Did Marquez and his team made a horrible decision of fighting Bradley?

    :deal very nice post

    why should bradley go to exchange with jmm when it doesnt suits him? even when he did exchange, his corner said that he needs to stop that bull**** and go back to fighting from distance. it was very nice boxing by bradley and i enjoyed it. he was fast, explosive and elusive, he did damage to jmm already in first three rounds.

    I agree, simply the wrong style for Marquez.

    Marquez is a great counter puncher and has good technique but he isn't the great defensive boxer some made him out to be. He needs fighters to come at him to look his best.

    I've been sayin it for years Marquez IS overrated, he's touted as bein some kind of great ring general with his sweet science n shii but thats all bull, real sweet scientists are floyd, bhop, ward etc them guys don't only counter punch they do it all. one dimensional juan only fights well against reckless guys that come at him he can't do **** to a slick athlete who can pot shot his ass.

    He's ****ing 40 guys FFS... How many top 10 fighters in the 135-147 range as still competeing with world class fighters at 40? You can get away with old age in the higher weights but not in these weight classes.

    He fought a good fight but came up short, simple as that. Every time a damn fighter loses now he is "exposed" or "outclassed"

    This is a cherry-pick totally gone wrong. JMM's team thought Bradley is easy picking after his performance with Provo. Memo load up Marquez with power pellets that bulks up his body to generate more power but sadly, he was there with the Bradley who fought Pac. Its obvious Marquez will fight Pac for the 5th time and get that retirement money but decided to collect an easy payday against Timmeh. Now he's f`ucked. If I was Pac I'd tell him to shut the Fokk up and fall in line...

    Excuses?

    He was beat, thats not the point. In no way was he "exposed" or "outclassed" you guys are a joke.

    SD 12 deal with it and don't be like your idol who's a f`ucking crybaby "oh I've been robbed six time blah blah blah" :|:|:|:hi:

    At least Pac was gracious in his defeat against Bradley though 97% of the media scored it for Pac overwhelmingly :hat

    You may have a point there. Remember how Whine Memoel Marpizz chose to fight Chris John in the jungles of Borneo for a paltry $30k after Pac-JMM 1 (instead of immediately rematching Pac for $700k)--and lose too?

    JMM's management was and can be arguably whack! :yep

    in retrospect, an argument can be made for team marquez opting to face bradley, because:

    1. there's always a chance that a more athletic, younger fighter who is also at the top of your weight class can beat you.

    2. he made a fraction of the money he made against pacquiao, and wasn't there an offer on the table for a immediate, fifth pacquiao clash? where he would have been able to make tens of millions of dollars, coming off a decisive ko win?
