Why Pacquiao will not fight Marquez in 2011
December 31st, 2010
by Francisco Hernandez: Future boxing writers will not remember Manny Pacquiao for any boxing greatness, because time will give them the perspective to realize how ordinary he really is. Of course today’s main stream media gives Pacquiao all kinds of accolades, how he is so nice, and his accomplishments in government, etc, but they are usually speaking of Pacquiao as a person and not as a boxer. The boxing media is strangely also beholden to Pacquiao, though this should not be a surprise if you take into account that they are probably being paid by someone who has some interest in Pacquiao, or they don’t have the least idea of how tell the difference between real fights and stacked fights.
With his Bobby-Soxer following Pacquiao will never need to fight another legitimate opponent. Manny Pacquiao’s ability to empty pockets will last until the Bobby Soxers are no longer interested, by that time he may already be retired. True boxing fans have been thrown under the bus, sacrificed for the sake of the fickle Bobby Soxers who will tune out of boxing as soon as Pacquiao is gone. That is the way things are.
After the last fight with Juan Manuel Marquez, Manny Pacquiao whose face looked like he had been in a cage with a tiger, was asked whether he would give Marquez a rematch, Manny being his simple self and unscripted answered that he was through fighting these types of fights. Manny has made good on his promise not to be in those types of fights.
Juan Manuel Marquez is an old fighter by boxing standards; he is 37 years old, an age when most fighters have long retired. It is a testament to the greatness of Marquez’s boxing skills that he has been able to prolong his boxing career so long; he is a brilliant technical boxer. Marquez probably has one more year 2011 before age starts to take a toll on him that his skills will not counter. This is the year 2011 that a legitimate fight between Marquez and Pacquiao should be made. It is highly doubtful that fight will be made, unless Marquez is 39 or 40 years old and has no more reflexes left. Manny Pacquiao has been known for his fights against shot fighters but he has a hit a new low in choosing to fight boxing senior citizen Shane Mosley. This could be the next strategy for Pacquiao’s team, wait until great fighters turn 39 or 40, and then beat the hell out of them. Bobby Soxers will be up in a roar, swaying back and forth, humming the Pacquiao tune.

PBF and Marquez are of the same caliber… claim of greatness by lying to their teeth and asking ridiculous demands.
Eight million reasons for sure.

Pacquiao will fight Marquez 2011 after losing to Morales.
Pacquiao loves to fight losers and leftovers!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
UNFORTUNATELY, Marquez is already Pacquiao’s LEFTOVER and that is why Mayweather chose to fight Marquez… LMAO!!!
Pacquiao will fight Marquez 2011 after losing to Morales.
Pacquiao loves to fight losers and leftovers!
What don’t you understand? Marquez already fought Pacquiao twice. The first one was a draw despite the fact that Marquez went down 3 times in the first round. One of the judges scored it erroneously and even acknowledged the error. Otherwise, the decision would have been in favor of Pacquiao. The second fight in which Marquez went down again, was a close one but the judges ruled that Pacquiao won. Marquez is still fighting at 130-135 lbs while Pacquiao has gone up in weight and fights at 147 lbs to 151 lbs. We have seen what happened to Marquez when he tried fighting at welter weight. He was fat and slow and was embarassed. He did not even win a single round. On the other hand, Pacquiao demolished all his opponents at higher weights from Hatton, De La Hoya, Cotto, Clottey and Margarito. Now with this, do you really think Marquez will have a good chance of defeating Pacquiao at 147 lbs? You must be dreaming. You need to be more realistic.
The author’s point is very shallow and instead took a lousy swipe on Manny’s casual fans that drive’s pacquiao’s fanbase to the roof. What would you say about Ali, Jordan, Woods, Magic, Bird, Lance and Agassi’s casual fans. Those legendary athletes didn’t fade away because their casual fans faded as well or lost interests. Instead, sport historians and hard core fans will note that these athletes were phenomenal during their reign due to their abilities to attract both hard core and casual fans. You probably didn’t hear Foreman, Frazier, Hagler, Hollified, even Dana White and others were amazed on what Manny can do in boxing and his personal aspiration.
