Marquez thinks Pacquiao and his team waited until he had aged before fighting him again
May 31st, 2011
By Chris Williams: Juan Manuel Marquez has fought Manny Pacquiao to a virtual standstill in their two previous fights in 2004 and 2008. Many boxing fans believe that Marquez was the better fighter in both fights and won more rounds. Sadly, Marquez has little to show for his two fights with Pacquiao other than a 12 round draw in their first fight and a 12 round decision loss in the second fight.
Speaking with examiner.com, Marquez said “I think it is a strategy Pacquiao’s team has used. They waited four years to make this fight and the first was in 2004. It looks like they think/believe I have diminished.”
It’s too bad that Pacquiao didn’t fight Marquez immediately or soon after the 2nd fight because Marquez is now almost Shane Mosley’s age and not the fighter he was in his youth. This has to taint a win that Pacquiao might get over Marquez because when you fight a guy that’s 38 and beat him, it’s not the same thing as fighting a guy that is in his early 30s or late 20s. And then when you add in the fact that Marquez will be moving up in weight to fight Pacquiao at 144 pound catchweight instead of a catchweight nearer to Marquez’s 135 pound fighting weight, it doesn’t look good for Marquez. It’s almost like he’s in a no win situation here. Everything is going against him – age and weight.

More excuses from another bitter Latino below (Salvador Sanchez).
Get over it amigo.
Accept defeat LIKE A MAN.
The 3rd fight should of took place in 2009.Marquez is right Cherry Picking Team( pac-man and Roach) waited for Marquez to put milage on his body.Marquez won the both fights in my opinion.Just beacuse you knock down an opponent a few times does not mean you whon the fight you idiots!! The 3 judges are responsible for the contreversy.
its amazing you asked for a fight you get the fight then you complain about getting the fight instead of sayin i am too old to fight you now thanks but no thanks excuses excuses either fight or dont but dont complain when you get what you ask for hey shack whats your take on this
Pacquaio didn’t wait for Marquez to get old or slow. Pacquiao simply aimed higher in life and held it by the horn.
Marquez need to stop yapping his gums and pay attention to pacquaio and maybe he’ll learn a thing or two about life.
WTF? Marquez is the one that need closure. Pacquiao already beat cry baby marquez. What’s there to prove for pacquiao? Nothing.
Marquez definitely won their second fight. And yes Team Pacquiao did wait for Marquez to age.
What now chris. GB has said that they don’t have any hard evidence(s) that pacman is using PEDs!!!! They have apologized to pacman.
It’s Crhis Williams on the loose again…loose screws, i mean.
excuse is too early. should be post fight article
yes jmm now aged. so is manny
It is as if only JMM moved on in calendar years and Pacman stopped. What kind of thinking is this. While JMM faced opponents Pacman could sweep, Manny has been through dire straights fighting bigger opponents whom JMM won’t be able to beat. Let’s see how JMM will fare against David Diaz, the lightest champ Pacman beat years ago.
Aw, c’mon – Juanma had a chance at a rematch with Pac after their 2004 fight, but he chose to fight Chris John instead – and for peanuts at that. After their 2008 fight – Pacman’s asking price just went up, and it was now time to take on De La Hoya, who said he was going to “KO” Pacman. He didn’t, he quit. Now it was time to take on Ricky Hatton and Cotto, and in the business of boxing – Marquez had become small potatoes. Now that Marquez has a chance to fight Pacquiao and make money, he’s complaining! He said he “beat” Pacquiao twice. Fine. If he believes so, then what’s the problem “beating” Pacquiao a 3rd time?! Marquez is “better” than Pacquiao, isn’t he?! Let him prove it!
yes i agree, why only now? i love marquez how to fight, but how he will win i do not know. the only champ. who defeats pacquiao at his prime is el terrible morales in their first fight, but marquez no! but may be marquez can defeat pacquiao if he try to do a morales style ( cover, then dive, then box one and two inside, then cover, then withdraw). but how marquez will execute it, i do not know.
