Comments Thread For: Marquez Warns Pacquiao To Avoid Jose Luis Castillo Fate

[b Murphington]

I saw pac interview saying after watching 2 maidana fights, he already saw floyd's greatest weakness, while smiling confidently. Said that's what they will be working on and part of it is to increase his speed and mobility, that's why he plays basketball.

When pac acts like that, he's opponent will get annihilated... Floyd's 0 will go.

It's great that he has a plan, cuz I didn't really think he was gonna have a solid gameplan laid out. But Mike Tyson said it best, "Everyone has a plan until they get punched." We'll see what happens, cuz every other Floyd victim had a plan too.

Actually a slim majority of press row had Mayweather winning the 1st Castillo fight (including the AP). Look it up, but naw they won't because it's the only thing they can find solace in with respect to Mayweather's career.

I see what Marquez is saying. He's simply saying it's better to take things into your own hands if you get tbe chance.

No doubt the Castillo/Mayweather fight was close (watched it dozens of times). But the fact is in boxing, you have to win more rounds to win a fight, not always land more punches (which you could do in 5 rounds and still lose the other 7). As for the performance, well Algeri won his title in a "performance like his" and it didn't matter to some when he became worthy Pacquiao opponent. Ray Leonard won against Hagler etc. (As IronDan pointed out). You may not like it, but that's the nature of the sport we love. You win more rounds, you win a fight and the scoring subjective within set criteria (bias lends fans a hand too). Fights that are razor close are only a robbery to the guy who loses.

JMM is irrelevant in this fight, he's on Peds when he fought Pac III & IV.

Yes floyd victims all had a plan but they don't have the talent or heart to execute it. In pac's case, i'm confident he have it and he can do it.

PEDnamita should STFU. He is irrelevant semi retired, while Pacquiao and Floyd is about to make Boxing History.

Irrelevant ? U obviously don't know the meaning of the word . Good try though .

Just can't see Manny knocking out Floyd, I could see Manny hurting Floyd and putting him in almost complete defensive mode and if Floyd were to get the win then roll on the September rematch.Judges see what they see.Once your'e on the amateur boxing circuit in the uk and witness some dire decisions there it does make life a little easier to move on.I do think this fight will be full of drama and be close enough to warrant a rematch. Manny off to a flyer but running in to big counters down the stretch !

I love the butt hurt in this thread.


"But Castillo didn't win doeeeeeee "

[radiotracer]

Former four division world champion Juan Manuel Marquez has advised his former foe, WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao, to do everything in his power to avoid the possibility of allowing the unification with WBC/WBA champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. to go to the scorecards. The fight is taking place on May 2nd from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

Marquez saw his countryman, Jose Luis Castillo, as the rightful winner over Mayweather in 2002 when they fought at the MGM Grand. The judges saw it otherwise, and scored the bout unanimously for Mayweather.

easier said than done. Floyd has a tremendous defense with a granite chin.