If you keep lobbying for Pacquiao v. Marquez, lobby for Marquez to fight in the welterweight instead of possible fight Morales. Marquez not taking up the challenge to move up is the dagger to his legacy. Here’s how the history will remember them: Manny was successful in moving up to upper divisions. However, Marquez lagged behind from his fierce competitor! Besides, Manny is targeting african-american fighters now if you also missed Hopkins’ unsolicited ads.
he scared to fight marquez cus he and his team no that marquez going for the kill and they dont want pac girl to lose any more
That’s right! Some credible source told me they received an e-mail from the Pacquiao camp stating that they are afraid to fight Marquez. lol
Because Pac knows the record wil be set straight and thats why he wont face Marquez
@trevor graham, can you check Paquiao record how many ex champion he fought and won the fight, if you compare Floyd againts Manny no one will believe you ‘coz you only wrote one side…..
Trevor Graham!!! i told you just stick in you job as a clown!!! your knowlegde is not sport its comedy!!!!!!
If Marquez ktfo Berto in 1st half of 2011, then Pacquiao is in the 2nd half of 2011.
Tony Atlas and Floyd fans are the whole boxing fraternity? Dude you’re seriously brainwashed eh? Now Morales was weight drained? Please guy before ODLH Pacquiao had no clout. He was an Asian fighter ina Mexican world to even question his Featherwieght years is taking it a little fight.
Like I said before the second Cstillo fight Floyd took on all comers after that it’s not so clear. He also fought differently before that fight and only did enough to win after it.
Look at the fights watch them. Especially the ODLH fight that was a rematch no one wanted to watch again, because of its nature.
Look you’re a FMJ fan and I respect that and you’ll never change but 20 years from now FMJ won’t have the resume or record to make mark even if he is undefeated.
And, hatton was nearly ko’d in his comeback fight after mayweather beat him up over ten rnds.. The mayweather loss finished him. Whether u like it or not.. In time, manny will not be classes as an all time great, neither will mayweather. But outta the 2, mayweather is better..
I’m out, -PEACE!!
no you wont remeber Francisco Hernandez
but RING MAGAZINE will and record books
authors are the only ones that count
you already knew this
but was hoping no one would mention it
keep it real
now
Hatton two wins in a row, as well as Cotto. Please and Morales was beaten twice not just once and ODLH chose Pacquiao not the other way around. Pacquiao was only known to boxing fans when ODLH chose to fight him, and don’t discount the fact that Manny turned down Golden Boy and stayed with Top Rank wasn’t Oscar’s motivation for that fight.
Did you think Manny would beat ODLH? Did you think he would KTFO of Hatton? Please ask the experts. Ask Thomas Hauser or Al Bernstein or any credible boxing writer.
Trust me Dave Lahr and Chris Williams and Francisco Hernandez are wannabe writers.
Seriously look it up.
1. The Morales wins cannot be described as “great” in any sense. This is because Morales was completely dominated by Zahir Raheem in the fight prior. Losing every round. He was clearly finished but Pacquiao never showed any interest in fighting the winner and instead picked Morales a division below where Raheem gave him a boxing lesson. What’s even more interesting about the fight is that it was turning out exactly the same as the first one until Erik’s legs gave out from the weight drain. How that can be called a “great win” is beyond me.
2. People say “World champion doesnt mean the best” but it’s the most clear identification of a fighter’s skill level. I don’t know any other fighter who has beaten 15 world champions right now. Larios and Solis are both average fighters. Larios had to move up 2 divisions to face Pacquiao and was KO’d in 3rounds in his previous fight by Israel Vasquez. Solis still hasnt won a belt.
3. Hatton’s IBO belt may have counted as a “world title” but in reality nobody takes the IBO titles seriously. The WBC belts are the most important. No matter how you try and twist the situation, Floyd has beaten 6 more world champions. And it should be 7 because Marquez clearly beat Pacquiao in the second fight.
& the whole boxing fraternity is questioning pacquiao’s truthfullness with steroids.
So Floyd dominating De La Hoya, Hatton and Mosley when they were all coming off impressive wins somehow translates into “embarrassing” yet Pacquiao fighting Morales after he lost every round to Zahir Raheem, and Hatton, Cotto and Margarito after they were all brutally KO’d is perfectly justified? Your hate just doesn’t make any sense at all.
