Casual talk from Hollywood, California – Manny Pacquiao versus Shane Mosley would just be more intriguing than just having the Chilango take another shot at the Filipino phenom. And I tell you Marquez vs. Pacquiao III is not just negligible, but, to some, it’s garbage!
Yes, it’s garbage!
Pacquiao, 32, the eight-division world champion and the first boxer in history to win ten world titles in eight different weight divisions, has nothing to prove against Juan Manuel Marquez who has not truly traveled the same treacherous path that he has had in his lifetime as a professional boxer. And why should Pacquiao stoop down to the level of Marquez when he has already gone up far above than any boxer at his current weight class?AdChoices
And let me tell you this: Any mercenary writer who continues to blow blindly upon the unlighted wick of his candle would only find his lips dried up by the pressure of nothingness.
Marquez Vs. Pacquiao III is garbage!
Rather, it’s certainly not indispensable! And pushing for a Marquez vs. Pacquiao trilogy somehow is just potentially giving more business to a funeral home in this time of economic meltdown.
For the sake of sanity, don’t get Marquez, 37, killed in the ring this time. Monstrous punishments would just be too much for Marquez to bear if ever such third encounter will happen. Boxing is not about killing someone in the ring. It should not be an avenue to end one’s life for the sake of money and others’ overriding interests. The Pacquiao who fought Marquez in 2004 and in 2008, whereby the first encounter was adjudged as a draw and the second a split decision in favor of Filipino phenom, was just the wild one who only relied on his own power and was thought by many as just a one dimensional fighter.
Now, Pacquiao is a complete fighter and too powerful and even too slick a ringmaster, beating bigger guys who are not in the comfort zone of Marquez,. And Pacquiao insurmountably did his trek upstairs by increments of three titles (WBC lightweight title, WBO welterweight title and WBC light middleweight title) since his rise from the super featherweight, which Marquez never ever did. When Pacquiao ruled out a third clash with Marquez, saying, “I don’t think so. This business is over.”, Marquez has since suffered tremendous punishments even in the hands of Juan Diaz, most especially in their second fight, despite winning from their two bouts. Forget about his fight against the B minus fighter Michael Katsidis. Though his performance was impressive, it shone with less jewels. Another, his performance against the less powerful Floyd Mayweather, Jr. was even one of a lackluster. All these, Pacquiao should not stoop down to Marquez level.
And so disillusionment and disenchantment should be had on Marquez’s marketing strategist in view of not getting a fair consideration for a trilogy with Pacquiao. It’s like attempting to perfect a contract for another match between Pacquiao and Marquez is borne out of revulsion than just for pure sport and entertainment. And of course, the jealousy ride and exhorbitant demand for more money in favor of Marquez and his cohorts are both rather detestable.
I tell you: What is not garbage is a potential compelling fight for Pacquiao against Sergio Martinez at 154 before they both hang up their respective gloves?
I insist!
