This is the fight I would've loved to see. So...who was the one dodging? Or was it just never negotiable?
It could have been a case of too much risk for no reward at all with many better options out there for Morales. Everyone does it. The man doesn't hire a team to pick the best options for him if cheers of the fans paid the bills.
Morales didn't give Marquez the fight because Morales was a big fighter taking huge fights and Marquez didn't have that big name that Morales needed.
