Comments Thread For: Why Bradley-Marquez Matters

[low_Bo]

Marqez has zero integrity. Between his attitude after the PAC fight and his shady tactics dodging vada, he lost any respect I had for him. I hope Bradley breaks his face.

The details about him having slurred speech and other side effects for 2 months after his last fight are pretty worrying. I respect his (any every boxer's) toughness and willingness to take risks, but if that was a friend or relative of mine I'd be telling them to consider stepping away from the sport.

I like Bradley a lot, I do think he should've stuck to his guns on the testing issue even if it meant missing out on the fight because it's obvious what's going on.

On both points though it's his career and his life, I just hope he wins because if he loses a close fight it'll be natural to think that the steroids JMM is on made the difference.

I always felt the reaction to Bradley beating Pacquiao was OTT. Sure, he didn't deserve the nod, but he fought all 12 rounds despite being in a lot of pain and copping a bit of a beating in the first 6. Pacquiao coasted the last 6 and left the door open. You can't blame Bradley for that.

Marquez... man... the dude is fishy as ****. If a man will drink his own piss, you can bet he'll take PEDs if he knows he can get away with it. If Top Rank is paying why would you not submit to VADA testing... oh, that's right. He incredible hulked the Pacquiao fight and doesn't want to be found out.

I was becoming a big Marquez fan over the years until this. To think of all the crap Pacquiao received over his to-ing and fro-ing with Mayweather - at least he agreed to it when the chips were down.

Mr Universe at 40, punching power like David Haye, photos with a big 'roid gut, and refusing VADA... what other red flags do we need before the fans tell him to put up or shut up.

So what happened in the 4th Pac-Marquez fight they wanted Marquez to take the test and he say yes but Pac had to take them too then Pac's camp refused to take the test. So what does that say about Pac. Or when he refused to take the test when they were first negotiating to fight Mayweather. He refused to take the test and Pac has never asked for extra testing he said let the commission do there job. You fanboys are funny.

He was never defeated by anyone suspected of being on it. Call it naive but I think he learned his lesson.

Well Coach Roach wanted testing for Marquez in the last bout. Marquez was willing to take the test but he wanted for Pac to take the test as well. But Pac's camp refused, now that look su****ious you request testing for the opponent but you don't want to take the test.

Bradley one of best guy's in the sport

Hauser is right. Bradley is a man of high character and an excellent fighter with a ton of heart to boot. He puts himself on the line and he prepares like a consummate professional. Not many carry the combination of talent and cajones that Bradley brings into the ring coupled with his amazing work ethic. I thought his fight was PAC was close too. Yes, the rounds Pac won seemed wider BUT the thing is the Rounds Pac won and the one's Bradley nipped were all scored 10-9. Maybe with the WBA and Argentinian system of 1/2 points it would have been easier to score as Bradley would have won a bunch by 10-9 1/2 while Pacs rounds would have been 10-9. But it was scored by our system and the scores were reasonable. And to Bradley's credit, he did seem to close the last quarter of the fight well on a fatiguing Pacman. And you know what? Bradley vs. Marquez is a serious fight and I'm not sure who I'm picking yet. Lots to look at.

Plus why would he be bullied by the Mayweathers? He was P4P PPV champ. You're worth nothing if you allowed yourself to be bullied by thugs. Pinoy pride was at stake.

Bullied the dude refused the biggest pay day he will ever make and he could have proved a lot of people wrong. Thats why....

Marquez is my favorite boxer but his refusal to take testing is a major blow to how I view him.. Hope Bradley wins since Marquez is really looking villainous.. Damn what happened to you Dinamita?

[toolegit]

I's sure Memo and JMM have plan B and C for this fight considering the VADA and USDA testing. Timing would be considered very critical.

Where in hell did Marquez refuse to take the test? every interview I see from JMM is the same answer yes we are doing random testing, but not with VADA only with the USADA, so why is this sh**ty story keeps on comming back with same rethoric that JMM refuse the test? if JMM don't want VADA, who can blame him? Victor Conte (Who hates Heredia with passion) Is the main man for VADA, and would not hesitate to destroy Heredia if given the oportunity.
