Bert Sugar on Mayweather vs Marquez

It is pretty obvious to anybody that Marquez's body didn't hold up the gain in weight. He looked very slow and he looked heavy. To chalk it up as only Mayweather being bigger, faster and more athletic overlooks the fact that Marquez is smaller, slower and less athletic than Pacquiao but at his proper weight had the hand speed to hold his own. Mayweather beats Marquez at any weight but it would be foolish to discount how poor he looked at that weight.

 

Duran and Mosley were big, strong lightweights who started their career at that weight. Marquez, while he is the legit lw champ, is really a career featherweight who's still only had 2 lightweight fights. Comparing his jump up to welter to that of mosley and duran isn't quite right.

As for Bert Sugar, the guy just really loves to hear himself talk, it seems to me. The fact that he talks out of his ass half the time doesn't seem to bother him. The guy is a looong time follower of the sport, but while i respect his factual knowledge, i do not much respect his insights most of the time.

 

I thought the dinosauers were extinct.Or at least on the endangered list.

 

Good point, but not what this thread is about. This thread is pointing out how people will downplay Mayweather before a fight, as bert Sugar does here, then downplay his victory after he easily beats the person who was supposed to give him trouble.

Bert Sugar sounds like Buxer or Bladerunner did before the Marquez bout, as well as after.

 

This is ridiculous. Bert Sugar always talks like a sportscaster.

 

Burt sugar is a morron. He also knows how to sell a fight. Which is what he's doing. I mean **** he's saying MArquez fights like CAstillo, WTF. Its embarassing. As far as what he was saying afterwards about Mayweather choosing his opponents, again selling something.... Guys a joke.

 

It is just a case of Bert will say whatever he has to to sell the fight before it takes place. This fight was a farce, comparing a 35 year old Marquez to a young Shane or Duran is inaccurate.

 

Your posts are all the same, they really are. It's actually pretty funny reading your posts because they are so hectic, like any bad poster. You start on one thing then it's like you suffer a concussion half way through and you fill the rest of your posts with arbitary, irrelevant facts and uninformed opinions. That's why very few people who disagree with you, take you seriously.

I can debate boxing with anyone. I like debating with guys who have different opinions but there's a core of poor posters on ESB like you, who are just impossible. I can't apply logic to your arguments, because you don't apply it in your own arguments, you know? So I think it's pointless talking to you. The only thing stopping you from being a horrible poster, is your grammar skills and you aren't too obnoxious. When you start forming well balanced opinions, you'll be a good poster, hopefully.

Always knew the guy was something of a fraud. Objective he is not.

 

Don't worry about it, mate.

Pavlik's biggest weaknesses are speed and elusiveness. Mayweather is, combined, the fastest and most elusive fighter in the world. 20lbs does not make the difference when there is such a huge gulf in ability, but most importantly, styles.
