Tragic news.

The guy had bags of potential and was already one of the most popular sporting figures in Ireland.

Very sad.

Looking forward to Floyd, thought he was a right numpty up until he fought Hatton but backs up all that mouth and showmanship every second he is in the ring

He's picked a classy opponent aswell. I'm not sure how well he'll go up in weight, but Marquez is one of the most skillful boxers out there. Even though Floyd is an awesome boxer, I think he'll get a bit of joy breaking his defences down as he throws quick and with variety.

I still think Fkloyd will win on points though.

I was not keen on him but my opinion changed on him. Think he is great and love the way he spouts his mouth off at times. He is quite funny

I think Floyd will win by stoppage, should be a good fight and it's free to watch

If he does fair play to him, Marquez is one tough cookie. Unlike Hatton, he took all of Pacquiao's best shots and fired back.

It's not on yet ffs

SPOILER Highlight

Mayweather was too comfortable. Marquez didn't get a clean shot all fight. It wasn't an embarrassment but Mayweather is in a different class, although using the word class around someone who mocks his opponents so unnecessarily is unfortunate.

And that whole act at the end was straight out of WWE. Shameful.

my reply (obviously in white too )
I wondered that to at the end. I aint a fan of boxing but watched it for the sake of it, and apart from his undoubted talents, he's a bit of a pr!ck and all the events and talking around the fight is just a bit sad and unnescessary...ironicly, he's the kinda person you really wanna smack, but obviously no one can get near him to do so haha
