Juan Manuel Marquez give credit to Manny Pacquiao comeback fight victory against Brandon Rios at Cotai in Macau. It was the first victory for the peoples champ after a devastating knockout loss to former four division champion Juan Manuel Marquez.
However Juan Manuel Marquez doesn't show any interest for the fifth fight against Manny Pacquiao. He will be returning to fight on April 12 but he wants a rematch against WBO Welterweight champion Timothy Bradley.
"It was important for Manny Pacquaio to look god, so they gave him an opponent like Brandon Rios
for his return and he looked impressive. I believe that Bob Arum is doing his job in getting him these types of opponents, but it will be important to see him face tougher competition and see how he looks against those kind of fighter after suffering a knockout." Marquez
But Marquez not much impressed with the fight of Manny Pacquiao vs Rios he believe that Rios was a tailor made opponent for him to make Manny Pacquiao look good. Marquez also say that people should not get carried away with Pacquiao return untill the fighter faces a stiffer competition.
" He never gave Brandon Rios the opportunity to connect with a solid punch, so we didnt get to see how Manny Pacquiao would react after that knockout." Marquez say.
"When Manny Pacquiao fights someone with speed and inteligence, someone who counters- Manny does not know what to do or what to expect. Brandon Rios lacks speed and inteligence inside the ring. He is a fighter who just moves forward and punches. And if you do not bring speed with you, you are going to lose against him." Marquez
