Comments Thread For: Marquez Admits Fear of Robbery in Fifth Pacquiao Bout

[Damn Wicked]

Marquez got his biggest claim to fame for KO'ing Pacman so I can understand how he doesn't want to fight again and risk losing and looking bad. He doesn't seem to have much faith in his ability to beat Pac decisively if he won't do a fifth fight with him. Especially considering there's no other fight that will provide him anywhere near such a huge purse.

No need for another match Marquez put the explanation point on this rivalry ..

Of course Pac/Marquez 3 wasn't a robbery - only biased people who disagreed with the decision called it that. I had it 115-113 Pacquiao (and I was at the fight) but the fight could've certainly been scored either way. Lederman had it 116-112 Pacquiao. The unoffical press count I've seen had 57 scoring it for Marquez, 51 scoring it for Pacquiao, and 36 scoring it a draw ()) and I believe the CompuBox stats favored Pac so I'm not sure how you call it a "robbery" when it was reasonable to score it either way...

Listen to the whole tape, but especially 2.10 on.

Check out Freddie's comment about the gameplan..... about how their gameplan was to work the body, and yet they only landed 2 punches the whole night

I dunno man, I think that you are way more confident than Freddie Roach is about who really won that fight. I dont think Roach is convinced at all.

Nah you dont understand at all.

Marquez stated that he is concerned about being robbed.

Its crazy. Especially since Marquez was the one who kept on begging. He had T-Shirts made out ..... it was always "Manny this, Manny that".

Marquez hasn't had many fights since knocking the crap out of Manny.
If he comes back, fight malinaggi and retire, or algieri.

PAC too, after the devastating, and I do mean devastating loss to Marquez, then losing to Floyd so so easily, oh my gad, too easy, more than easy.... PAC should beat up malinaggi and retire.

I don't ever want to see PAC face planted on the canvass again. I don't want him to go out that way. He deserves better than that.

OMGad! Please let him retire, without more brain damage. Ay dios mio.
Stop with this circle jerking each other. Let him retire with his pride.

As he said, " I did my best, but I guess my best wasn't good enough." . Wait???
That is a Quincy Jones song.

Best Regards,
Zaroku

Pacquiao was hurting Marquez before he landed that lucky punch. That is why he doesn't want any more.

He definitely has a point and he's the only decisive winner between the two after 4 fights, whereas you can argue about the other fights. JMM got his closure once he landed that huge shot, Pac is prob still looking for that closure which is why he'd want another fight but I don't blame JMM for wanting to leave it as it is.
