Kid Galahad applies lessons learned from doping ban to set up first world title defence. Crawford: Porter was second-best fight behind Pacquiao. Predicting potential surprises, including Crawford's future, Alvarez vacating titles and more.
Marquez has less of a chance this time because has not only improved tremendously but is bigger and stronger since they last fought. So why would he think he can win? Maybe he just wants one last huge payday. Maybe he wants to be in the spotlight one last time. Or is that Marquez possibly has delusions of grandeur. Who knows. What I wanted to know is how can he realistically be in the pound for pound discussion when you have a new era of talent and he has lost to Pacquiao twice.
Doesn't someone who hasn't lost to Pacquiao twice deserve a shot? Forgetting about Floyd who else is there? More importantly is there anyone else who has a similiar style as Floyd.
Fast defensive fighter with an "East Coast" style. This would serve as a preview to Pacquiao vs Mayweather. The fighters are there. What is lacking are quality promoters. Promoters need to market fighters and bring them to the spotlight. Especially the good fighters that leave it all in the ring. Promoters only focus on one fighter. Promoters only focus on one fighter and disregard the rest. I think that is what is needed.
Promoters need to focus on all the fighters and make the best fights and create rivalries. The organizations are doing their job, but we know that there are too many paper champions, like the interim champion, the gold champion, the silver champion, and the super champion. I think that this, too, has affected boxing and tarnished its credibility.
JES : If everything goes well with your exhibition with Miguel Cotto, do you think you will return to competitive boxing? JMM : No, we are not crossing into that frontier. We are conscious and aware that our best moments and years are past us.
Because if this turns into a fight, then what a treat for the fans, because they will see a display of great boxing. JES : What do you think is going through the minds of active fighters watching all of you come back doing these exhibitions and maybe you guys taking away some of the focus off of them and maybe stealing the market?
I think the sun shines on everyone, and I think everyone has a fair share of the market. If we can do it, they can do it. The doors are open, so we are taking advantage of it. Boxing is my passion as it is for Miguel Cotto.
So, if this opportunity presents itself, what not take advantage of it and do something good for boxing? I think they would be grateful because that means we are also creating exposure for the sport and them.
JES : Juan, I wish you the best and much success and that this fight turns out great, and that both of you and Miguel triumph. JMM : Thank you. However, to my surprise, when I saw them fight, they looked good, fought good, and kept it friendly. And most of all, I was truly entertained and could relive a part of my boxing memories for a few minutes. For Faitelson to suggest so is preposterous, asinine, and downright irresponsible as a sports journalist.
I suppose following the success of Tyson vs. Nostalgia keeps us connected to our past, especially our happiest moments. In my opinion, the popularity of these exhibition matches amongst the boxing legends has more to do with the fans seeing their favorite fighters dance one more time.
Connect with us. Juan Manuel Marquez Everything is going well. I'm only 1. I will train later on and I will make the weight. Devin St. Louis We all saw you beat Manny the last time, why is it that he looks so dominating against other fighters, and so avg against you? You seemingly had a tougher time with Juan Diaz than you did with Manny. Juan Manuel Marquez I think boxing is all style. My style is problematic for him. I've beaten him before and that makes it hard for him.
Steve Middlesex, UK What has been the hardest weight for you to win a world title at? Juan Manuel Marquez All of my fights and championships have been very tough. There is no easy fighter out there. My three championships have been very tough to get. I can't say flyweight is easier or any other weight is easier. They're all tough. Ticco Boston Did you train the same was as you did for your last fight, with an emphasis on your strength and power?
