Comments Thread For: Team Provodnikov: Marquez Wants Easier Foe in Alvarado

[Nightfall]

When it gets to the point where a champion is begging for a fight

[shade darkar]

id be disappointed if marquez chose to fight alvarado. if he cant get his welterweight title shot and is taking a fight in the mean time, id much rather watch him fight against provodnikov. that would be a 50/50 fight in my opinion.

50/50 Marquez doesn't get his eye socket punched out.

I Could Not Have Said It Better; Marquez Knows NOT To Fight Provo Who HAS A Title!

I'm not sure how Marquez looks in a mirror these days. Without his PED's, he's weaseling to find an easy inexperienced fighter that won't jeopardize his chances of whining, crying and begging for as long as it takes for a rematch with Bradley because he feels Bradley can't hurt him. Alvarado can't hurt him either. Provo train wrecks Marquez and that spoils any hope of a fight with Bradley, ending Marquez' career. Marquez won't fight Pacquiao again because he knows he was the luckiest man in the world when he landed his Hail Mary on Pac, and with drug testing in place, can't pull off a 5th fight with Manny. Marquez has become real gutless of late. He knows he can't beat Provo, yet you go choose the b-level fighter Provo just destroyed. How do you face fans with THAT choice???? And when Pacquiao destroys Bradley, Marquez retires a real weasel. I love that Provo's camp is calling Marquez for what he is.

nobody cares about this fight ruslan!! fight rios and get a dose of reality, back to espn style

[animalfan10]

Porter beat ruslan so bad in sparring, roach refused to let them spar again - true story.......

Says who?? I heard the exact opposite (from someone who trains at Wild Card)....that Ruslan got the better of Porter and that they stopped sparring because Porter had a fight coming up and was getting battered to much.

You are talking about of your ass I think....


But either way Sparring is nothing compared to a fight....Not even comparable to a fight either way.

[animalfan10]

And Rios is a joke by the way. One of the worst "top" contenders I can remember in awhile.

This is the problem when a fighter gets to around 40. He wants to keep fighting but he knows that certain fights he would have taken as a younger man are dangerous now. Therefore, he avoids them. You want to let the veteran off the hook, but you can't really because it's just as much a duck as when a young man does it. This is a sign that the fighter should consider retiring.

[umop-ap!sdn]

i like provo he is very entertaining but why is he acting like hes pac man or tyson he beat alvarado his claim to fame was a lose and being manny training partner. his team just rubs me the wrong way hes calling out a 40 whatever year old marquez who has been in more wars then most has never been knocked out if im not mistaken most his losses were close he fought pac man 4 times for god sake and arguably won 3 of em. i just think provo is being ridiculous.

if he wants a big fight and war fight rios but no you threw out the 140 hoping rios would say he could not do 140

says he likes a guy ... spends rest of the post explaining why he doesn't like him.

Bahahaha good observation.
