Just a little something to show you guys How a Prime Hamed was ducked

Every fighter near Hamed's radar ducked the Brit. But after Hamed got exposed, ths ***** never moved on, retired, and became one of the hatton's pig legions.

 

Hamed, MAB and EM ducked JMM? You have link on this bro? So you were saying JMM was the avoided one in at the superbantam/feather?

 

Yes I have a link, my brain by way of memory of the events.
I've been an avid boxing fan for 31 years now. I lived that whole era, bought and read boxing magazines, and picked up the dailly spanish newspaper just so that I could read their boxing column.
LA Opinion covered boxing extensively, the english paper the LA times did'nt and still does'nt cover boxing except for high profile fights.

Marquez wanting to fight MAB and Morales was common knowleadge among Latino boxing fans in the west coast of the US......

While Marquez frequently mentioned wanting to measure himself vs MAB and Morales, whenever the subject JMM came up to them, they avoided the questioning and switched to a different topic......
.....a typical way to brush off a question when asked about a Marquez fight is to say, "I'll fight anybody my promoter puts in front of me, even Mike Tyson."
All this while failing to utter from their own lips the name Juan Manuel Marquez which was what the questioning was about.
It happened all to frequently with MAB and Morales who were just comfortable fighting eachother and not letting anyone else considered a real threat, in on the loop.



The link is in having lived the era Igor!:deal

 

Thanks. Damn, what would Marquez be had he fought these greats before...

edit: "I'll fight anybody my promoter puts in front of me, even Mike Tyson."-promoters....that's the reason JMM couldnt get into big fights...until he fought pac.

 

Morales offered JMM the biggest payday of his life and he turned it down, so cut the bull****

 

Your selective memory is ****.

"In 2005 Marquez rejected an offer from Top Rank of $1.5 million to fight Erik Morales."

He ended up getting stripped of his titles and fighting Chris John for 30k

Hamed wasn't ducked. Barrera fought him and kicked his ass and he never recovered from it. If he had come back I am sure Morales would have been more than happy to kick his ass also. Unlike like all the real fighters around those weights at the time he couldn't handle a loss while the others guys were happy to fight the best and win some and lose some.

 

Prime Hamed was simply untouchable. It was a tragedy that Hamed allowed himself to deteriorate so badly in the two years leading up to the Barrera fight

 

I very much doubt it. Hamed was horribly shot by the time of the MAB fight. He hadn't even trained properly for THREE years.

 

Wow the haters know no end.

First it was he ducked pac to face chris john, then Morales to face Chris john...


Divac owns you all. :deal

 

Is this what british tell themselves to make it trough the day????


HAHAHAHA


To each their own.

Barrera also, losing to Morales and moving up in weight to 126 for the first time.... he was a fat out of prime barrera who was not at 100% or he would have KTFO the undefeated unprime Hamed instead of punishing him for 12 Rounds. :yep

 

How much did they offer Marquez? Regardless of what you think of Hamed the boxer he was a star and that meant his fights made money. If I was Marquez I would want to be paid well for the fight.
As for Barrera ducking him. When he fought and lost to Junior Jones was considered to be every bit as good as Hamed who was just making a name for himself. By the time Hamed had his star making bout with Kevin Kelley, Barrera had lost twice to Jones and while he did win a world championship. He was considered something of a bust intell the first fight with Erik Morales in 2000. The Jones fights were in 96 & 97. 1996-2000 was when Hamed really started to make a name for himself.
Would the result have bee changed had they fought in the 1997-2000 range? I have my doubts. However mostly due to the fact that after he lost twice to Jones and intell he fought and lost a conterviseral decision to Morales, Barrera was a mostly forgoten man on the boxing scean.