Trevor were those guys the best out there when he fought them? Judah after a loss. Hatton was a JWW when he fought him at WW. There were a few WW fighters that deserved to fight him then including Mosley.
Carlo Rotella wrote in The New York Times, “There are good welterweight boxers to fight, and Mayweather isn’t fighting them. Even when he does deign to box, he has been taking big money fights against relatively easy opponents. At some point, his refusal to fight other top welterweights begins to undercut his claim to superlative greatness as a boxer, and the cachet of Mayweather’s brand rests on that claim.”
Dude the whole boxing community questioned his choices after Castillo 2.
Look it up look up the ww rankings before he “retired”.
He beat Mosley before he was shot.. Fight was bout 5 yrs ago..
Sorry, Floyd ha beaten 15 past-present world champions… and 3 of his last fights have been wins against top 10 p4p boxers. No other boxer has done that in a row..
Riggy if Cotto was shot how did he beat Mosley, a Mosley none the less that beat a loaded Margo? Please buddy like I said when Manny wasn’t mainstream he beat the best in front of him. FMJ retired and didn’t give ODLH a rematch and OScar not Manny looked for a stepping stone to amp his profile again and no one gave Pacquiao a chance.
Sure the haters will point out the fight was at 147 and he was weight drained, but even still Manny gave ODLH the worst beating in his career.
Say what you want about Ricky being shot, but please can a fighter really be shot after being TKO’d by the brittle hands that Floyd has? Ricky had 2 JWW titles and was at the top oi the P4P food chain. And yes boxing experts determine that not hacks like you and me. Hatton only had one loss and was coming off of two wins before the Pacquiao fight and 140 was his optimum weight.
Cotto only had one loss too and he was the WBO WW champ. Please guy other than FMJ every prize fighter at the top has lost at least once. One loss does not make you shot. Please buddy even Al Bernstein puts Manny as an all time great after the Cotto fight.
Be real with what you blurt out dude. I’ll give you the last fight sure Margo was a paper vacant title, but Manny only weight what 147 the night of the fight. The 154 lb title was a paper belt grab and to say Martinez is a good fight to take is ludicrous. I’d love to watch that fight too, but come on man.
What I said was Martinez was losing the fight and yes the knock is the knock out of the year, and yes Martinez is the fighter of the year, but to discredit Pacquiao because of the Mosley fight be real man.
Mosley is not shot. He wasn’t shot before the FMJ fight was he?
Manny is the top dog accept it dude. He’s fighting Mosley and making 25Million plus because he can dude.
Stop pushing Martinez no one really thinks that fight should happen for real.
Bradley, Berto or Marquez should be next, unless of course by some miracle FMJ wants to fight.
If he doesn’t fight one of those guys after Mosley I’ll cry foul too.
Floyd has beaten 18 past-present world champions…
Bro are you serious with your following comment “outside of Martinez’ amazing knockout punch, he wasn’t dominating Williams”… damn what more does a man have to do to be dominating I mean Martinez only delivered the “KO of the year” on a fighter that Manny wanted no part of (Paul Williams)….. If that’s not great what is… And for the record you and everyone else in the world knows Margacheato is not the same without cement hands…… as for your claim that Bradley has yet to prove he can beat the very top of the WW food chain. Neither has Manny Paquiao… Ricky Hatton was shot (Everyone knows that) and Manny did not fight anyone else at 140lb…. wow what a champion at 140lb….Don’t worry though Bradley will clean up the mess Manny refused to clean….. then hopefully Manny will fight him… look I think Manny Pacquiao is extremely talented but some of his claims are a joke….. If he’s a champion at 154lb why doesn’t he go fight Martinez at 154lb who was the champ there but had to go to 160lb because no one wanted to fight him at 154lb. Pacquiao is a champ at 154 isn’t he?? (Paquiao attained the belt after beating Margacheato who only fought once at the weight against a bum named Robert Garcia and after he’d just been KO’d by Mosley )Please answer me this “Truth Tella”: why is Paquiao fighting Sugar shot Mosley at 40 years old….. come on man who’s next for Manny; Trinidad? You can honestly tell me that Mosley is the best fighter available to fight Pacquiao. No way my friend….. Bob Arum is gonna milk the gravy train as long as he can and maybe one good boxer will get a chance at Manny, However im not holding my breath for that because I’ve seen no indications.
