    Default Re: Marquez says 'no' to a fifth fight

    Let me clarify my earlier statement, my point is not to pass judgment on whether Pacquiao deserves another Marquez fight. If Marquez wants to bypass another Pacquiao fight for a fight with one of the top junior welterweight, or welterweight fighters, then by all means, do it. It would be great because it would be the first time he's fought a top junior welterweight, or welterweight, not named Pacquiao or Mayweather. I just think this is all a smokescreen because Marquez has no other fight close to as lucrative out there and he won't face another top welterweight. I recall saying before Pacquiao-Marquez III, when people were deriding Pacquiao's choice of opponent in Marquez, that Marquez just has Pacquiao's number. The fourth fight proved it. I remained unconvinced that Marquez would dominate other top junior welterweights/welterweights, and until we see him against one, we'll never know.

    agree to a point, but just stylistically I think he could handle Bradley, Tim's straight forward style and lack of power and output in a way is perfect for Marquez, he would probably just counter and out hustle Bradley to a boring UD, but get what you're trying to say
