If there's no fifth can we say JMM is ducking Manny

[Slip Stream]

I'm trying to remember this fight I saw where a guy got knocked down...and on the way down he took a swing and clipped the other guy on the nose and blood was gushing everywhere. Had to stop the fight and guess who won?

If a guy is getting outclassed and he wins by connecting with ONE punch, is that a convincing victory? There's too much luck involved there...but in this case a lot of ******ity on Pacquiao's part also. Disrespect got him.

You are seeing exactly what you want to see. Usually when a fight ends the way their last one did there isn't a clamour for a rematch because the winner was decisive. The KO erases all doubt about who won the fight.

Marquez wasn't "lucky," Pacquiao was careless, got timed, and got KTFO. These guys train for many years to be accurate not lucky. Luck is something you find in a slot machine not a prize fighter.

The only thing it changes is how dominating one was versus how the other person turned it around and won, so what? What does that have to do with JMM finally bringing closure to the rivalry after the close fights in which there was controversy? Your point would only hold weight if it was their first fight. Second at best.

First? Second? Does it really matter in such a great rivalry? Go check out Marquez–Vazquez. Should have it been stopped after the first fight? Second? Third?

The first 3 fights were close but so was the 4th except Marquez was able to KO Manny.

Most people would be willing and ready to see a 5th. Again, the only ones that wouldn't are the ones that do not want to see Manny beat Marquez. BUT as a fight fan, I can't see people saying no.

It wouldn't surprise me if Manny KOs Marquez next time nor if Marquez does it again ..... but who would say no to that?

Can't deny that. Pacquiao never uttered an excuse. However, as a knowledgeable boxing fan, I'm not convinced...and would not put my money on Marquez in a rematch.

More like if there is a 5th fight, JMM is cherry picking Manny.

Manny got "Hatton'd"

Everyone of you guys that used that ****** ass term up until the day of the fight, ****in eat it.

Manny's a great fighter, and a student of the game unlike most of his ****** ass fanboys on boxingscene.

Manny got "Hatton'd."

You know if you used the term, or had a picture showing the hatton knockout.

Marquez was 39 years old during the 4th fight.

Marquez will be 40 by the time a fifth fight happens.

He was landing that overhand right almost everytime he threw it.

He was the better man.

He knocked him out.

Deal.

Whatever .... if you check my posts, I never ever mention that Manny KOed Hatton except when people discuss it in comparison to other fights. We all know what happened. Perhaps I would have made fun of it if I hated Hatton but there is nothing to hate about Hatton. It was a great punch just like Marquez on Manny.

Manny vs Marquez 4 was very entertaining. Sure I wished Manny wouldn't lose that way but overall it was top notch boxing.

I probably wouldn't put my money on Marquez either, but that doesn't take away from the fact that in the end he proved to be the better man. Pacquiao should win if they meet a 5th fight, he simply should. Marquez showed slippage, looked a lot slower, not as sharp and if Bradley isn't effected by the beating he took in his last outing...he should outbox Marquez.

manny coul;dve told him to eff off after the 3rd fight but he didnt !!

And he should've, except he couldn't sleep at night knowing that he received a gift in 2 of those fights.

Marquez closed the rivalry with that KO. Guys need to now go their own seperate ways.

[JoeKidd]

after the world saw Marquez get robbed in what was suppose to be the end of the trilogy

Was that a close fight? Did you think Hagler beat Leonard? And Norton over Ali? Close fights go either way. I thought Marquez blew it by coasting at the end. Like DeLahoya and Trinidad.

I dunno why JMM won't fight someone he already KTFO... easy money
