Comments Thread For: Marquez Not Overly Impressed With Pacquiao's Win

[Dr Rumack]

I love how barely anyone actually reads the articles on these threads. Marquez says nothing offensive about Pacquiao at all. He just points out that Rios was the right type of opponent for him, which everyone knows anyway.

Exactly! People are so precious about THEIR fighter (bordering on disturbing) that they go straight to mudslinging mode when ANYONE says something that isn't tantamount to falling at the altar of their favouwite fwighter in da whole wide world. Before the fight, the same people were justifying the opponent due to Pacquiao "coming back from a devastating KO defeat". Fine by me. But as soon as Marquez points out Rios' obvious deficiencies, the sycophantic ranting explodes.

LOL at boxing computer geeks questioning the courage of someone who shared the ring wjth Pacquiao 4 times! I guess call pro boxers names online takes more guts..... as you were.....

I'm a PAC fan and I say no to a fight with Marquez. Its's over and done they have nothing to prove each other. Their multiple dances has produce epic fights.

Btw, Floyd has that kind yet? I don't think so... He has no epic match ups up to now.

PAC had, morales, Barrera, Marquez. It's his version of the 4 horseman.

Leonard had haggler, Hearns and Duran.

That makes a legend a legend he danced with the greats of the sport and produced epic fights.

Pac caught those guys at the tail ends of their careers. Second, what Pac has gone through has no bearing on Floyd. It is a tale of two careers, and Floyd is greater than Pac right now. I'd call Pac a legend if he were to beat Floyd.

listen, i agree their careers should be assessed separately, but when you really think about it, their careers run parallel. both are guilty of victories under suspect circumstances & their 147 resumes are damn near identical.

to dismiss pacs work against morales, barrera, & jmm is a tragic example of bias... because you can say the same thing about floyds work against corrales, gatti, etc...

i think the canelo win clenched it for floyd. most fans KNEW canelo wasnt ready to share the stage with floyd. the fight further solidified those thoughts... but floyd gets all the credit in the world for making that fight happen, it was the most dangerous fight he had available.

I used to like marquez. He should be called la llorona. He got schooled by bradley, fight ruslan and retire. Hopefully he will put u to sleep. And I'm mexican.

You aren't Mexican alt, lmao.

Marquez staking his claim for the GOAT jealous whiner.

[NearHypnos]

Then fights him, punkass Marquez scared to death of a 8 million plus payday to fight Pacquiao again. This dude just got schooled by Bradley. want to talk about the Pacman, without the Pacman there is no Marquez.

So scared of a guy he KOd.. Do you even read the articles or watch the fights? For one Bradley beat JMM but it was by no means a schooling ala Rios-Pac. Als, JM didnt even say aything negative as the title implied. He said Pac looked impressive but jury still out on how hed handle a real threat or how his punch resistance is... He even praised Pac by saying unless you hav somespeed you dont stand a chance


JMM is right, Rios isnt good enough to challenge Pac.

[waxfondler]

i dont think jmm is saying anything offensive at all... he is saying the truth.

BUT, you can clearly sense the passive aggressive butthurt in his statements... he is feeling like a bridesmaid right now. LOL.

pac had a HORRIBLE 2012, yet he can still pack a venue and headline a PPV like nothing happened. he paints a masterpiece against a limited fighter and then the hype starts again.... no wonder jmm is a bit salty.

jmm KO's pac... loses to tim... and is back in mexico with nobody giving a damn... he knows that the hype machine started, and that after a few more impressive victories for pac, the story is about his triumphant return, not about his ko loss... in the end, jmm is left sour AGAIN.

only his niche fans will cling to the KO and "keep the feeling". theres a possibility pac might move on and the KO will be remembered as a speedbump, not a career-ender (like lennox, wlad, etc.).

[BuckToothed]

So since Marquez just lost to Bradley, he's now discrediting Pac's performance to make his KO of Pac relevant again by saying Rios didn't chin-check Manny, lol.

Oh and JMM ducked Rios.

[Dr Rumack]

I can understand JMM not wanting to risk what for him was the ideal end to his rivalry with Pacquaio. But to be honest, he's kind of doing that anyway by very publicly refusing a rematch that the Pacquaio side are pushing hard for. It would be different if he was moving onto bigger paydays, but the Pacquiao fight is by far the biggest payday Marquez can get.
