Comments Thread For: Marquez: Mayweather Won't Be Greatest With Pacquiao

[Patrick_Bateman]

I don't think Marquez even needs to tell the public this. Everyone already knows this and the fact that Floyd is still actively ducking Manny is just pathetic. I mean Stephen A. is trying to throw Floyd a bone and get people riled up to watch him face Pac and subsequently win. But Floyd like always is too stubborn to do anything that isn't in HIS best interest. Floyd has arguably wasted his whole second half of his career running from Manny. Imagine the build up to fights with Floyd and Manny had they just gotten this over with already. Floyd is probably the most pretentious pampered Champion to ever lace up gloves and that will be what we remember him as.

We all know that on any given night anyone can lose. Yet with Mayweather there's only been really 1 or 2 fights that people can say was in question. Mayweather beat a lot of people that so many others get credit for beating. Including Marquez himself. You don't have to be a Mayweather fan to agree he's a special fighter but you do have to be a hater to disagree that he's been one of the best fighters for the last 18 years.

LOL^^

Memo is an expert drug chemist who can create PEDs and bypass them in drug test for his athletes.

Mayweather was a better counterpuncher to Marquez, thats why he won.

I'll ask you this
Why do we need drug testing in boxing if steroid is fair?
What are the advantages of using Steroids?

"Why do we need drug testing in boxing if steroid is fair"?

I'm not making fun of your typo, but I really don't understand what you're asking. But we do know this: many fighters have been popped for steroids and ped's and still ended up on the losing end.

People didn't hate Marquez when he got off the matt to outbox Manny in the first fight, or duke it out in the second fight, or even when he outboxed manny in the third--it took marquez knocking out manny in the 4th.

I love boxing too much to compose a narrative to suit some fanboyness. So accept the loss, Marquez would have knocked out anyone with that shot. The man is a professor of boxing and his perspective should be appreciated and valued. So, don't disregard what he says because he beat up your boyfriend

I think you misunderstood the poster's meaning. Hall of Fame & ATG are completely different things. Besides, Boxing, basketball & all other sports are entertainment business. Duncan can bring Spurs to the finals due to his fundamentals & a sure Hall of Famer but he will not remebered an ATG player (like, Jordan, Magic, Bird, Kobe & Lebron) due to his lack of character & inability to create dramas & most importantly, entertainment....

Please pass over sum of that good s*** your smoking...Duncan is already an atg that's not debatable...I would put the numbers up but what's the use...

Maybe you watch a little more TNT or something...

It's not not about his defensive approach as that is recognised in its own right; it is about the names on his resume: they simply don't compare to a Hearns, Hagler or Duran.

marquez bleeds

Marquez will always be bleeding in envy, because Paquiao destroyed him3 times, plus he destroyed all teh fighters that gave him a lesson.Marquez will be remembered as a great boxer,but not in the Legend level manny Achieved.Sorry but that is the truth.

[Digital Hu$tler]

Floyd is pretty damn good when you just talk about skill level and pure boxing ability its not many people better then him in the history of boxing.

[Teetotaler]

Well he's not wrong

There will never be a greatest of all time. After a great fighter retires another one will emerge and it will happen again.

First of all, english is not my first language.

Clearly on your statement above(the bold ones), you are proving yourself a PAC hater.Saying that Marquez outboxed Manny was laughable.

If Marquez really outboxed Manny, why Marquez didn't won in their first 3 fights. And don't tell me the 3rd fight was robbery, because that fight was so close.

1st Fight - This was a close fight but Pac knockdown Marquez 3 times and Pac didn't won the fight because of an incompetent judge.
2nd Fight - This was another close fight too but Pac knockdown Marquez again and Pac won the fight.
3rd Fight - This fight was draw for me.

You said "Steroids didn't knock out Pacquiao--Marquez did". Are you telling me steroids have nothing to do with Marquez having new found power especially in this stage of his career? and that is why I asked you before, "If steroid was okay to use, then why do we need drug test at all?"(There I revise my question). It seems to me, as long your favorite fighter wins, it was okay for them to cheat.

Lol When did I say I didn't accept the lost of Pac to Marquez? As a Pac Fan, I accepted his lost long time ago but I also noticed the continuous evidence of Marquez using Peds. That is why I'm losing my respect to him.

Last question,
Do you agree with me that Marquez was on PEDs?
