Comments Thread For: Marquez Admits Fear of Robbery in Fifth Pacquiao Bout

[Damn Wicked]

Marquez got his biggest claim to fame for KO'ing Pacman so I can understand how he doesn't want to fight again and risk losing and looking bad. He doesn't seem to have much faith in his ability to beat Pac decisively if he won't do a fifth fight with him. Especially considering there's no other fight that will provide him anywhere near such a huge purse.

[Damn Wicked]

I think he won the other fights but it's pretty clear Marquez would cry robbery even if he lost. He did it against Bradley when it was a clear Bradley win.

Yeah, Bradley made Marquez look far less than stellar in that fight. Clear win for Timmy.

I said this before. If Marquez had retired, cool. Enjoy your retired life.

The thing is that Marquez begged to fight Manny and Manny could have done what Marquez did but did not.


Now the first time that the tables are turned, Marquez says "No fight". What?

No, it was always " Marquez beat Pacquiao twice ".



Then, this one came out.....

So you are agreeing that Marquez begged that he didn't lose so he deserves rematch #2, #3 and #4

Then

Does not give a rematch to Manny? Not cool.

I'm one of NBS minority who scored the 3rd fight for Pacquiao.

None of the fights were 'robberies', they were all close fights. And after the 4 fight the saga was under-lined.

Of course Pac/Marquez 3 wasn't a robbery - only biased people who disagreed with the decision called it that. I had it 115-113 Pacquiao (and I was at the fight) but the fight could've certainly been scored either way. Lederman had it 116-112 Pacquiao. The unoffical press count I've seen had 57 scoring it for Marquez, 51 scoring it for Pacquiao, and 36 scoring it a draw (http://boxrec.com/media/index.php/Ma...z_(3rd_meeting)) and I believe the CompuBox stats favored Pac so I'm not sure how you call it a "robbery" when it was reasonable to score it either way...

Even Jinkee knows that Pac lost the 3rd fight with Marquez

Fear of being caught and beaten by Pacquiao cause he will be watched not fear of robbery.

that's nsb for you. It wasn't so clear cut with the boxing writers. Notice both cliff and jake had it for pac, and rick reeno had it a draw:

Yep, i hear ya mate.

None of the above scores for Marquez or the draws are from Mexican media/boxers.
None of the above scores for Pacquiao or the draws are from Philippine media/boxers.
Among the unofficial scorers above, 57 scored the bout for Marquez, 51 scored the bout for Pacquiao, and the remaining 36 scored the bout a draw.

He got robbed so horribly in that third fight, why would he fight Pacquiao again? Theyre going to do everything possible to give Pacquiao that storybook redemption victory.

Marquez's victory was one of the most insane wins of the era, **** maybe any era. Dude needs to go out on his own terms, no 5th fight.
