Juan M Marquez avoids Unification bout with Humberto Soto, to......fight Katsidis?

I wonder if Soto will continue his cunning plan against Antillon - looking, to the uninitiated, like he's nothing more than a decent fighter struggling to beat mediocre competition, in order to lure an unsuspecting Marquez and Pacquiao into fighting him.

Most fighters try to look as good as possible to bolster their reputation and force their way into a big fight but Soto is clearly to shrewd for that.

 

Yea, all Soto has to do is Homer Simpson his opponent into a false sense of security. After he's wasted all his energy beating Soto from post to post, Urban will try and back away to conserve his energy. Then the trap is sprung:deal

 

Exactly. Spot on. He is doing what everyone else does. Questioning the mans balls at this point in his career is nonsensical.

Besides it makes no sense to unify anymore. The Orgs don’t like it and usually 1 of them strip people who dare to complete it.

 

My guess is he gets more money to fight Katsidis, the better known fighter. Can't see JMM being too worried about Humberto, who's another technical fighter like JMM but with slightly less skill and speed and considerably less power.

 

How do you figure? Nobody but serious boxing fans even know who Soto is. They all know Katsidis, he's been hyped 10x more than Humberto.

 

katsidis was his mandatory, he was honouring that by giving him the fight.. surely there is more money in fighting kat than soto

 

Mexicans don't buy HBO PPV fights.

I like Soto, I'm a fan, but saying this type of crap about JMM is just out of bounds. It's laughable to think he's scared of Humberto, JMM is a mother****ing BEAST in the ring, and as good as Soto is, he's two levels below Juan Manuel Marquez.
