Comments Thread For: Juan Manuel Marquez: Timothy Bradley is Showing His Fear

[radioraheem]

Margarito got caught n his fans still support him. Idk why anyone is shocked JMM fans are naively behind him even though its obvious that something isn't right. KO power increases at 39 of age. Ripped body on a guy who was never ever ripped before. Now he's greasy balling his way out of the extra testing. Saying he doesn't need this fight blah, blah, blah. JMM looking crazy suspect.

Margarito got caught cheating and many don't discredit his career and record. How he's still brought up in conversations today is funny to me.

I love JMM, he's a great technician and the smartest fighter not named Mayweather. But I'll admit he was on drugs. But so was Pacquaio. When both of these fighters are clean, they aren't going to be brutally beating fighters up like that. I predict Pacquaio will get stopped by Brandon Rios. And it won't be because of what JMM did to Pac. It's because Pacquaio will be fighting clean. We'll see exactly what the clean Pacquaio does soon.

But I'll take it further and say that I think Matthysse and Sergio Martinez are on drugs too! Martinez isn't knocking out Paul Williams like nothing, leaving him on the ground with his eyes bulging out like he's dead. Not without drugs. Same with Matthysse. His knockout and knockdown ratio is VERY suspect. I can't wait to see what happens on Sept 14th, after undergoing the USADA testing. We'll see if his power is indeed the truth.

I'm not sure if this has been posted already, but here's a link to the original Spanish article and accompanying video that this boxingscene article is based on:

http://espndeportes.espn.go.com/news/story?id=1859147&s=box&type=story&src=mobile

They go over some of the same points several times in the video, so here's a basic summary:

Marquez is adamant about his willingness to submit to testing anytime and anywhere because he wants to prove that he's clean. According to him, the Nevada commission insisted on their involvement and has authority when it comes to taking the samples. He stated that if Bradley doesn't trust them to do the actual testing, the samples can be taken to VADA, USADA, WADA or any other lab. He says it's all the same protocol and he doesn't know if Bradley doesn't understand, looking for an excuse to pull out, or playing mind games. He closes by stating that he's willing to submit to Olympic style testing without a problem. He wants to prove that he's clean and isn't afraid of testing much less mental games if Bradley chooses to play them.

Maybe someone can provide a more detailed translation, but that's the gist of it anyway.

I hear all these people claiming Marquez is afraid of getting tested. Did everyone overlook the post above with the video of Marquez addressing this issue?^ He clearly states that he's ready and willing to be tested and Bradley's claims are baseless. If anyone is to blame for the confusion regarding testing, it's Arum. The guy needs to sit down with both parties and sort out the details.

A lot of dumb asses I see smh,Bradley said he wants tests as long as they're conducted by vada/usada Marquez been agreed & accepted long time ago.People can speculate all they want but Marquez is clean ,the guy never lifted a weight in his life when you do it for 3 straight months you're bound to get some results this isn't rocket science fools.Most of you bash JMM yet support potential or former cheaters yourselves,Pac,Pederson,Bertroid,mosely,toney,jone s jr,b-hop ect the list goes on & on.

Are you talking about Floyd ***** mayweather who won the golden glove championship at the ****n weight of 106 lbs as an amateur and who is now a super welterweight champ via the faded and Pac leftover, Cotto?

So sit down and shut your stinky trap.

I Don't care about that piece of **** Mayweather, I'm talking about the guy who has been sleeping on the canvas 9 months ago.

The problem is that he allegedly signed to do VADA as well as USADA.

"If this guy doesn't get drug tested at all by VADA or USADA then the fight’s not going to happen,” said Bradley."

http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/355136

It looks to me like Bradley was asking for either VADA OR USADA.

JMM has agreed to USADA so there should be no problen.

Bob Arum seems to be the one who muddied the waters by wanting the Nevada commission to do the testing instead.

I don't think it's fair to point at the Mayweather-Marquez fight as any sort of evidence that Marquez wouldn't belong at welterweight without steroids.

With Maywather vs Marquez, JMM went up two weight classes to take on Floyd before the fight.

With Pacquaio-Marquez III, Marquez had almost an entire year to move up to welterweight, and even had a tune-up fight in the region of 140-144 before that fight. He had a lot more time to adjust to the weight gain.

With Pacquiao-Marquez IV, he had even more time to get accustomed to the weight.

I'm not saying anything about whether Marquez was doping against Pacquiao either in that 4th fight or earlier, simply saying that he had time to move up in weight against Pacquiao whereas he didn't have that same luxury against Mayweather.

Bradley is making excuses he knows what's going to happen that's why he's talkin all this mess now he's pathetic his last two victories were gifts ain't happeni g this time brother.

I thought Bradley did not agree to the re hydration thing..

That was what JMM was pushing for I think...no rehydration more than 10 pounds. I'm not sure if it's in their contracts or whatever but it'll be a non-issue irregardless. I believe Tim is on pace to come in pretty ripped up for this fight.

Discarding of samples is hearsay. Not a fact.

Both report to the Promoter and Commission. But both organizations have made some mistakes due to inexperience with boxing. VADA withheld a positive sample from the Commission, Promoter, etc, until the last minute. USADA started a testing process and ceased it immediately within a couple days.

USADA reported to the promoter who in turn, attempted to conceal the results, that is a fact.
