Mike is no Joke.
This is going to be a tough contest.

Bradley made JMM look kind of aged.

Mike can duke inside and out.
I like Alvarado by split nod.

Juan's right. If he looks bad against Mike he needs to hang them up.

No more JMM Pacquiao fights. Floyd needs to fight Pac before he retires. I don't want to see Pac fight anyone else; there's no point. No Bradley no Provodnikov no JMM. I want to see Pac and Floyd settle this ****.

I agree with juan memoel marquez but he make it seem like he'd get the same result but reality is i think he believes a 5th fight is too much of a risk that even with the highest reward, he's not willing to take...and i think alvarado is a big risk even if jmm was not old given he got hurt by smaller men and he really has never beaten a fighter with a good physical advantage over him...

thank you Marquez, I knew he wouldn't sell out for a worthless 5th fight. Who's Arum gonna feed Manny now, there's no opponent on his stable that will generate big PPV money vs Pacman. Bradley, Provodnikov, Rios and Alvarado is all Pacquiao has to look forward to and that's damn sad.

Hmmm...

...I've never liked this fight for Marquez. Sure, JMM is a much greater boxer, but this one seems like bad news.

[LoadedWraps]

I expect JMM to beat him and ten retire, and he would be doing the right thing, WARquez has proved enough, he made his mark in boxing history.

a lot of people here talked **** about this match coz they were expecting jmm to fight tougher challenges but if you look at jmm's resume, milehigh is actually a step up since he started chasing pac with only a couple of exceptions(pac and bradley) ....none of his past opponents had the size advantage that mike alvarado will have on him...

This is a tough fight for Marquez.

I expect a war.