manny and floyd are the same,they both look for easy fights..thats why they both run from each other,and thats why boxing sucks..and UFC is takeing over.because w.e fight ppl ask for they get..o and they dont give soo much power to the fighter nither..thats nother problem they give these sooo call fighters power on who to fight and who not to fight..this generation sucks..makein history of cheatin
Yeah while Pacman is waiting for Marquez to gets old, Pacman stays young. It is unfair is’nt it? Williams you are very pathetic.
we all know that was their strategy all along but look at this marquez has been fighting top contenders and manny has been beating people who already have one leg in retirement. HEY MARQUEZ! YOU NEED A TUNE UP FIGHT? CALL ERIK MORALES! FIGHT EL TERRIBLE! THE PEOPLE WANT IT! VIVA TIJUANA!
As far as who Pac fights. For 20 million does it matter to him?. Would it matter to you?………………
I love Marquez, and think he is a Legend of a fighter, but I am sick of his whining about Pacquiao. He didn’t beat Pac,he lost. I saw the fight. He LOST.
Should have fought Marquez or berto instead of Mosley but arum is going for the most profitable fights not the most competitive!
Pacman is used to fighters not doing nothing against him recently, marquez has been the only one whos truly hurt him in a while, just look at his face after the 2nd fight, and marquez made him wobble bad too in that fight. I know its a long shot but im going for Marquez winning by tko by the 11th or ud.
@pactard
hatton never hurt floyd, mosley was a different animal against maywaeather( werent tryin to high 5 every 30 seconds) and dela hoya whos been pooned by both sed mayweather would take manny to pieces. who opinion am i gunna believe, a hall of famer or a keyboard warrior?
@kevfec
Manny out of balance? Did Hatton or Mosley or Dela Hoya hurt Pacman (or win a round or two) like they hurt Floyd? Did Floyd have the balls to fight Cotto or Margarito?
Didn’t Floyd come in at 146 vs. Marquez who jumped from 134 to 142? He could have fought a real welterweight or light welterweight, instead
If Pacman fights JMM for 3rd fight early, they’ll say he ducked real welterweights. Now that he’s cleaned up the marketable competition, JMM claims Pacman waited until he’s old.
Then the others will say, why didn’t he fight unestablished comers like Ortiz and Alvarez?
Hey, Pacquiao didn’t retire yet.
JMM, be a fighter, not a runner, so you’ll have enough fans, so that your promoter can afford David Diaz at the very least!
floyd would have manny so of balance it wouldnt even be funny, i see him dropping manny 2 or 3 times, not with big punchers but with hard straight when manny comes in exposed as f@ck with his arms at 90 degrees just like hatton an jmm. mannys of balance with 50% of his combos. floys not daft hed figure him out in 4 then take him to bits
Yeah Williams, I pity Marquez. He is too old to fight Pacman. The fight is not happening yet and you have all the excuses if Pacman beats Marquez. Marquez should be retiring now. What else will you say about Pacman? You have said everything to discredit him, I wonder if you have anymore except to quote other Pacman haters. Be original my boy….
Pac Man fight some younger hungry fighters for once plz not all these old or washed up fighters.
JMM is bringing the age issue now? is he planning to retire now after this fight?
I dont know any boxer or athlete bringing his age as an excuse even before the fight begins.
well good night marquez!
@heres the thing..if u knew about bout youd say r.i.p by edwins name cause he died last year
The fight hasn’t started and they are already making excuses what the shiet?
i can’t lat this shyt take over my life so i’m outta here! Go Pacquiao! represent our era!
spots!
That’s the nicest thing you’ve ever said to me but a leopod never changes it’s stripes. nah mean? i don’t consider myself inteligent, i’m a young man with a lot to learn.
@Mozilla Firefox! i like you style man, your an intelligent..