Floyd ha beaten 18 past-present world champions…
Oh yeah Riggy I’ll give you the last title, but the other 9, learn a thing or two, it’s 10 titles in 8 weght classes, are legit even if I give you back the lightweight title Manny won he still has fought more Hall of Famers than anyone you can mention.
Barrera, Morales and De La Hoya are future HOF. How many has Floyd beaten?
Riggy come bring it test my knowledge and let the truth set you free.
Riggy did you forget that Margarito Ko’s Martinez or does your wanna be boxing guru memory fail you?
To clarify I took Martinez out of the picture because he is naturally too big? he’s never fought below 154lbs.
Bradley is a JWW, and has yet to prove he can beat Devon Alexander let alone the very top of the WW food chain.
Cotto should fight Martinez and yes Martinez is the fight of the year, but in all honesty outside of the amazing knockout punch, he wasn’t dominating Williams, and he lost round 1.
So go pray that Floyd wins his court case so he can fight Manny, and please I don’t buy Manny’s Cd’s my Tito Jun burns them for me.
Once again I love article, I hope it will bring more attention to what boxing should be. The following statement is from the blogger; “Truth Tella” aka ‘I own Manny Paquiao’s latest smash hit CD” aka “I sip the bob arum juice “: “ the guys you mention (Sergio Martinez and Timothy Bradley: who Manny Pacquiao wants no part of) cant beat Pacquiao’s latest competition in Clottey, Cotto or Margo. Lastly all you guys can keep hating, but the truth will always be out there. You all just need to let it set you free!”…. That statement is a joke. Who is Cotto fighting next …….. Ricardo Mayorga whos record is: won 29 (KO 23) + lost 7 (KO 4) and has not beaten a good opponent in 7 years…. Margacheato who has not looked anywhere as good as before since his “hand wrap incident” your telling me Sergio Martinez who is by most accounts the fighter of the year, could not KO either one of these dudes? Btw… Cotto was offered the fight with Martinez but refused, (why?????) … Seriously after Mosley who’s next on Pacqiao’s list: Roy Jones Jr. for a “vacant” middleweight title….. Wow that would be 9 paper titles… as long as morons like Truth Tella keep supporting this garbage it can be a reality . . . . . . .smh at thought
Riggy are you a real boxing fan with knowledge?
He is making the right fights because he wants to make the fight with Mayweather happen. If he loses then we all lose the Mega Fight. No doubt he would beat Bradley or Marquez again.
Please if you know boxing you know Manny is a different fighter then he was pre Marquez 2.
Martinez has never fought below 154lbs. Please keep it real. Cotto is still a ranked welterweight so calling him shot is really a stretch plus he beat Mosley.
Other than FMJ fighters who get in the ring enough lose man, doesn’t mean that they are shot. Was Ali undefeated? Leonard or Duran? Hearns or Hagler? Sugar ray Robinson?
Please guy Mosley is the same fighter before he fought Mayweather. Not the sexiest match up, but the best. In reality your logic would also apply to Mayweather not fighting Berto instead of Mosley.
Grow up and accept it you need to have done something to fight the top dog. Bradley needs to at the very least beat Alexander, and Berto needs another fight against a bigger name.
For all the talk Marquez could have made a statement, but in case you didn’t hear he’s going to fight Erik Morales? Isn’t that a more useless fight than Mosley?
All this talk and this fight isn’t until May 7th.
Here are the facts Manny Pacquiao is the consensus P4P champ. I don’t think any of the guys you mention beat Pacquiao’s latest competition in Clottey, Cotto or Margo. Lastly all you guys can keep hating, but the truth will always be out there. You all just need to let it set you free!
Again as I said before “ Pacquiao fans are blind to see anything other than “his greatness” (including facts)….. If Pacquiao really wants to be one of the greatest fighters of all time and claim that he captured the 135lb, 140lb and 154lb title’s he should get back in the ring and fight legit champions at those weight classes. . How come he wants no part of Sergio Martinez or timothy Bradley? Pacnatic and nissan’s comments are a straight joke….. How can anyone defend Pacquiao fighting a soon to be 40 year old Mosley who is coming off a shutout loss to Mayweather and a garbage fight against Sergio “ I”ve never fought anyone in my life” Mora ….. No Pactard can simply answer my question: How come Pacquiao wants no part of Sergio Martinez or timothy Bradley? 8 division titles are a joke at 3 (David Diaz (bum), Ricky Hatton (shot Fighter), Margacheato (coming off a ko loss to Mosley and a fight against Roberto Garcia, who????)…. Come on Pactards ….Pacquiao is good but stop sippin the juice.
