Comments Thread For: Juan Manuel Marquez Hits Back at Erik Morales Over Pacquiao Jabs

Morales ducked Marquez. Plain and simple

Morales was fighting top level competition in his 20s and Marquez was farting around fighting nobodies. Morales ducked nobody.

Wait a DAMN minute!!

I don't want to be too arrogant but nobody gave me a boxing lesson," Morales explained to Fox Deportes.

Terrible, you's a GOTdamn lie.

September 2005, right after you beat Manny. Zahir" King" Raheem gave you a straight up boxing lesson like I'd never seen before. The NEXT MF'n fight! How do you forget that ass whooping you received from the King??

Because it wasn’t as asswhooping. It’s was a game of tag.

JMM was a cheat ask Memo the genius.

[pasawayako]

They are equal in every way.

Pac has 2 wins over morales
Pac has 2 wins over jmm
Pac has knockdown morales 5x
Pac has knockdown jmm 5x

These two mexican legends should settle it in the ring to see who is better between them..

With Tyson and Holyfield training to get in the ring again, at ages 53 and 57 respectively, it seems like the timing is very good indeed, for Marquez and Morales to get in shape and settle this disageeement in the ring. Especially since neither one is anywhere near the age of Tyson or Holyfield, and could still bring a credible performance to the ring is they wanted to sacrifice and get in fighting shape. As a fan, I support this fight 100%, because i've always wanted to see it and I always felt like Marquez was avoided for a long time before he started to finally be recognized. I'm sure Marquez stays in good shape as he has always seemed like a disciplined fighter. I only wonder what kind of shape Erik Morales can get in, because he has gained a noticeable amount of weight in his retirement. Because of this, I'm afraid Morales would be severely punished if these two met in the ring. The other thing is, in 64 fights, no one has ever stopped Marquez or even come close. Even times when Pacquiao put him down, he just got up and fought even harder. Erik, I love you for the career you gave us. I advise you to stay talking behind the keyboard where it's a lot safer. Marquez is too sturdy and I think he'll hit your cabesa really hard. But if you're still the warrior I've always admired, I have a feeling you'll wanna show Marquez who is boss. Then we will all see what we should have seen, but were deprived of many years ago!!

I disagree with one of Marquez' statements: "I was never schooled by anyone".

I think he really was schooled by Mayweather.

[RuleOfTheSpear]

I would put my money on Morales.

He never lost his first fights.

His first fight in a trilogy with Barrera he won.

His first fight in a trilogy with Pacquiao he won.

He schooled Maidana. He schooled Danny Garcia in the first fight.

I think he loses motivation in his rematches because he felt he already conquered them. What's the point of doing it again?

You better believe it Morales will take the heat to Marquez.

Marquez doesn't have anymore knees, the steroids messed up his knees too much. He sacrificed a lot just to get that hail Mary punch in
