He's not shot, but he's definitely in decline. Looked slower to me than he usually does. Thought the same after the Mosley fight. Whether it's Mayweather, or someone else, I think he'll be beaten soon. Well, he was beaten last night, but officially beaten.
No way Ali beats Big George! Watch Foreman v Frazier! No way B-hop beats Pavlik! See Pavlik v. Taylor! Get my drift?
No, even if he was Marquez still gave him problems twice when he was prime and beat his ass when he was so much more "improved" in the 2nd fight.
Past Prime, but no where near shot. Marquez was no spring chicken himself for this fight, he just has Pacs number.
According to boxing forum posters every boxer is either shot, should retire, over rated or is a bum. If posters were critiquing Muhammad Ali, Joe Louis or Sugar Ray Robinson the same would be said.
Was JMM "shot" after he faced Mayweather? No. Styles make fights. He is just exposed when he has a quality opponent. IMHO, put Pac in there with Bradley? Pac looks unstoppable once again.
Can we stop using the word "exposed" please?, no one was exposed FFS. Marquez always had the perfect foil for Pacs style, it doesn't mean he's not great.
Hell no. He just fought a guy who didn't want to play his game. Put Pac in their with someone who will play his game and he'll look great.
I felt sorry for Pacquiao while he was doing his interview last night. Especially the part when asked about Mayweather, he looked so uncomfortable and you could see the booing really got to him. People have put him on the greatest of expectations and hyped the hell out of him. He is a great fighter but he has weaknesses just like every other great fighter. It's not his fault he's been placed where he has and Arum is milking him for all he's worth. Pac is the same fighter he always has been he was just in there with a master technician.
Marquez style has ALWAYS given Manny fits......this is NOTHING new......the only people considering him shot are *****s making excuses for Floyd to duck the fight. Marquez just so happen to be NOT SHOT as some had claimed.:|
