Hamed v Marquez

[ICB]

You're welcome.

After Marquez so miserably failed against Norwood he must of believed he'd never beat a fighter of Naz's high calibre.

What other reason could there possibly be for Marquez turning down Naz's generous offer?

I see what your getting at Fenster and i do agree. Marquez was coming off a very ugly fight with Norwood. And Naseem was the top man at Featherweight so why would Marquez turn the offer down ?? i know Naseem did turn down Marquez's offer before that and yes Naz, did only offer Marquez the fight when he see Marquez didn't impress against Norwood. But if i was Marquez i would of taken that offer with both hands and i wouldn't of let go that was a big chance at super stardom for Marquez. And i can't see why he would turn it down.

Was there any excuse made public, I cant remember? Fighters dont usually just say no and chicken out with out a call, after all they are fighters.

I can't remember exactly because i was young at the time. But i for certain remember Naz offering Marquez a fight and Marquez turning it down. I don't know what his excuse was for turning down the fight. But i find it a little strange that he offered Naz a fight and Naz turned it down. Then after Marquez looks unimpressive in an ugly fight with Norwood. Naz then offers him a fight but then Marquez turns it down and fights against mostly unknown opponents for the next 2 years. I can't understand why he wouldn't take it that was his chance at super stardom, and i didn't hear Marquez saying he had any injuries so that puzzles me.
