Thread: If pac fought marquez after oscar...

Hi guys,

Pac is a great fighter with a great personality and i wish him a speedy recovery.

I was just wondering whether the general feel of the pacmania that we all had would have still been this strong if pac would have fought marquez straight after oscar?...

If you look at clotty, hatton, cotto, margarito they are the complete opposite from a marquez type fighter which manny has always had problems with.

If manny fought marquez after oscar and the fight ended up like marquez 3 or 4, there definately would not be no mention from any fan, critic or hater that he is past his prime, leg cramps, no alex ariza, etc.

Like i said, we cannot ignore mannys achievements and his interest in politics and his age..this is affecting all fighters but im not talking about now im talking about then.

Was this great marketing from bob arum to avoid a marquez type of fighter for so long?

What are your thoughts on all of this?

Pac was great, but picking the right styles and catchweights made him even bigger than that.

I like pac, i think hes a good guy and a credit to the sport

all the abuse he has taken from the mayweather camp and then after the loss to bradley and then marquez there were no excuses, he is just happy to be in the position he is

I agree with adam to a certain degree tho

i honestly believe had pac fought margarito a couple of years earlier it would have been a different fight, same with hatton

i believe if the cotto and dlh fights hadnt have been at a catchweights they could well have turned out very different

i think he has had some benefits/advantages along the way that has made his rise seem much better than it was

Yes thats true but i dont want it to turn into a discredit/compare fighters history thread.

Im interested in your views if he fought marquez earlier then it certainly would have changed everything.

yeah i was being a cunt in my earlier post soz

didnt pac fight marquez at about that time?

i think pac was worthy of his two nil lead over marquez going into the last fight, i also think he would have won the last fight had it gone all the way

so to summarise i think barring a KO pac struggles with marquez but is slightly better over the distance and that would be the same at any point in their carears

what do you think?

I agree with that.
Marquez needs the ko all the time to win.

do you agree with the controversy of the 3rd fight?

i didnt see it live and from reading the press and forums after the fight it seemed pac had been gifted

You wasnt being a c&nt at all fella,

All the fights were close apart from the 4th one.

Its just a shame the 3rd marquez fight wasnt a bit earlier.
