[Nightfall]

since khan is ducking. brook is better off fighting berto,thurman,or maidana. marquez is old,and injured

If u really analyze boxing fairly well , pretty much everyone's top 6 at 147/154 in no specific order, should be Mayweather , Manny , Brook , Canelo , Kahn , Thurman . F..k an official ranking and f..k fighters who r smoke and mirrors and carry around the illusion of still being good like Cotto .

[SugarRaRobinson]

U can even make a case for Lara or Porter being in the top 6 replacing either Thurman or Kahn

Even if Marquez wasn't a cripple (now's your chance, Miguel) and on the verge of retirement, he'd still duck Brook due to pathological fear of dark-skinned fighters from the Ingle gym. One musn't forget his blatant ducking of Naseem Hamed all them years back.

If JMM did take PED's (which I suspect), he took the kind that helps build muscle mass/strength. I look at his larger trap muscles as proof.

I'm not a PED expert, but testosterone itself is the main anabolic steroid harmone the body produces. Anything related to building muscles, strength, and power is testosterone related,..and it can have affects on joints ESPECIALLY if you're training hard as a professional boxer.

Exercising/training coupled with PED use, increases the likelihood of joint pain/injury.

I train people who use all kinds of steroids on a daily basis. Testosterone, in any ester, does not cause joint and ligament damage, quite the opposite in fact.

Even if he was using other compounds, there are plenty others to prevent joint problems.

Age and years of training will be the main reason for his injury problems.

I believe the effect of much greater strength from steroid use, is the catalyst for joint problems. People on the juice are much stronger than they would normally be. As a result, they are capable of lifting very heavy weights. Despite the great strength gains, the tendons and joints still have limits and will ultimately suffer damage from repeated heavy lifting.

Yep Marquez let's have it! Marquez gets one last shot at the welterweight crown and Brook fights a top name, good fight f*** Khan the little b****.

[SUBZER0ED]

Brook wants Marquez strictly because he KO'd the #2 fighter in the world in Pacquiao. It also doesn't hurt that Juan's smaller and over 40. If Kell truly wants to be credible, he needs to fight a top five young opponent here in the States. I'd also like to know that Brook is submitting to random PED testing, as he looked mighty buff against Dan.

Brilliant

It's about actual rankings.

Not bs org rankings who nobody cares about.

Unless it is their belts right?

[LacedUp]

Rankings r hogwash , everyone knows Marquez is pretty washed up now . Pleas don't predicate the validity of ur post on rankings ! Wasn't JoJo Dan ranked fairly high ?

No he wasn't and he certainly wasn't ranked in the top 4 of his division Which Marquez is both by Ring and by TBRB.

Unless it is their belts right?

Nobody cares about any org rankins! Give me one example of when I have ever used such ridiculous and unsound logic to back up anything.

but you just used WBO who have the worst rankings of all to justify Khan's fight against a completely washed up MAB.

Marquez is a RING and TBRB top 4 WW.
