Another hype job

[Public_Enemy]

I'm not saying Marquez wasn't an excellent boxer because he was however after the manny pacquiao knockout was it a case of another hype job just like lucas matthysse after he scored the knock out of Lamont Peterson it seemed for both matthysse and Marquez people forget everything that happened before there big knockouts. Let's not forget how good bradley is and was but was Marquez being over hyped?

Marquez and hype job shouldn't ever be used in the same sentence. I will admit that he does struggle with the same type of fighters. But in his defense he is 40 years old in his 5th weight class. I also liked how he did in the latter rounds of the fight last night. Jmm is an ATG with flaws just like the other atgs.

Another thing. JMM is a gamer. He's lost a lot of speed and reflexes but the guy finds ways to stay effective and he slipped a lot of punches last night. I actually liked what I saw from him. I wish he was more active but he was unable to pull the trigger enough. That's common with older fighters. JMM should do a farewell fight in Mexico and then hang em up.

What. The. ****.

Did I seriously just read that Juan Manuel freaking Marquez was a hype job?

Sort of thread I'd expect from NSB these days given the huge influx of wrestling fan minded posters that flood the boards with their "my fighter is better than your fighter" crap.

They out number genuine boxing fans on here these days which is a shame 'cause this was once a brilliant place for boxing discussion amongst very knowledgable posters. When a boxer lost a fight, we used to analyse why. Now...to the band of morons who only have agendas for their favourite fighter people only lose because they're hype jobs or they get robbed.

Go back to watching WWE, please.

Juan a hype job? Wow...just wow. This place is always comedy for one reason or another after most big fights. Tim is prime and beat Juan who should have retired the second the PAC fight was waved off. He is 40 and has had a great career and has been an absolute technician who could throw together some of the most amazing combinations I've ever seen. Just because he couldn't last night does not= hype job. You either don't know (don't start threads like this if you are new to boxing, you look silly) or you're a troll. Neither is good.
