Marquez did not have huevos (BALLS)!

[JOM'S]

Really sorry for the not-so-nice title of this thread, but this was the exact words of respected boxing analyst Isaac Barrio of Hard Core Boxing on 1/20/2005:

In my eyes, Pacquiao successfully defeated Juan Manuel Marquez in a rematch that never actually took place inside the ring. Why? Because based on their first bout, Juan Manuel Marquez did not have the huevos (BALLS) to negotiate a rematch…and to me that constitutes Defeat.

No one knows? Hey dude . . . you are the only one who doesn't know what happened to the Marquez camp. It's all over the printed publications, it's all over boxing websites . . . twice he CHICKENED out and made an excuse for that rematch not to happen . . . isn't it obvious why HBO dumped him like a "HOT POPTATO"? Talking without knowing anything? Nah . . . nah . . . nah . . . people like you simply ignore the facts, the truth hurts dude.

Everybody needs to SHUT UP? Nah again . . . since you don't know what happened to the Marquez camp, then you SHUT UP. You don't know **** DUDE.

all speculation. u need to stop talking like u know everything.

Last we heard was that his team was negotiating with Israel Vasquez. I wonder what happened to the negotiations?

Cheech, I like PacMan a lot but those are some funny pics. Anyway, I understand why JMM did not take the money or the fight. It was basically just to much risk and not enough reward. Pac proved he could beat him the first time and JMM did not want to take that chance because it would take him a long time to get back to the top and get big money fights. It's kind of like the situation Wright, Byrd and others have been in. They all just got styles that people don't want to deal with and if they lose they aint gonna get another shot for a long time. So in the end I can respect his decision and thank him because I wanted to see the Morales fight more anyways. JMM should try to fight MAB and the winner fight the PaMan vs. Morales winner.

yes i agree 100% but sadly people just want to see it as bitching out. its a career move not being scared.

if he chose to save his career...it's the same as being scared (to lose his career). don't you think? i mean real fighter like erik & mab wouldn't hesitate to put their pride, honor and carrer on the line just to prove they're the best of the best. now, that's a real career-defining move imho.

so? i could care less about what this guy thinks. no one knows what really happened in the marquez camp so everyone needs to shut up. its like talking without really knowing anything.

then why are you talking? does that mean you know everything? every posters has the right to express as much as you want to express your trash talkin'. so give them a break will yah. and one more thing, if you care less about what others would have to say, dont feel like others cares much for yours.

not enough reward? that guy beat MAB (the big pay fighter/the people's champ)! what about having BIG name, BIGGER pay, and KEEPING/ADDING up his marketability? arent those more than the titles he's clingin on. if he wants to fight the Mexican legends and get big pay day, he need to beat Pacman first to prove that he is more worthy than Pacman in taking a fight with MAB or EM.

Beating Pacquaio would generate tons of reward. Pacquiao is recognized by many as the best active fetherweight out there. A victory against him would skyrocket your name into superstradom. You will open up doors of oppurtunities should you be successfull. A win over Pac would pave the way for a Morales or barrera superbout, but he couldn't see this. And so he missed out on 2 big payday. His loss but to be honest with you, I don't think he minds misssing out on a February 26 fight agains Manny Pacquiao, I mean his nose just healed an all