Good article. Boxing fans with knowledge of the sport, not the so-called ‘casual fans’ identify and agree with this article.
Let Mayweather move up in weight (or down because he can come overweight anyways) and fight at catchweights and try to get 8 world titles in as many divisions. He should be able to be champion in 9 divisions to show that Pacquiao is just an ordinary boxer.
Is this guy related to Dave? Hey Isco, WTF man, what’s with the anti Pacman and being insistent on JMM? Im pretty sure there are 1000s of fans here that wanna see that fight but we aint the one makin this happen. Just dont insult Pacman by saying “ordinary” becuase he wouldn’t be a history in the making if he’s as you said an “ordinary” you A55 crack..lol..how many boxers do you know are holding as many titles as Pacman currently? As Arum or Roach said, JMM has to prove himself first by fighting legit 140 dudes (Clottey, Berto, etc.)..and if he beats these dudes then maybe he’ll get a shot at Pacman, but until then, all he can do is keep running his mouth that he “won” those last 2 fights that him and Pac had…I can see why he though he won that fight, because he got knocked down and thought that it was Pac that went down but then realized when the ref was counting in front of him..hahahah…
why you insist on Marquez to fight Pacquaio on a trilogy.. Marquez had alreadayb given the chanceed but he cant outpunch pacman & he was down 4 times in a row so what the used in seeing them again in the ring.. the same result Pac by decision or worse than that because Pac has improved a lot.. So my suggestion let’s see another fighter like Shane let’s see what he can do..
Why do you still insist Pacquiao to fight Marquez for the third time? Pacquiao already knocked down Marquez 4 times in their 2 fights. How many more you want to see?…and that was then when Pac was still as small as Marquez, he grew up tremendously in size and in power now and he able to beat those guys a lot bigger and stronger than him. Come on, don’t be so funny!
if marquez wants a fight with manny its very easy. get knocked his next fight then fight a nobody and win in terrible fashion. manny then will have no issue with giving him a fight.
@Lou so Marquez fighting Morales means what? Grab a clue buddy Manny was the Mexecutioner when those guys were at their prime. Where was Marquez? Please guy be real. Pacquiao had a trilogy with Morales remember or are you even a real boxing fan. Manny was a nobody and made his name battling Barrera and Morales considered the best at that time. Wow you’re just a wanna be expert. Do some studying before you speak,
Lmao I would like to see marquez move up to jr ww,ww & mw & fight clotty,cotto,hatton,margarita, de la hoya & mosley. Let’s see how far he gets he will probably end up brain dead. Pacquiao will be in the discussion with greats like ali,leonard & louis because of his mass appeal his political ties & the greatness he displayed in the ring. Cotto, barrara, de la hoya, mosley & plenty others will be a major part of boxing history & to have those names on your resume will go a long way especially when you defied the odds like pacquiao did.

It purely business and JMM wants to fight below 147. Let Marquez fight @ 147 and let’s see what will happen to Marquez. on the first place, JMM should go up since he wanted that fight very badly.
What Pacquiao will be remembered for:
Only fighter to get 8 titles probably ever
Boxer of the decade
Fighter of the year soon to be 3 times
Beating up way bigger guys
Having no fear
Boxer/Congressman at the same time
Huge endorsements with major brands ie Nike
And retiring Mayweather without throwing a single punch
This writer gives coward Pacquiao more courage than I do. I don’t see Pacquiao EVER giving Marquez another fight. When it comes down to it, the only reason Pacquiao fought Marquez was for his titles. Marquez defended his titles twice against Pacquiao, but Pacquiao has never defended his titles against Marquez. He knows better. He is scared. Pacquiao = the cowardly Lion.
oh and Boxer of the decade
I guess this writer knows something Ring Magazine, Sports Illustrated, ESPN, BWAA (Boxing Writers Association of America, CNN doesn’t. What people will remember is his 8 titles, 3 times fighter of the year, his no fear attitude when facing opponents and for single handidly reviving boxing from the brink of death and making it relevant again.
