Marquez VS Mayweather 2?

[IamInuit]

There is no reason for a rematch. Marquez knocking out Manny after 4 tries is not relevant.

agreed unless he just obliterates bradley in dominating fashion and then like 2 more big names at that point he may have fought himself into a rematch, not that i'd want to see it or that i think the outcome would be different.

Marquez isn't better because he bulked up, he just different. He's stronger but he's slower, that won't help against a guy he can't hit. Plus muscle burns energy, I'll bet dollars to donuts he gasses first fight that gets to the championship rounds .

Both have risen above it and no need for another go, but stature wise and numbers...I would not rule it out at all. Still think the fight was strictly about mythical "P4P" standing for Floyd and was in the works for a bit, he also came in well overweight but it was what it was. Hated that match up and thought Floyd used it to backdoor his way back into 'relevance' after long absence. I'd personally like to see Marquez take care of Bradley and call it a career.

i understand that maybe he would have earned a rematch, BUT that doesnt mean the rematch should happen. marquez will not be able to beat mayweather. it just wont happen. if JMM doesnt retire, there are fights out there for him that will raise his stock to climb the all time ranking lists. im not saying that he will be anywhere near the top, just saying that if he beats bradley and can beat another 2 top guys, he will solidify himself as an all time great without any argument.

im actually still of the opinion that JMM and pacquiao are about equal all time whether or not anybody wants to agree with me.

It's not possible for Marquez to beat Mayweather. Muthafukkas don't understand that Marquez success now is due more to intelligence than it is skill. Marquez has been out skilled plenty of times. He's faced stronger and faster fighters. Pacquiao owned every advantage over Marquez. He was younger. Stronger. Faster. More explosive. And had a better chin. On paper Pacquiao should of run over him. But he couldn't. Why? Cuz Marquez is one of boxings smartest fighters. If not the smartest. Top 3 no doubt. He can counter the power and speed advantages he gives up with intelligence. Intelligence-wise Pacquiao is in the top 3,000,000. No where near top 3. There's a huge gap between Marquez advance intelligence and Pacquiao's remedial intelligence. Which is why despite being out skilled he can beat Pac. Problem when facing Mayweather is he was facing a fighter who can match his boxing intelligence. Mayweather's intelligence off sets Marquez intelligence. So it becomes a battle of skills. Which Marquez loses.

This is kind of a moot thread since Marquez was recently asked about it and he said he didn't want a rematch as everyone saw what happened in their fight, there is no need to do it again.

Didn't read the article but refreshing to see a boxer know that they might just not be able to beat someone.

Yes saves a lot of threads, PPV money and debate. Why he took the fight in the first place I do not know.

No. Floyd vs. Manny is that's the case. Floyd is already fighting a tainted, somewhat, Amir Khan. There is no excuse other than Arum to not make that Floyd/Manny fight. Let's pray both sides warm to the idea...

Arum owns Pacquiao. Fight will never happen. Accept it.

Plus no matter how bad he beats an average skilled Rios warrants a PBF fight. Who knows if he will be the same fighter after brutal KO. Plus if JMM KO's Bradley there definitely be no Floyd or JMM 5th fight. A win over Rios only earns a Bradley rematch regardless of Bradley outcome vs JMM.
