MANILA, Philippines – Sumama na rin si Mexican boxer Juan Manuel Marquez sa mga nananawagan na maituloy na ang bakbakang Manny Pacquiao at Floyd Mayweather Jr.
"As a fan, I think the fight should be done and stop the bickering, and the talk of who wants to earn more than the other, and vice versa,” wika ni Marquez kay Salvador Rodriguez ng ESPN.
“The most important thing here is that the fight should be done and stop this nonsense talking and give the fans what they want and make it clear who is who.”
Parehong nakalaban ni Marquez sina Mayweather at Pacquiao kaya naman may ideya siya kung sino ang mas matikas.
"For me, Mayweather is not a puncher. He's best in defense, and he's very fast. That's what hurts Pacquiao. He handles punches very well and has a good timing, which are important and can be very harmful to Pacquiao's weapon," paliwanag ng Mexican boxer.
Sinabi pa ni Marquez na walang dapat ikabahala si Mayweather dahil mananaig naman siya kontra kay Pacquiao.
"He (Floyd) would win not by knockout but on points, but he would need to see the speed and power of Pacquiao. Although we know that defensively Mayweather is the best in the world, he is listed as the best pound for pound.”