The saying that “the pen is stronger than the sword” does not apply to this article for sure. This article is pure garbage. Gosh, what an embarrassment this writer guy is. A real laughing stock.
I wonder what Chris, Dave and this new wannabe Francisco is going to write about when Pac retires? you guys are worse than Pactards lol.
hey you lou and riggy,do you have cataracts on your eyes or you might have a glaucoma when you watch pac fighting marques.first fight,marques was down 3x,and an error was admitted by a judge, even the great Ali says its pac won the bout.in rematch honestly it was really a close fight,in my own opinion if only marques was not knocked down,manny could have lost.knock downs counts a lot in judges scoreboards.and yet pac ability now was far different years back.the only fighter that can possibly dfeat pac is the stylish floy m.i reckon floyd is just too hesitant to face pac,to preserve his ZERO LOSS,AND HUMILIATION and thats a VERY FACT…..
PACHATERS are so stupid, Mosley and Marquez are almost the same age. Mosley is a real WW and Marquez is a LW. PACHATERS need to get a life and off their BS reasoning. Marquez has proven nothing in the WW division.
The wicked trinity has now resurrected. Chris, Dave and Francisco (in lieu of E. Perez death). These new breed of morons reign in spreading lies, hate and operate in pure ignorance.
@SEAN, THEN PACQUIAO SHOULD HAVE NO FEAR OF MARQUEZ…FIGHT THE MAN AT 140!!!
You can say that the Pacman Marquez fights were close, and Marquez might have won those. But, Manny was a raw unpolished fighter and Marquez could get a decisive victory over Manny. Now Manny is bigger, and a more polished fighter. Manny is 10 times the boxer he was then, and sadly Marquez is the same boxer he was. Only thing Marquez would get is a big payday and a loss.
sorry guys mr. hernandez is former student of david lahr and cris williams so what do you expect, this people can not accept and will not accept that manny pacquiao is the greatest fighter of all time simply because manny is an asian. after manny’s era in boxing this bunch of people will be lost in the boxing world because there’s no more to write. maybe its better for this people to write about president obama
hahahaha…cheers man..HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE.forget the boxing, let’s toast for the year 2011 and hope it’s gonna be a prosperous year for all the boxer and the fans.Remember those who have hate in their heart will have a heart attack….so cheers…Pac is now the darling of GOOGLE…14,000,000 sources, thank you guys
Hey fella, Marquez is nothing, think about yourself, do you think marquez can beat DLH, Hatton,Cotto,clottey & Margarito? come on man! Marquez is a second class fighter and it is proven he beat all those class B fighter. Pacquiao is the best of the best. so stop crying man!
For Manny’s next fight were currently in negotiation with Tito Trinidad; He draws well and makes the most financial sense. Tito’s been a great a champion at many different weight classes….This fight is for the fans!!! (aka my wallet)
I dont want to get beat up by Marquez again so I’m fighting old washed up guys.
You, Lahr and Williams have no favorite topics than bashing Paquiao. If you do not have anymore item to put food on your table just shut your %@!!&*** mouth, and think of something else you sensible in your lives.
I love this article!! I wont bother stating facts because Pacquiao fans are blind to see anything other than his “greatness”, (including facts)…. If Pacquiao really wants to be one of the greatest fighters of all time and claim that he captured the 135lb, 140lb and 154lb title’s he should get back in the ring and fight legit champions at those weights. Everyone knows Hatton, David Diaz and Margarito are straight bums. How come he wants no part of Sergio Martinez or timothy Bradley? (O let me guess their good and not coming off bad performances). I don’t blame Pacquiao completely for this because he’s got a pretty sweet gig; get paid millions for fighting bums. Arum is to blame for selling these garbage fights and the people who buy these non-competitive bouts are to blame. I hope Pacquiao has a chance to test his skills in the near future because I do think he is good. But lets stop selling these garbage fights (hope your reading this Arum).
I hope every aricle written that says Mosely is old only fuels his purpose.
he absoluely bes thing for boxing righ now would be for Mosely to beat Pacquiao in a humuliating fashion.
SHANE MOSELY…DO THE WORK. IT IS UP TO YOU!
