    Short of your run of the mill dictator I can't recall many people I've felt deserved to be dead. However when it comes to Arum I have to admit I'll probably stand and applaud the day I hear he croaks. The guy is an absolute cancer to the sport and his ego is far worse then Floyd's. He'll actually cost himself money to spite others, and he'll do things that benifit him, even at the detriment of the sport.

    I'm willing to bet DeBoef is just as big a doosh-bag as Arum.

    Thing is, Schaefer's obviously a doosh-bag as well.

    It's hard to believe there's no collusion between GBP and TR. At least when it comes to Pacquiao/PBF, there has to be.

    I think even at his worst, Pacquaio would knocked out Marquez if they went to 15. Marquez had no LEGS in the championship rounds.

    Pacquaio had a gameplan for the fight, it just wasn't the one he was fighting in. He fights on the inside with Cotto, stands in and trades with Margarito, stops the bullrushing Hatton and yet does no body work on Marquez? He was building the foundation for somebody else.

    Perhaps it's time for Pacquaio to take some time off, something like 16 months, concentrate on his public servant position, training, no sparring. Fight Marquez a 4th time in his comeback fight, then fight an ACTIVE Mayweather, like in May 2015.

    What are his conditions? A 60/40 split in favour of him?

    I'd rather see Pacquiao face Bradley.

    at 4:46 of the video Marquez said that Arum told him after the fight "don't worry its business"...Marques then said he felt like bitch smacking him for that comment.

    JMM is tripping talking about the 4th fight should be in Mexico and he wants to add a 4th Judge to monitor the other judges :laughing: Nacho wants 25 million for a 4th fight too.:notallthere:

    I've always been a JMM fan but he is over doing it with this shit. I heard he and Nacho are going to try to over turn this into a No Contest and want to get the 3 judges banned for life.

    I can understand from his point of view fighting Pacquiao 3 times and coming up short all three he will feel like it's personal that he can never get the w.

    but this was no way a robbery. it was a close fight for either guy.

    All 3 of the fights were close so why he is acting like such a robbery is taking place is beyond me. If anything he needs to be a bit more understanding that judges usually are going to favor the more aggressive fighter in a close fight, and all 3 of those fights were exactly that.

    If the idiot hadn't allowed himself to get dropped 3 times in one freaking rd he would have won the first fight easily.

    Obviously, JMM is as delusional as many of those watching the fight when it comes to how well he performed. From listening to him, you'd think he dominated the fight.

    He didn't win the fucking fight, let alone dominate it. If he's this removed from reality, he should fucking retire. Jesus. He fought a good fight, but he didn't win.

    JMM needs to get his ass back to 135 and fight Brandon Rios. Pac needs to either fight Mayweather or Bradley. Nobody wants to see a 4th fight.

    if marquez fights rios it should be at 140lbs. he should not drop below 140 under any circumstances at this point.

    Not sure why you think this, but what ever 135-140 either works for me.

    agreed.

    Marquez at 135 = Roy Jones post-Ruiz.

    No he's a lot different. Arum makes your average sleazy promoter look like a saint by comparison.

    a victory over rios would be excellent and only add the legacy of the great juan marquez. if he can get as motivated as he was for saturday night then he can win

    JMM is too technical for a crude guy like Rios. I think he schools Rios.

    I think there is a chance Rios could catch him early. Diaz in the first fight I think it was actually rocked him pretty good when he caught him against the ropes. Rios hits a lot harder than Diaz. It would be a damn good fight though and would tell us a lot about Rios. I'm not sold on the guy quite yet.

    that's the problem, he is talking Pacquiao or nothing. He really believes he was robbed against the pfp best. So anything else he looks at it like a waste of time.

    At this stage Rios is a hard fight for JMM. He would have to get up for this big time. I don't think he can. Which is why even Katsidis gave him a rough time.

    True. He's taken his fair share of beatings already, no need to risk his health any further. He can retire happily in Mexico. He's set for life if he's smart with the money.
