people should quit hounding piss drinker about this
Bradley is a different story, but not Marquez; he actually beat Pac
that KO was one of boxing's best wins, he can't do any better
especially after the indecisiveness of fight 3, a 5th isn't needed
piss drinker won that rivalry with the KO so it's over

Great fighter,true legend,god luck on your quest for a 5th divisional title..I think Bradley will start out trying to box,but soon as Jmm hits him good he will stand and fight and that will be his downfall

Yep it is over,but Mannys fans will come in here crying making excuses and calling Jmm names

How many times does a man have to defend his decision to not fight a guy he destroyed? Especially when he chose to face a top fighter as his next opponent.

Yea that's fine, however he also said he might consider Alvarado next, but Pac never again, for the sake of memories, despite a 4x larger purse

Alvarado is his mandatory at 140 if he wants to keep his title there...Jmm is fighting for legacy now not money..he already knocked Manny out

[Cinci Champ]

the man feels the first 2 fights were close but he honestly feels he won the 3rd and we all know what happened in the 4th give the guy a break we dont need a 5th fight

If he wins this next fight, he's got another belt at 147, i don't see him ever dropping to 140. Mike would probably come up.

Hey I agree his resume could use much beefing up, not that great beyond Pac. Just picked a funny time to do it, with a winning lottery ticket in hand. And Alvarado won't do much for it, certainly less than retiring Pac for real in a hugely anticipated 5th fight.

Why face a guy he beat 4 times? I'm glad Marquez is fighting Bradley...dangerous fight at this stage in his career but the man is a warrior!
