HOLLYWOOD, FL, October 8 – Former world junior middleweight champion and current top ten rated middleweight contender Raul Marquez has gotten into the title mix at 160 pounds the old-fashioned way – he earned it – and now he wants to step into the ring as soon as possible with new champion Kelly Pavlik to determine once and for all who the best middleweight in the world is. <!-- m -->http://www.fightbeat.com/news_details.php?NW=20488<!-- m -->
Hmmm...He 'earned' it? Looking at his last 5 wins sincing getting beaten by Jermain, I'd say there are a hell of a lot of fighters who can say they 'earned' it, too.
I'm really torn on this one. On one hand, I just want a guy like Marquez to go away because I thought he was annoying in the past, including his job as a commentator. On the other hand, getting a fight with Pavlik could be the ticket to getting the first point done quicker :dunno:
There aren't many guys in the sport who will lie right to your face as often as Raul Marquez. Didn't Taylor STOP him? ::
Kelly is just pure murder in there. Pug should post the video of him in Houston two years ago, that guy as Jack Loew repeated for me is SCARY in person. There was no doubt in my mind he would stop Taylor. A Pavlik-Marquez bout has the makings of another possible ring fatality with Marquez being on the receiving end of the brutality and mayhem from the best offensive machine in the art today. Karl
Kelly Pavlik could SPOT Raul Marquez 10 Rounds & STILL KO him in LESS than 12... No Bullshit... REED WANTS to Fight Pavlik as Well...Just Show REED the Million Dollar Contract... REED