Don’t yous ever get tired or repeating the same b.s. over and over? G@yweather shouldn’t get a shot at Pacquiao until he publicly apologizes. I see a lot of these f@g gie Pinoys talking about how Pacquiao should just fight G@yweather! LOL, You two can go #@$% yourselfs! I like Pinoys, don’t get me wrong, it’s the American ones i can’t stand! Ya’ll been around too many nikkas! hahaha
Floyd chance to beat Manny is so slim by a decision, Floyd will not will not fight toe to toe if the fight happen, but Manny will chase him until Floyd commit a mistake and Manny is sharp shooter he hits like a bomb Floyd will go down!
These are the types of people you attract Chris, g@y Pinoys! hahaha You know how i know they’re g@y? Because it’s never taken me 4 years to get a beaches number! Try 4 minutes. F@gs! Yuck! bum ones too…….
Yeah right, you’re going to work? hahaha You two are total losers man! What do you follow eachother around all day from website to website? Damn man, get a friggin job! I refuse to end up like you two.
How is Mayweather going to beat Manny by UD when he beat Oscar by SD and Pacquiao retired him? Remember Oscar was only a year older than he was when he fought Mayweather and it wasn’t the weight that beat Oscar because the late Edwin Valero handed Oscar his ___ before he even made the weight. And lets not forget how Pacquiao KOed Hatton at his most comfortable weight in 2 rounds while it took Floyd 10 and he even blouted him. I’m not even going to mention Mosley.
You all are right about the Mayweather fight if it ever happens…. snoozer… Floyd Mayweather will not go toe to toe.. Pot shot all the way to a safe ud! It is great that Pac can move up in weight and beat these former greats but I like him at lighter weight fighting capable,and winning fighters…just my two cents! Gotta go to work, you guys be good!
Marquez is not yet defeated by pacquiao but hes already making excuses. If you know that your great than pacquiao then show it. Hopkins is 46 yrs old but he still beat pascal. Common, your lucky because pacquiao gave you one more chance to fight him. Because of that, you have the biggest pay of your career which is equivalent to 4-5 fight agianst other boxer.
I don’t think so… a Manny-Floyd fight has too many bad blood on it. I don’t expect him to be as friendly as when he fought Mosley.
If FMJ gets his act together and lets his former hunger take over he will show sooo mant people just how good he accually is! (Yep as boring as he is when he’s on his game he will thoroughly outbox Manny and win by UD!)
Personaly, i doubt Pacquiao would destroy Mayweather unless Mayweather made the mistake of going toe-to-toe with the man. I can picture Mayweather giving Pacquiao the run around and trying to potshot his way to victory. LOL. The good thing about Pacquiao, is he can knock you out in any round be it 1 9 or 12. Can’t say the same for Mayweather. The last guy that he Koed was Hatton who he blouted to beat. Pacquiao vs Mayweather would be the ultimate snoozer! The best fight would be against Martinez at 154 pounds exactly.
Ortiz might be next after Juan, and i like this idea, Ortiz beat undefeated Berto, i guess Bradley cant give Paquiao a good match! it only Floyd can give Manny a good one that we want to see, but i’m sure Floyd will demand a large ring so can run and beat Manny by points!!! boring to watch!!!
FMJ and his family have huge issues,no doubt! (FMJ in trouble again!)
To call him scared?! LOL
Politics politics and troubled mentality is the problem here!
I care little for FMJ but to those who think Manny will destroy him…? LOL LOL LOL
I don’t think Marquez could beat Pacquiao either. Not at his age and not at that weight but the money would be certainly good, plus he gets to expose Mayweather for the weakling that he is. People would say, Mayweather! you came in 2 pounds heavier and you still couldn’t knock Marquez out! LOL The great thing is, Marquez is only a year older since he fought Mayweather. That’s the Flomos worst fear, that’s why they hate the idea of a Pacquiao fight including this wirter. Me? I’m loving the idea. If it wasn’t Marquez i would have liked Pacquiao to fight Ortiz next. Berto knocked himself out of the race. It’s funny that people complained how Pacquiao was ducking Marquez andnow that he’s fighting Marquez they want him to fight someone else and the same guys that i saw complaining about how Pacquiao only fights guys comming off of a loss are now hollering for a Pacquiao vs Berto. ROFLMAO!!!
