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.

WTF? As if I've never gotten the concept of how styles clash in boxing. I'm not so sure about Bradley ****ting on Marquez's legacy after that war with Provodnikov.

The funny thing is that they say Marquez is scared but dude traveled to the Philippines during Manny's celebration party. Walked up in Pacquiao's face and said "You know you didn't beat me". That takes balls and guts but all of a sudden Marquez is scared of a guy he laid flat on his face. These cats are hurt.

"Never" had nothing to root for in boxing?

oh, boy....when did you got interested in boxing?

DEFINETLY not when PACQUIAO started boxing in USA . ....how about you? Most of the people in the pinays only knew a guy called Mohamed Ali before Many PACQUIAO ......... And that was because he was a the most commercial fighter of his era... Not the greatest of all time. Only casual fans consider Ali the greatest of all times and we know who the casual fans are........ 30 years ago there was a 22 yr old boy who could've beaten MARQUEZ 9 out 10 times. From the same country as MARQUEZ. He was beating hall of fame fighters at 22 yrs.... Who was PACQUIAO at 22? Do you know Azumah Nelson tell me who was able to K.O Azumah in his prime? Even better ....who .K.O'd Azumah past his prime? I don't think it was "Flash" Elorde. Go ask Roy jones jr. Who he considers a more complete fighter over Mohamed Ali?

Did you just start watching boxing? This is ridiculous, "how can you statistically win when you've been knocked down?" Thats ******ed it's only ONE point when you send someone to the canvass, a title fight has 120 points availble, JMM won more rounds in both of the first two fights in most people's eyes. If you want to see how you win a fight while also being the only person knocked down in the fight watch JCC JR vs Maravilla or Maravilla's last fight. Than you went on to brag about your post saying its a good read in the forum! Dude you need to watch some more matches outside of pac fights

Don't stress yourself with these Fan boys.... They just started watching boxing when PACQUIAO beat a started to decline Barrera..... How much knowledge of boxing do u expect from those fan boys?

Marquez fights for honor and legacy while others fight to be Arum's pet and to make Arum money.

LOL....LM.F.A.O........YEAH YOU ARE CORRECT.......!!!!!!!!!RICH!!!!!! Is the correct word. I know Pancho,,,even more "Flash" Elorde But if you tell me that Espinosa and penalosa were great we'll I don't know what to say. But hey ....you a have . RUNNITO DONAIRE.viloria, Gesta. Bum bum Bautista ... Recently retired by an unknown Mexican. I like farenas tho.. Very humble PINOY ...wish him the best. Loved his fight against Gamboa. Made a fan of me. Hey enjoy your Rich boxing heritage ... By the way Mexico and Pinas has almost the same population but not even close in the amount of boxing world champions that each country has in their boxing history. Kudos to you KABABAYANS MABUHAY Filipinas .

Marquez is entitled to his own opinion.
But, then, OFFICIALLY, and is also indicated in his own Boxing Record,
The result is clearly: 2 wins; 1 draw; and 1 loss in favor of Pac

JMM & Bradley Have The SAME Reasons For Not Fighting Pacquiao; Neither Can Beat Him!

JMM's comments were ******. He stood to make double this time around fighting Pacquaio...tell Mayweather the money isn't the main thing. Bradley knows in his heart he was blown out by Pacquiao. Although the 3 previous figths between Pacquiao and JMM were close, this last fight JMM was running out of gas, bloodied, would have been stopped within 3 more rounds when Pac got over confident & careless, and JMM landed his hail mary punch. That's all. It's not like JMM was taking it to Manny at that point in the fight. He was behind on all scorecards and that's the reality. JMM is a weasel. Got for rematches given to him, and Manny made him a very wealthy man. Manny DIDN'T have to give JMM any rematching... but he gav him four. He can't return ONE rematch to Pac. JMM & Bradley both know for no amount of money do they want Pacquiao again.

People calling it a lucky punch are ignorant.

It's not a counter punch though. It is just a beautifully executed well timed right. As Pacquiao comes in, step left and *boom* but it's not a counter. Pacquiao hasn't thrown first - if anything, he's about to throw.


So Pacquiao fights him 3 times, knocks him down 4 times, and still fights him again...

Marquez talks about honor. It's interesting to hear his definition of honor. His definition is not honor, it's pride, and that's totally different.

"I won by KO therefore I don't need another fight." He's proud of the end result, that's fine.

However, the honorable thing would be to give the guy a rematch, since he gave you 2 rematches after getting wins. And don't cry about the judging, no fight was a robbery, they were all close as hell.

Even this fight was close, ironically. But for the knockdown in the 3rd and the knock out, it was a really one sided fight and Marquez was getting his face peeled off. In the 6th, they were talking about how much longer before Marquez's corner put an end to it.

I can respect the choice of Bradey as an opponent though I really think Marquez should give Pacquiao the chances that Pacquiao gave him. It is the honorable thing to do.

However, given the way Marquez talks, it is clear he's not an honorable man but a proud man.

Stop it. The reason Manny gave Marquez a rematch was because of the doubt people had on the questionable wins. There was nothing to be question on a knock out, not knockdowns but a go to sleep and be woken up by bathsalts knock out.
