Comments Thread For: Team Pacquiao Explain Selection of Marquez Over Bradley

[ronnie_N.]

Not to happy but let's be honest, it's the most competitive fight out of the 3 choices available.

this......................

Why are you commenting about Floyd??When Floyd had a fight the public thought he lost,Floyd rematch right away and put away all doubt...Pac wins a fight against Marquez that many thought he lost,he runs out to find another opponent and actually loses...There is no comparing Floyd and Pac,why bother??This thread has nothing to do with May,and everything to do with Pac not wanting to fight anybody he's had a hard time with...At least not right away...

I know your not happy that its not Bradley being that you are a big fan but let's be real .... historically, Marquez has been Manny's toughest opponent yet Manny fought him 4 times. Most should be congratulating him for taking a tough opponent.

Manny could have taken the easier route and taken the easier opponent in Bradley .... I know you thought Bradley won but 90% of us thought this was an EASY victory for Manny.

NOBODY was calling out the Bradley fight except for Bradley fans and a few of Manny's haters .... just calling it as I see it.

Than don't fight him. Yes, it is simple as that. All fans ask is if a fighter calls out another fighter, fight that guy at his weight class. If it effects you that much where you are drained, than fight someone in your OWN weight division, Dawson just figured that one out huh?

The point being, Pac hasn't fought a WW in nearly 2 years. He hasn't fought a top 4 WW in nearly 3 years and has never fought a top 3 WW. Yet he wants another fighter (who's not even ranked at WW) to move up to him once again. Only this time Pac has no belt and no reason to fight JMM at WW.

let's be honest Wess, Marquez was Manny's toughest opponent when looking at who was available (Marquez, Bradley Cotto).

As for fighting a top WW, Floyd is not cooperating in that department. Let's be honest, at this point in time, after Manny and Floyd (if Floyd stays at WW) the division is very mediocre. There is no name that stands out.

I don't care who Pac chose tbh,I don't get a cut..You also did not respond to any of my comments in my post but whatever...

I think Bradley will take the win over Pac(he officially scored)and keep it moving..That does not change the fact you are talking about Floyd and a Pac comparison when there is none..Floyd has dominated and when he did have a questionable victory he righted the ship..Bradley was also willing to do this..Why Pac is not is beyond me,he did not do it with Marquez(how long before all their rematches)and even with Morales...That's all I'm talking about now..I also have no hate for Pac,I'm actually a bigger Pac fan then I'm a Mayweather fan..But facts are facts...

let's be honest Wess, Marquez was Manny's toughest opponent when looking at who was available (Marquez, Bradley Cotto).

No, if Bradley was THAT easy, he would have picked him. Pac needs a fight that would sell. This is why he wanted Cotto, then JMM. It's not about how tough the fight is. It's about PPV ratings and money. So you can stop with the O JMM is his toughest fight etc etc etc.. Apparently it's not as he hasn't lost to JMM yet. Meanwhile Pac had the hardest time convincing 3 people that he can beat Bradley. To me, it seems like the challenge would be for him and Roach to come up with a plan to win without leaving any doubts. I would have rather seen Pac fight Bradley out of the 3 names without a doubt.

As for fighting a top WW, Floyd is not cooperating in that department. Let's be honest, at this point in time, after Manny and Floyd (if Floyd stays at WW) the division is very mediocre. There is no name that stands out.

Again, you're trying to justify Pac's decisions based on what Floyd has done. Floyd's not even at WW. Pac is, and he officially lost to Bradley who is fighting at WW. Like I said, you either fight a WW or move up or down to the person you demand to fight. Simple as that.

So your saying a fighter who lost twice to Pac is the better opponent then a fighter who scored a victory over him(no matter who you felt won,fact is Bradley got the nod)??That just does not make sense to me..Now if Pac never fought Bradley(and lost to him)I would say you are right about Marquez..But fact is that is not the case..If I have a hard game of B-ball with a guy but beat him...But the next guy I play,I have a hard game but I loose..Guess which guy I'm gonna want to play next..That's just the competitor in me...

Arum is a scumbag, and Pacquiao is being controlled like a puppet.

If Bradley did well, boxing fans would be screaming for the fight ... me included but that didn't happen. Marquez fight was close 3 times and his time is now ..... Bradley being the youngest of the 3 can wait it out and fight Manny next year or sometime thereafter.

You've still not really spoke to my post,but it's cool..I dig it..You'd rather see a re-run then to see if Manny can step up and do what so many thought he would do in the first fight(win)..

90% of the people thought Bradley lost and it was easy .... I guess you and 10% think otherwise.

Manny never lost to Marquez but it was close 3 times. It's a huge rivalry and that is what the fans want to see .... nobody was screaming for Bradley ... except for you and some Bradley fans.

I want to see Manny fight Floyd but Marquez is the best pick from the 3 names that were given.