I can see you do not want to be critical of Pacquiao on this website, jeez…
No I do not think that Marquez can beat Pacquiao at this higher weight and age. I just said on an entertainment standpoint I like Marquez better than Watching Pac chase around older undeserving fighters. At least with Marquez you know he is going to bring it!
Tyson Lewis was a dud.. That is my point. It would have been better if Tyson would fight him 5 or 10 years b4 that…
@Cat23,,,you think Marquez can beat Pac? and you rather wanna watch 100times this two figthers fight than other Pac opponent, i tell you Boi, if you think Juan can beat the Pac stop watching boxing ‘coz your not learning… i can bet every thing i have on this fight Manny by TKO!
Mike Tyson was on a decline when he fought Lewis, that wasn’t a mega fight at all, and neither would a Pacquiao vs Mayweather be. I’ll tell you what would happen, Pacquiao would be chasing while Mayweathers running. Anyone who tells you that Mayweather is going toe-to-toe is delusional.
On another note, i can’t belive how people can complain about this writer but continue to give him hits. You so called Pacquiao fans should be ashamed of yourselves. This writer prays on suckers like you.
Finaly, is it the norm to only have 3 out of 5 comments posted or is it just me?
Also I watched both fights and am not sure what people were watching?Manny won both and done it convincing enough but a third could be good still!
I have been a Manny critiq mainly because his skills are top notch and I want to see him fight young,hungry guys!(FMJ of course but not holding my breath!)
Manny has such tremendious ability I want to see him in a tough fight! Marquez had two good fights with Manny but obviously feels himself that he is not what he used to be!
I think there is enough blame to go around for Mayweather vs. Pacquiao not getting made. Why would they fight each other? Of course we all want it. They make huge money fighting other guys that are much easier! A fight like May/Pac only comes around every 10 years or so. Until people stop paying for lesser fights, we are not going to get what we want. Just look back at Mike tyson/L. Lewis or Holyfield. There is no incentive for it until people get really bored with it and looking at message boards I do not think it is going to happen any time soon! Until then I am going to enjoy Pac get beat up by Marquez so Pac can get a split decision!
Pacquiao Team did NOT evade Marquez. They exactly went up the scales to settle where the big bucks are. If it meant fighting fighters that Chris thinks were weightdrained/old/coming from a loss – so be it!!!
They followed where the money is. Got that Chris?? So now who is wise ? Chris/Pachaters or Team Pacquiao? Yup u know the answer
I don’t think Pacquiao should ever consider fighting Mayweather until that clown publicly apologizes, because remember; Pacquiao doesn’t need Floyd as much as Floyd needs Pacquiao no matter what anyone tries to tell you. Now Floyd bringing out these T-shirts isn’t a sign that he’s going to apologize any time soon. The worst thing Pacquiao can do to this guy is not fight him. With Mayweather weak legacy, he’d be forgotten in a couple of years once he retires. ULMAO!!!
There you go again that Marquez fault because Pquiao also waited for four year after their first bout in 2004, its his turn to wait also 4years
Marquez will be 38 not 40 in August 2011. You are clearly putting this fight down and Marquez is helping you do it. Arum should cancel this fight and give us Pacquiao v Mayweather, Ortiz, Berto, or Bradley.
Yeah sure he did you no life qeer! Maybe Marquez thinks the world should have stopped rotating too! LOL How was Pacquiao ducking Marquez by fighting much bigger guys? Lets be realistic! Do you honestly belive Marquez would have beat Cotto, Clottey, Margarito and Mosley? LMFAO!!!
