You can cross out shit... you can delete... you can edit... you can do whatever you want. You have mod powers. But you can't escape the truth. And I'll take your post apart point by point.

1. You yourself said Steward considered Barrera and Morales "easy" fights for Hamed. Translation: Marquez was NOT an easy fight. Translation: Steward encouraged Hamed to duck Marquez. Next.

2. Ok let's split hairs. Although everyone else clearly alluded to Hamed ducking Marquez, only one actually used the right words. Ok you win. Meanwhile, no one ever accused Marquez of ducking Hamed. Only you, hardly an authority. Next.

3. Marquez was offered a fight after trying UNSUCCESSFULLY to land a fight with Hamed for TWO YEARS. Then, using the head games that handlers and promoters are prone to play, they make an offer to Marquez under circumstances they know Marquez will refuse. It's all explained by credible people. I don't need and will not rehash the details. And let's get one thing straight. The fact that Hamed's people (not Hamed) offered Marquez a fight under dubious circumstances and timing, does NOT prove Hamed wasn't scared of Marquez. Hamed had plenty of time to accept fight offers from Marquez. He chose not to. Next.