THE WORLD WOULD BE IN YOUR HANDS….
Truth Tella Morales, Barrea, Margarito and Delahoya were life support by the time Pacquiao fought them so don’t give this BS that they were in their prime. The only prime Mexican he fought was marquez and I had him winning both bouts. Will Marquez win today no, so lets be honest here. I know I’m responding to someone who been watching boxing since what 2007
Manny will fight marquez next mark my word assuming floyd continues to duck manny. arum is trying to maximize manny’s earning capability at this point, which i think is a very good business decision, while waiting for floyd to come to his senses and accept that fat paycheck. the mosely fight makes sense because this could be the last year that he can show any sort of competitiveness, he could very well be in wheelchair next year due to old age. so the next fight can very well be marquez. wait for your turn jmm, you’re next in line to be retired by manny.
Why Pacquiao will not fight Marquez? ‘Coz it is a MISMATCH! period..
SM is old? Maybe. But do you honestly believe that JMM can beat SM?
one at a time amigo! He can’t knocked them all in one fight. nxt time I make a suggestion to Bob Arum to raffle Manny’, nxt opponent so that they will not get jealous to the lucky pick, LOT’S OF MONEY AT STAKES
So where will Floyd Mayweather be in the history books? I’m guessing you’re Mexican Mr. hernandez. Listen Manny blew through the mexicans in their prime. Look it up watch the fights youtube it. Where did Marquez go after the first Pacquiao fight? Asia? What? Really?
Manny will be where he is let’s get to 2011 before you talk history, because all Marquez will be is a foot note in Pacquiao’s legacy. I hope you get your wish and Marquez gets this fight, and maybe all of you will shut up.
I just watched the replay of the Margarito fight, and yeah it was lopsided, but lets see where Marquez gets against either Margarito or Cotto.
Please be real folks.
hahahaha when pacquiao retires you have 50% less topics to write about…i bet you will remember him then…you should thank him while he’s around
Another Pac-Haters on the rise. If Marquez is a great boxer, why he did not show it against Floyd, and Chris John? There is the New Pacquiao after he beat David Diaz. Do you know how many rounds Marquez will last against the New Pac-Man…you guess…I’m very conservative so less than 3 rounds.
Please give the credits when it is due. He is the most exciting fighter of this era. Peace to Pac-Haters!!
at this moment marquez can’t handle the power of pacqauio..his style at this moment is different from years ago…
Pacquiao got 3 more years then he will retire. He will fight at least 4 fights. Marquez will get his chance. Mosley is next for now so deal with it. There is no one out there really that can give Pacquiao a good fight except for Wuzzieweather but he is busy beating up girls and non-boxers. Mosley wants a good payday before he retires. I suspect Marquez wants the same thing before he retires. I don’t blame Pacquiao. He wants a good PPV results so he can pay off his 32-seat plane.
These guys criticized Manny for old opponents, how about against Hatton,Cotto,Clothey,& Margarito are they old? Compared to their idol Mayweather . whom he defeated two old opponents Mosley and Marquez. Much worst to Marquez because he was cheated with agreed wieght by Mayweather and refused to be weighed at fight day.
this writer is such a hater…you think the other opponents were stupid enough to get in the ring with pacquiao if they knew they had no chance? you think DLH was that stupid? you dont think hatton was confident enough before the fight? you think people knew the outcome of cotto-pacquiao? NO. these fighters fought believing they had the edge/power/size – pacquiao just keeps proving them wrong in the end
THEY ALL WANT THAT P4P CLOWN TITLE THAT LAHR HAS HELD 4 AGES
Francisco Hernandez A new clown on the rise. Welcome to the Club amigo!
From: Chris Williams, Dave Lahr, Manuel Perez, Tan Wang Clown company
Barrerra 2 times, Morales 3 times, Juan manuel marquez two times, Juan Diaz, Cotto, Oscar Dela Hoya, Margarito, Hatton. Eight time world champ. fighter of the decade. Name one other boxer with this type of resume. Not a good fighter give me a break. Just ask any of the hall of fame boxers listed above and see if they think PAC is an average fighter.
You along with David Lahr Cris and Williams are another jealous envious arsehole who thinks they are a boxing commentator, and yet know absolutely nothing about the pugilistic arts……sad, very very sad