Mr.Williams is moving up on weight means Manny avoid to fight Juan, do you think this cry baby can beat all the fighters Manny fought seens he move up on weight in dramatic brutal fashion?…before Manny retires this fighters on the top in Mannys div. will get their shot and get their biggest paycheck of their career and no one of this can beat Manny!!!
YES HE WAITED FOR HIM TO TURN 38 AND FORCE HIM TO MEET HIM AT A COMFORTABLE CATCHWEIGHT FOR PACMAN, HO AND PAC WONT HAVE TO TAKE ANY EXTRA TEST FOR PEDS
Tell you what Chris, i would have loved for Pacquiao to have fought Ortiz instead of Marquez. That fight would have been soo friggin easy! He quit against Maidana and he’d quit against Pacquiao too, in lesser time! BUT, it is what it is. Marquez is where the monies at! Marquez is one of the best fighters to ever come out of Mexico, and that’s a fact.
They might have had a couple of close fights, but those knock-downs should be worth 100 points. If it’s true that Marquez weighed 145lbs in the Kasidis bout, then why is this writer crying? Didn’t your homeboy Floyd fight Marquez at a catchweight of 144lbs and come in 2lbs overweight? Then why all the tears? Is it because you’re worried Pacquiao may do a better number on him and once again show the world just how weak Floyd is? ROFL!!!
I have a question: How the hell has Pacquiao been ducking Marquez when he went on to win 4 more belts?
EXCUSES EXCUSES…
So it Begins…
What a LOSER
Most people think Marquez won the second fight with Marquez. So this fight will see if Manny is more than just a one dimensional brawler. Manny Pacquiao has not soundly beat a great boxer yet. We know he can destroy a fighter that just stands and trades. I am glad Marquez is giving Pacquiao a chance. I, myself would rather see Pac fight Marquez 100 times than see Pacquiao fight his last several guys.
So what Marquez is trying to say is that Pacquiao is DUCKING him for years, so to avoid Marquez Pacquiao fight bigger and stronger guys.And to avoid further Pacquiao is chasing Floydie who humiliate Marquez.
WTF.
is IDIOT
Chris Williams is IDIOTChris Williams
Juan want to fight Manny just because of the big money, he has nothing to lose ;coz he already lose twice, after 2004 Manny want a rematch, but Juan decline to fight insted he went to Indonesia to fight Chris John for $30.000 and lose the fight….Manny said he his not afraid to fight any fighter who his promoter put in front of him, Manny want to fight Juan and Roach want Manny to shut the mought of this cry baby..Arum dont wanna deal with Golden Boy now that Juan is free the fight is on, and dont cry cry baby just train hard this might be your last fight!!!
Excuses, excuses, excuses… I already knew then who won the first 2 fights. And I know who will win this 3rd fight. This 3rd fight will settle once and for all who really won the first 2 fights, but only for the cerebrally-challenged people.
YEH YEH COURSE HE DID!! OR IT COULD OV BEEN THE FACT HE WAS TO BUSY CLEANING UP IN LIGHT WELTER, WELTER AND LIGHT MIDDLE YOU MEXICAN DIK
The only resemblence this fight will have to the previous one’s, is the names of the fighters.
Marquez can weigh whatever he wants to, as long as he isn’t OVER 144lbs at weigh in. If he wants to come in to the ring at 135 lbs, HE CAN! Manny doesn’t hydrate more than 2-3 lbs, so they will be practically the same weight on fight night, somewhere around 146 lbs. Marquez hydrated to 145lbs against Katsidis, so no excuses about weight please.
Manny KO JMM in 3 rounds.
I absolutely LOVE IT that Marquez keeps yappin his don’t-know-any-better Chicano mouth.
I can’t wait til the promotional tour, when Marquez will talk all that S H ! t to Pac, who will simply smile at him.
What JMM still doesn’t realize is beneath that smile is the eye of a tiger.
