I asked... even if Marquez was guaranteed a KO loss why would he refuse a HUGE career high payday? Why turn the fight down even if he believed he would lose? He refused a $500,000 payday for a $5000 one. A very puzzling course of action, surely?. I have NEVER once said he would be KO'd.

Titofan - Assumption 1: is a 100% verifiable fact. If you want to ignore it that's fine by me. Assumptions 2, 3 and 4: have NEVER been called "fact" by Fenster at any point during this fantastic thread (that both you and AdamGB think is boring/pointless/tired but can't stop replying too).

Mars_ax - what an extremely pertient observation. Although I have never studied law, I do rather enjoy John Grisham adaptations.


Out of morbid curiosity.... show me ONE quote from JMM where he says he'd rather not fight Naz.
That's the ONLY way you can use the word "verifiable". If not, it continues falling under the category of "assumption."
TitoFan - there is no need to apologise...

Featherweight Marquez said no to Hamed

Juan Manuel Marquez conceded Friday that he turned down a fight with Prince Naseem Hamed, the World Boxing Organization featherweight champion. "I had been waiting two years," said Marquez, speaking through a translator. "Now they want the fight. I wasn't prepared."

"Hamed is difficult to fight. Hamed is like a wrestler," Marquez said. "He will toss you around if he can. I'll have to knock him out to get the victory."

Marquez said he would like to fight Hamed as the champion of one of the other sanctioning bodies. Otherwise, Marquez said, fighting Hamed "is not on even terms."

Nacho Beristain, Marquez's manager, said: "They want to get us when all of our energies are gone (from negotiating)," Beristain said. "We never want to fight (Hamed). Who do they think they are? They came out with an offer of $400,000. It is not worth it."

LAS VEGAS RJ:SPORTS: Featherweight Marquez said no to H...

There you go.

1. Proof that Marquez admits refusing to face Naz. Fact.

2. Proof that Marquez wanted a title first. Fact.

3. Proof that Marquez manager "NEVER wants to fight Hamed." Fact.

4. Proof that Marquez turned down a career high payday (at the time). Fact. (research that if you don't believe me, although trust me, it's a fact)

5. Proof that every single thing Fenster has said is verifiable fact. Fact.

Whoomp there it is!
