Comments Thread For: Marquez: Pacquiao Should've Withdrew From Floyd Fight

[JJRod]

"Money" has just claimed he doesn't want a rematch which would be worth at least twice as much as any other fight he takes so I don't really buy that line of logic.

Don't know it it would be twice as much as say a fight with Khan in the fall.
A fight with Khan not only would bring in a lot of English fans, but many fans who would like to see Mayweather's farewell fight.
Now May/Pac 2 might sell a bit more, but I doubt it would be twice as much.

Before the fight, Mayweather met Pacquiao face to face and told him off like a naughty child for lying. Team Pacquiao admitted it, stopped lying and the fight was made.

Mayweather is telling Pacquiao again to stop lying, give credit where it's due (like a decent person would) and he might have a chance at a rematch. Pacquiao will have to come to Mayweather like Oliver Twist with his begging bowl or he can carry on being an excuse maker and fight in Macau in a rematch with Luke Perry (Algeri).

injured or not. it'll be the same rusult. pacquiao just is'nt good,nor smart enough to beat mayweather. with the taxes he owes. no way he withdraws. all that he's delivered into my hands,smiling at the weighin,and taking selfies on the way to the ring crap justifies the sore loser tag.

Not only that if the shoulder injury was true he wouldn't have it in the position he has it in that picture. His arm would had been dangling down

Sorry, but do you have any medical experience to make this claim?

What you are saying is Manny suffered a complete rupture. He did not, he torn it, there is a difference.

I don't know how many times I have to say it. I do not buy that the shoulder injury had any influence on the fight. Did that go in?



Even if that's accurate, and I'm sceptical, Pacquiao needed surgery and 4-6 months to heal. Floyd fights May/September, and he has shown those dates are everything to him, so when was the fight going to take place?

Why are you skeptical of that. Do you want to read the fight contract in its entirety to be convinced. Manny entered the ring, whatever pain he was feeling that's his problem. If Derrick Rose plays hurt, do you think the opposing team takes it easy on him.

His injury, his pain, his problem. Hes a grown ass man. Mayweather victory still legit, whatever he wants to cry about, i dont wanna hear it. He lost convincingly and its no doubt who the superior boxer was.

[DeadLikeMe]

Either way, Manny is a scumbag who lied to his fans bilking them out of money.

i dont blame floyd for changing his mind on the rematch one bit and anyone who thinks he changed his mind cause hes scared is ridiculous get real. the fact pac man cant even admit mayweather won in the fight and has excuse after excuse on why he lost in stead of just giving mayweather credit is honestly pathetic. anyone who dont hate mayweather or love pac there is no way a truly bias person can blame floyd one bit for changing his mind. pac does not deserve a rematch with the way hes been acting not to mention before the fight pac and roach made it perfectly clear if they win there will be no rematch no matter what. I completely understand manny fans want redemption but the reality is he does not deserve it. Mayweather is now the king of this generation of boxing period. No excuses injuries lies will change that. as much as i would like to see mayweather whoop manny ass again i am almost certain that not only will pac once again say he thinks he won im certain there will be yet another excuse

Former four division world champion Juan Manuel Marquez believes Manny Pacquiao should have postponed his fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr. to the fall.

Last Saturday night, Pacquiao lost a twelve round unanimous decision to Mayweather at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

Marquez had fought Pacquiao four times, with their last ending with the Mexican veteran gaining a sixth round knockout victory. Like Pacquiao, he lost a twelve round decision to Mayweather in 2009.

Pacquiao revealed after the contest that he entered the match with an injured right shoulder. He attempted to get an anti-inflammatory shot before the contest, but his request was denied by the Nevada Commission.

JMM is right, but then again Manny wouldn't have had an excuse for losing.

[ramses07]

manny probably didnt want to leave the highest pay day he's had (thats assuming the injury is real)

still doesnt excuse him for not knowing how to adjust to clinching and cutting the ring off

canelo and kirkland will be the perfect chaser for that crappy fight last week.

[Liondw]

I really don't now much about shoulder injuries, but it's been said that if you have a major torn rotator cuff, then there is no way that Pacquaio could have raised his arm as he did at the end of the fight, or even throw some of those punches he threw. Check the replay.