On Nov 12 they will be serving SOFT TACOS to all the fans in attendance at MGM Grand because we all know when Pac serves Mexicans, Filipinos celebrate by eating Mexican food for midnight snack.
zdrx- yea sure wishful thinking.marquez also followed him to lightweight then pac jumped to fight de la hoya n then hatton to avoid the more dangerous fight n so the hype job began…
n u missed the fact that marquez fought 2 times between the pac fight n chris john fight actually….salido n polo
they also did this in 2008 cos marquez wasnt looking great for a couple of fights…but they also will have the weight advantage on top of that now.
too much comment by marquez. if you want to fight, then fight on the ring. if you don’t want, then sit and watch the movie. OMG, you are a boxer or news caster?If you lose for the game then u will tell that pacquiao is taking a PED. what happen to you? OMG. retire that’s enough, and let other young boxer go in the ring. if you win the game then u will tell that pacauio is old already, crazy strategy as business boxing.
he can opt not to sign the contract in the first place
)
Marquez is not the only boxer who wants to earn a living. He is lucky that he got three chances. If he is doubt on his ability and scared, he can still withdraw from the fight. Bradly is waiting for the chance to fight Pacquiao. Your annoying!!!
That theory does not hold water. Pacquaio has now been fighting in higher weight divisions for a long time, while JMM has continued to fight in the smaller weight divisions, therefore, taking their careers in different routes.
The rubber match has been made, so who cares what you think?
Hey! I thought JMM wanted RBT? Didn’t he say that before? Now he says he’s too old? Easy answer, don’t fight, no one is making JMM fight!!
I’ve heard sportswriters and announcers bring up age before a fight, but I don’t think I’ve ever heard a fighter talk about it. Marquez has his built-in excuse waiting for him after he loses…the truth is that Pacquiao has improved dramatically, and will win by KO this time.
Marquez and his 1001 excuses
I would have agreed to the title of this “story” if Manny went on vacation after the 2nd time they met in the squared circle.
During the span of 4 years, Manny kept himself busy fighting bigger opponents and making history.
If JMM thinks he is at a disadvantage, why commit himself for this fight? If he has aged, did Manny get any younger?
Somebody already said this, I’ll just say it again in a different way. After he fought Marquez, Pacquiao didn’t wait for no one. He simply moved on and made history…. something that can be told again and again for generations to come.
marquez ducked pacman after the first fight! jmm was offered 500,000 dollars for the second fight, instead of accepting, jmm opted to fight chris john for a measly 30,000 dollars! and worse, john humiliated jmm in that fight lol!!! that’s how dumb this jmm is!!!
Chris Williams is IDIOT
Chris Williams you are a legend so you are saying that Marquez ia already aged! How about Pacquiao is he getting any younger. You made me laugh Mr. William forget about your B. S.
Because ONLY Marquez aged and Pacquiao did not!
Gimme a break! If anything it’s Pacquiao who looks ready for the taking after his WORST performance to date against Mosley whereas Marquez looked like he was prime Marquez after his great win over Katsidis.
Mr. Chris Williams is RETARDED & IDIOT.
Whom ever Pacquiao fights some idiots & retarded will complain. Why don’t you just enjoy Pacquiao’s fights and be happy because he gives the fans what they want. You Mr. Williams is like Teddy Atlas of ESPN (and I don’t know why he’s still there) who is critic of all Pacquiao’s fights. He seems like envious of Manny. Mr. Atlas, get a life and have your scarfaced face fix, you look like a monster and act like a monster. And you Mr. Williams, you should get a life too, it’s obvious that you envy Pacquiao, you’re mad at him because he always fails you on your predictions. Now you’re saying that Juan Manuel Marquez is almost 38 years old, when Pacquiao will fight him in November, why is the age a problem, he’s the one chasing Pacquiao and told the world that he beat him twice. He was knock down 4 times in their last 2 fights, so who beats who. Better yet, stop writing any article about Pacquiao because you’re the same people who hates Pacquiao but you are riding on his popularity. If Manny Pacquiao retires, who else will you write about that will interest the reading public? No one else, because Pacquiao is a phenomenon that comes only ones in a lifetime.
quite funny because every time CW writes an article, most of the replies are not related to the subject but to him hahahaha..
