Comments Thread For: Marquez on Why He Didn't Choose Provodnikov Bout

[SUBZER0ED]

Marquez wants to avenge his loss to Bradley. He hopes Bradley wins against Pacquiao, so he has a shot at winning his belt, thus making history as the first Mexican fighter to win championships in 5 weight classes. This will break the tie that he has with Erik Morales in 4 weight classes. Then he will retire. He knows he can't just sit around waiting for a title shot without fighting someone, so he chose Alvarado to stay in the game. Both Alvarado and Bradley have Provo in common. If Marquez beats Alvarado, the logic is that he somehow belongs in the title mix. He thinks Mike is the easier choice, especially since he just came off a hard defeat from Provodnikov. Despite what Juan says about not needing the LWW title again, Provo is a tough fight and a potential big roadblock in his quest to rematch Bradley. http://boxrec.com/media/index.php?title=Human:12222

hey juan, tell them the truth. ruslan is more of a live dog than alvarado. and jmm doesnt want him to spoil his chances against either pac or bradley. coz we all know bob will pit him against pac-bradley winner even if he had fought and beat ruslan.

why does he keep pretending he was really a JWW champ?
he got an interim belt, got upgraded, then never defended it
piss drinker is old and has a right to do whatever he wants
no problem at all with him facing Alvarado
but stop with this 5 title crap, he wasn't a legit JWW titlist
wishing he'd just retire, it ****** seeing Bradley take advantage of him

[TOBYLEE1]

Still he doesn't explain why, I don't know what Provo being a champ has to do with not fighting him

[Senor_frogs]

Why does he even deserve another title shot??? Bradley schooled him! So beating Alvarado at a CW, not even at full ww gets him another title shot??? While the guy who just trashed Alvardo is calling him out. Sorry JMM, you're ducking and that's that. Fans can give him a pass but let it be written in history that JMM ducked Provodnikov. Nacho and JMM understand that deep inside too.

Then that means Provo is ducking "BAM BAM". Provodnikovs team was making the excuse that rios couldn't make 140lbs. Rios says he can make the weight. What's the excuse now. There is no bigger fight money wise out there at the moment. He knows Rios can hurt him maybe even stop him. Bradley was putting it on him to the point where Roach was going to stop the fight. Imagine what rios would do to him. He knows it's a high risk fight. He doesn't want to risk having a set back. So he chose to duck him. Provo understands that deep inside also.

He needs Provo to legitimize him? Really?
If Marquez beats Provo he goes back to being a FNF fighter. The excuses would line up as to why Marquez beat him.

He was never that good, he beat a shot Alvarado, he fought a Bradley who fought the wrong fight etc etc...

Provo is a legit champ at 140. Do you not understand?? He held his own against a top 10 p4p fighter and he literally 'broke the will' of a strong jr. welter contender.

JMM has no credible claim on being a 140lb champ. He beat Fedchenko who was only a #4 ranked contender. And when he was being called out by real jr welterweight contenders in Rios and Khan,...he bailed.

You are just blindly ignoring the truth. All I'm saying is that by beating a legit champ, he'd solidify his status at 140. Beating Likar Ramos and Fedchenko doesn't do it for a lot of us.

Pacquiao did the same won some ****ty belt from a paper champ in David diaz and then moved up and never defended it. He did this in many divisions. He never fought the legit champ. So stop with the eight division champ ****.

[handsome1-1]

Whikst the steroids PEDs are working for him and getting away with not getting tested, he may as well keep fighting. He also stayed away from prod and went for a non title with easy fight Alvarado coz Marquez would ve got tw atted...

Marquez is a whining little bi tch but he ain't daft, he knows how to dodge getting caught taking steroids .

Jmm sholud fight bradley. I do not care what bradley fans say, jmm won or drawed. Bradley despite being younger and smaller, ran and hugged often. Big headed bradley is afraid to fight jmm again.
