Comments Thread For: Marquez Once Again Rejects Pacquiao, Explains His Reasons

[madsweeney]

There is no such thing as a lucky punch, these dudes are professionals, HoFers who have over 50 fights experience, Marquez saw Pacquiao rushing to him, so he set up a straight right counter.

WTH you talking about, only thing that can come close to a lucky punch is when you throw something and you ain't watching at your target. Every punch has some intention on it, but that thing doesn't exist. PERIOD

Lucky not in that he knew what/where to throw it but lucky in the result. Over 4 fights, that same punch landed dozens of times and never dazed, let alone KTFO, Pac before. Was a beutiful shot but lets not play like JMM will always land and KOpPac with that punch.


I don't blame JMM for not wanting the fight, just last week he said Pac shouldn't fight Floyd again because he'll just lose. Guess JMM isn't confident he would win again against Pac.

Pacquiao was shoving Marquez's S h i t upon his arse when M got lucky.

Manny was clearly winning that fight.
Marquez is a *****.

Ok, I got your point now, well maybe in that sense yeah it kind of was a lucky punch, he sent him to sleep in an ugly way.

At this stage in my humble opinion Marquez can't beat Pacquiao, with all that inactivity and the athleticism of Pacquiao, I think Pacquiao could stop Marquez, he knows it and he won't risk that 4th fight KO for a KO against himself on a 5th fight, it's not worth it to him.

Pacquiao vs Mayweather II? I think Mayweather does the same to him that he did on their first fight, I don't see any point in making a rematch, plus Floyd always looks better in rematches.

Manny Plankuiao was knocked out almost 4 years ago and that event has scarred the Philippine nation for generations to come....Marquez and pac had their battles but Marquez won the war...Every time Boxing Scene writes articles about Marquez the Philippinos flip out and it is pretty wild to read the comments.

Even if Marquez loses a fifth fight that KO is not going to go away. It was a thing of beauty how Marquez timed him. Marquez already had knocked him down with the same shot earlier in the fight.

Noooooo the earlier knockdown was from Marquez switched from a body punch to head mid-swing

lets just say manny won that 4th fight, do you really believe pac will walk away without giving marquez a rematch AGAIN? dont kid yourself, this is the same guy that fought morales 3 times, barrera 2 times, fought bradley 3 times and fought marquez 4 times. if pac would have won and marquez was crying for a rematch i believe manny will fight him again. all those fights with marquez were close, even that 4th fight up until the ko was close. a lot would even agree that pac was on his way to stopping marquez.

no he wouldn't have,,he said himself it was the last time they would fight,pac just got gifts in the other fights,thats it and that's why he felt he had to fight him,

[Verus]

why is marquez acting like he dominated pac from the start? he is saying that the fight wasnt close. um, the fight was close up until the knock out and most agree that pac was actually on his way to stopping you. i get it that he doesnt want to give manny a rematch because he knocked manny out but dont be saying that the fight wasnt close to warrant a rematch.

It did look as though Manny was going to knock Marquez out, but he got careless. I give Marquez credit for 2 things: 1) he kept his cool while getting battered and delivered the perfect punch, 2) another fight between these two is not necessary.

You guys are crazy...the man damn-near killed manny, and you want this man to die? for your entertainment?, look at that pic, manny didnt purposely leave his left leg in the air while out on his face...He was dead, dead, dead! Leave manny alone, he's took enough punishment, He damn-near got killed by his biggest rival (JMM) and he got taken to school in the biggest fight ever in boxing (fmj ie tbe), you guys are masochists.

He makes a valid point at the end and JMM really took that 3rd fight personally but who wouldn't? It still bothers him I can tell. He sounds like he can't be purchased, but Pac did have a chance when Marquez said he wants 50-50 for a 5th fight and Pac/Arum said no, now JMM just plain out says no. I really believe JMM is so satisfied with that 4th fight, that he's exhausted by the thought of fighting Pacquiao again after what happened in the trilogy. It's a good move by JMM, just let that KO sit in Pac's head for the rest of his career, just like those first 3 fights are sitting in JMM's head

Damn, piss off already JMM.
