Comments Thread For: Juan Manuel Marquez-Kell Brook Eyed By Eddie Hearn

[kombayn]

I guarantee you that the fight would probably take place at The Forum in Inglewood, CA. I highly doubt that Juan Manuel Marquez would fly over to England to make the fight, it doesn't make sense and I wouldn't want a British referee or 2/3's of the judges being from Europe. Put the fight in the United States, ideally in Las Vegas but I think The Forum would be an excellent choice to stage the fight. We fight fans in SoCal know who Kell Brook is after defeating Shawn Porter at the StubHub Center in Carson, CA.

JMM hasn't beaten anybody above 140 besides PAC. Alvarado would be his other best win but that's not saying much since Mike's confidence was only recovering from his previous beatdown.

Let's just say Alvarado would be hard pressed to beat any of these guys below. Who does JMM beat on this list. I'd say Porter, Alexander, Khan. But nothing for sure. PAC is 50/50.

Floyd
PAC
Bradley
Brook
Khan
Guerrero
Maidana
Porter
Thurman
Alexander

I am interested in this, make it happen. Marquez gets that title shot he wants so badly too.

I don't know about this fight, sure i would love to see it...BUT, would Bob Arum be willing to put one of his fighters in a risky fight against someone from another promotional company?...My guess is that Bob's main mission is to make PacMarquez V, wich would be totally BS imo.

LOL @ Pac-Marquez V would be total BS... They had 4 classic fights..and Pac was winning the last fight before one-shot KO... Tell me why the fight is BS again?

Why would JMM duck Khan so many times but want to fight Brook? What am I missing? JMM usually matches himself pretty carefully, so what is it about Brook that has him so interested? He must think he is vulnerable to his style, but I dont see it so obviously.

I can see why he wouldn't want to fight someone like Khan, but I don't see him having success with Brook either. Brook isn't a great boxer, but he's still fairly sharp, and very strong so he should be good enough to see off JMM.

We've seen JMM embarrassed by fighters who don't fight on the front foot, which is why he rarely fights them. And I guess Brook doesn't really move his head, and is mostly a come forward guy, but he can box enough to just stay away from the counter.

JMM on the PED's probably believes that he can catch Brook with a big shot, wobble him, and finish it off.

Let the winner fight Pacquiao in a unification and the winner fights Floyd for WW supremacy. (Dreams doe)

marquez vs brook could very well be a snoozefest.

[sugarsmosley]

winner fights manny? ........... i say fck it that should happen even if jmm wins..

[-Kev-]

horrible horrible business, boxing, and legacy decision by marquez.

he is going to get dominated and beaten by a lesser fighter and get less money as oppose to getting more money, more legacy, and more importantly a higher chance of winning vs pacquiao as oppose to kell brook.

kell brook will dominate marquez worse than what bradley did to him.

I agree with you except for the part where Bradley dominated Marquez. He was going around raising his hand after landing a meaningless jab. He sold a win to the judges but he didn't dominate Marquez. The fight was close. One judge gave it Marquez 115-113, another judge to Bradley 113-115. The fight was close and I can't believe how people try to change that now. Marquez outlanded TB 116-86 in power punches and it showed in the fight. Bradley outlanded Marquez in jabs and I guess people love that nowadays.

This is why I like you Kev, you don't distort the truth and tell it how it is.

I'm tired of all this "Bradley dominated Marquez" talk, the only person who has dominated Marquez to date has been Mayweather. Marquez VS Bradley was a close and competitive fight, and JMM was coming on strong at the end besides him being off balance in the 12, an instance which has been completely exaggerated by Marquez haters.

I think he still just wants that 5th title...as if he couldn't just fight Pacquiao for it.