Does NO one remember that Marquez was the one who took 4 years after the first fight to grow some balls to rematch Pacquiao. Marquez priced himself out of that fight just like Mayweather is asking for 100 million dollars to fight Pacquiao…
Yes, Chris….Pacman waited For Marquez to get old…..Instead, to avoid Marquez,…. he fought De la Hoya, Hatton, Cotto, Clotey, Margarito and Mosley…..just to avoid Marquez????….WTF..is Marquez in his right mind??? He should be more careful in what he says if not bye bye $5M.
MARQUEZ…YOU TO HAVE WAIT YOUR TURN….YOU AND YOUR CAMP REQUESTED A REMATCH AND HERE YOU GO. STOP MAKING EXCUSES..YOU SOUNDED FIRM, SURE, TOUGH AND ANGRY MONTHS BEFORE THE ARRANGED DATE, SEEM LIKE YOU ARE HAVING SECOND THOUGHTS…YOU SOUND DIFFERENT NOW….SO STOP WHINNING AND BE HAPPY WITH YOUR RETIREMENT PLAN .
It is still almost 6 months in to the fight but JMM is already making excuses. What a loser!
In that case. call off the fight JMM. Don’t pretend. Everybody knows JMM is only after his retirement benefits when he agreed to fight Pacquiao. JMM is not entirely blame for this fight’s late staging. Remember he priced himself out before and asked for unnecessary blood tests.
why????? are you gonna say pacman is the best? show your facts!!! give me ur email n i can friendly speak about boxing….
It’s all good,cause Ortiz comeing after PAC.
BORING.
Hey Williams…write about Tito Trinidad or Edwin Valero. Prove you know something you fairweather fan.
Excuses… The truth is Marquez just wanted to get his last payday before pacquiao sends him to LALALAND…
Chris Williams is RETARDED.
And so the excuses begins…
hey idiot, where were you these past 5 years ?
did you know that the pac-man fought bigger men for their championship belts?
and where was marquez? who did he fight?
grow up, you idiot.
This weeebsiite is obssessed about Pacquiao… Just look at the “Boxing Video” section, it’s all Pacquiao, Pacquiao, Pacquiao…
I know there are lots Pacquiao fans but I didn’t expect a weeebsittteee so devoted to Manny Pacquiao… lots of great fighters out there aside from Manny Pacquiao but this weeeebbbssiittee couldn’t give a daammmnn about them not even Floyd Mayweather in that video…
Manny Pacquiao is truly is the face of boxing!
Age doesnt matter if you have a warrior mentallity..Its too bad he got knockout in two previous fights which i think the judges made a right score in their cards..The upcoming fight will the determine who really wins the past 2 fights..
this writer is right on…i think the same thing..pac just waited for jmm to get older and not only that,jmm has to go up…he’s fighting a blown up old man,a lightweight…not to impressive if he wins
do you have any different to write i think i already read this column four years ago. your going around the bush
Same old sad story….
I usually do not listen much to what Chris Williams says, but i mean think about it, this is boxing.
Anyone who really knows boxing, knows that it is about strategy and fighters do wait for a certain time to fight a certain person.
If this was not the case we would not have as many difficulties making the right fights happen.
Just like i think floyd is waiting for pacquiao to slow down, christ might have a point here.
Freddie roach is a strategist and hes always said he would never put his fighter in against some one he did not think his fighter could beat.
Why did the pacquiao vs marquez 3 fight not happen sooner? Marquez has been chasing pacquiao down for nearly 4 years again.
Its just sad that in boxing u never really know whats going on behind close doors, this is about money guys dont get it twisted!
and so starts the excuses…
