Comments Thread For: Juan Manuel Marquez Ponders Whether To Fight Again

[Dinamita 03]

The problem is that is not the way it happened. People in Manny's camp were su****ious about Memo, the admitted PEDs cheat, being in Marquez's camp and seeing Marquez's physical improvements. Then with about 3 weeks to fight time, Marquez said that he would do extra testing but Marquez knew that it was too late and Arum stated the same when he was interviewed. That is, these things need to be brought up during negotiations as it takes time to get testing procedure under way.

So by Marquez saying what he said, he knew that it meant nothing because it was way too late!

I'm talking about the 3rd fight.

I'm talking about the 3rd fight.

Before knowing about Memo, there was no way that testing would have happened.

So same with both #3 and #4 ......
Think about it, when did we know about Memo? When we saw 24/7 .... that is when the su****ions and talk about Memo came about and by then it was too late.

but not only that. What puts Marquez in a no win situation is that Memo admitted that he can get his athletes to pass any test and knows of 20 ways to do so. Now factor in that being tested just a few times before a fight is all Memo needs to be careful about, ........ Memo must be laughing at that. Nobody is saying it's all talk because Memo actually got his athletes to pass OST!

Why not? So only Pacquiao is entitled to ask for extra testing and not Marquez?

We are discussing what occurred not who is entitled to do what ....

Man I love Marquez but he really should have retired after the Pac KO. That would have been the most gangster way to end your career right there, the ultimate ride off into the sunset story book ending. But nooooo, this fool had to try to fight Bradley, a fight which I thought he won albeit by a small margin, but he loses, then proves nothing at all by dismantling Mike Alvarado, now he is pondering another fight, whatever bro you killed it.

That being said I would love to see him whoop on Broner as someone else suggested

Cotto, Mosley and Margarito might hit harder than Marquez but they never clipped Pacquiao running in. Marquez smacked Pacquiao pretty hard, but it was the timing and placement that would put your idol to sleep.

I would tend to agree with you, if it was only the 1 knockdown. Marquez did knockdown Pac earlier in the fight and he saw it coming through his guard. JMM couldn't get 1 knockdown against Pacquiao in 3 fights. Now he suddenly gets 2 in 1 fight with the second one even more devastating?? At this point, no rational person can look at all of JMM's red flags and just chalk it all up as coincidence.

To be fair, I think Pac was suspect back in 2009 against Hatton and Cotto. Maybe even the De La Hoya fight, but it's hard to say coz Pac was in his absolute prime and Oscar was shot. With that said, Pac doesn't nearly have as many red flags as Marquez. And it is likely that once Floyd started accusing Pac back in 2010, he stopped because his performance thereafter slowly declined. Even all the Pac haters said this.

Once Roach made that statement about JMM, something like "I'll kiss his ass if he's clean", I think Roach, Pac & Ariza knew JMM was 100% dirty, yet they still fought him without random testing. It is rational to conclude that of the 4 epic fights, JMM (with Heredia) probably took PED's during their last 2 fights, whereas Pac was probably clean for all 4 of their fights. Bottom line....JUST PROPERLY TEST ALL THESE MOFOS!!

i want marquez to school danny garcia before he retires

This thread is hilarious. Manny and Marquez are great fighters, no debating that and anyone trying to argue that point does not know boxing. However, the PED speculation for both is over the top. Marquez is the more su****ious of the two. The proof is in the pudding. Marquez gets bigger and stronger with age. Manny seems to be declining. If Manny was on PEDS during his great run then how ironic he would get knocked senseless by another accused PED user. Karma is a b*tch. Without solid proof, then lets just enjoy these two greats up until they decide to hang up the gloves.

Marquez and his obese steroid making freak scientist need to leave boxing.
