same tactic its masterful and a wonderful site don't play that ****!

To be honest, Marquez is playing this whole situation the smart way. He doesn't really doesn't have anything to gain in a fifth fight. His legacy in boxing was cemented with that KO after years of not quite being considered the great that Pacquiao was once considered. That right hand counter was not a lucky punch. Marquez was getting touched up pretty badly and he saw an opening an overzealous Pacquiao gave him by trying finish a round strong in the last 10 seconds. That's what happened. Plain and simple. Idiots on both sides need to stop ****ting on each guy. These two are elite HOF fighters and that's what can happen when boxers like that go toe to toe.

If Marquez doesn't land that punch maybe he gets stopped. If Pacquiao doesn't get hit with that punch at that time, then maybe he gets hit with it later. That's why there's so much interest in a fifth fight. If he loses in a fifth fight, he loses everything he gained in the fourth fight. If Pacquiao loses to Rios then Marquez is the one who gets to take credit for truly ending his career.

People can question his courage all they want to, but at the end of the day Marquez has proven his worth in the ring. Anyone who questions either of these guy's balls is a moron and not truly a fan of boxing. Fan boy bull**** is for comic geeks. Put your ass in the ring and do what any of these men do or train the way they have to train to fight. Make the sacrifices they make.

You can't do it.

That's why you're throwing mud at them from afar. Boxing is a ****ty, crooked business and they all deserve credit for leveraging what they can. Only a handful make it this far.

A win is a win ano need for JMM to explain anything and my hat is on him! But he should retire so everyones believes he won't fight Pac again because of his age. But if he stays fighting then he needs to fight Pac again to seal their rivalry closed should he wins in an impressive manner again! But he alibi that their rivalries is closed by his last KO wins against Pac because he believes he had already wins 3x of their previous fights, is a complete lie!

If he believed he had wins all those 3 previous fights, why needs for a 4rth wins to believe their rivalry sealed-off? Simple, because he himself doesn't convinced that he wins those 3 fights, because a lose is a lose, and that's it, he lost 2x, 1x draw, and 1x win on their last fight!

And why he is avoiding Pac this time? Because he knows that a luck is a luck and most likely he could not duplicate that luck in a very short time. Why luck? Because that KO punch was just once in a life time for him and he knows that, that kind of punch did not come in their last 3 fights! Well, it was true that Pac was down 2 times that night but Pac was controlling the pace of fights, and JMM knows well that a 5th fight will result the same manner except that Pac will becomes careful this time, and becomes more ferocious!

JMM avoidance to face Pac is a smart move if he retires to preserve his legacy and wins against his best nemesis intact, and shouldn't open his mouth again so as not to be got owned!

Yall forgot that Marquez dropped Pac 2rnds before he officially put him to sleep! It was a pretty even fight to me! Yes Pac came back and broke Marquez nose! So what! And the shot wasn't lucky! If u go back and watch the fight, Marquez was timing and hitting him with the same shot! He did it a couple of times, so I don't know why yall hating! And I do feel like he beat Pac in the 3rd fight! But why fight again if I just put u to sleep! Arum shouldn't have had them fighting again anyway! How many chances are u going to give someone to tknock u out!

Whoops you forgot Pac knocked down Marquez too. Why fight again if he put Pac to sleep? Prove it was not a fluke? Give the guy a chance at retribution like Pacquiao did 3 times, even after getting busted by Chris John after refusing an immediate rematch with Pac? Make the most money he'll ever make ever in a single fight? Avoid getting a definite loss to Bradley next? Avoid losing leverage in negotiations for a 5th fight after losing to Bradley? The list goes on and on. Karma is coming. Believe it.

People talk about Marquez's legacy but discount what's coming for him later this year. Bradley will **** on it badly and Marquez will end up begging Pacquiao for a fifth fight. Styles, buddy.

JMM is making the right decision, the 2nd and 3rd fight most thought he won both but the decision went to Pacquiao. Maybe this was because of the crowd influencing the judges or them being corrupt we don't know, but he took it out of their hands in the last fight and it's understandable if he doesn't want to give them the opportunity to take whats his again.
