Juan Manuel Marquez Rejects Joan Guzman, OKs Rocky Juarez As Sept. 15 Foe!

If this is the case real bad move on JMM's part legacy wise. Guzman is a top 5 fighter at 130, Juarez is not.

 

he knows guzman would beat his ass...typical cherry picking by marquez.

 

You know i respect Marquez but this is the second fighter that hes rejected to fight. A rematch with Pacquiao, and now Joan Guzman...Whats this guys deal?

 

Not that big a deal IMO, he's been preparing to face a slugger/brawler type. . . to switch to Guzman this late would be a stupid move on his handlers part.

 

Marquez wins easily. I'm not excited in the least about this fight, considering both Valero and Guzman were possibilities, even Chris John. Whatever you think about Valero doesn't change the fact that Juarez is currently the leftovers of Barrerra who Marquez beat. Refusing to fight Guzman as well? :-(

:twisted: Instead of Pacquiao vs Marquez we get Pacquiao vs Barrerra..Barrera who Pac already knocked out, and coming off a loss..I like Barrera but it makes no sense. The Marquez Pacquiao fight would be in much more demand. Valero and Guzman would be much bigger money fights than Juarez as well..

I don't see how Juarez gets this title shot after beating two subpar opponents. Easy win for Marquez, hopefully by KO :verysad. Juarez is just too gunshy as of late.

Disclaimer: I realise what I wrote above sounds very angry and may sound as though I dislike certain fighters. Rest assured it's just my frustration about a horrible matchup that will take place (in my opinion). Apologies to anyone who feels offended by what I've said about certain fighters. Just venting is all, not looking to get into a arguement on how Juarez is worthy of a shot or not (he isn't).

 

Oh **** GBP! Is Juarez destined to be just another LIVE PUNCHING BAG for the rest of GBP's 130 fighters?

Juarez has no chance and besides he has nothing to offer . . . why not fight Guzman . . . for Christ sake!

atsch :huh :-(

 

Its not like Guzman knew this was gonna happen, he hasnt been waiting for Barrios to get injured in order to fight Marquez. Hey, you claim you are the best at a division then prove it! Bottomline is that Juarez is second tier comp. :deal

 

Confirmed: Marquez is the Mexican Chicken.

 

Guzman is a GBP fighter.

 

I know . . . I know that's why it's gonna be easy for them to arrange that fight if they wanted to. Why Rocky? :fire

 

JMM is the top dog other than Pac at 130 . . . Guzman is a big enough risk to take on at full notice. . . let alone short notice . . . any manager/promoter worth a damn makes the same move.

Now if you ask wether Guzman shoulda got the fight to begin with, thats a different story and I would agree that he should of got the nod over Barrios.

 

Guzman the most feared boxer in the world, Marquez is ducking him, PAc is ducking him,
Barrera is ducking him and Morales is rather retiring than willing to fight him.:smoke

 

Did they give any reason why Guzman was "rejected" as an opponent?

Pacman was rejected as an opponent as well. Then Marquez went to Asia and lost his belt for a purse of 25,000 , compared to millions he would of made in a Pacman rematch.

 

:yep :yep :good
