Comments Thread For: Marqus Bates, After Late Start, Feels He Can Go Very Far in The Sport

Marqus Bates doesn't need boxing.

There' no story here. I think the site is just trying to fill up a page. When I say "no story" I really mean there are 10 million stories like that, and all nearly the same. He had no choice. He had EVERY Choice, why doesn't he be satisfied enough to just say that he was stupid and brainless and did what he wanted to do at that time.

Why there's a story about an ordinary palooka with 3-4 losses out of 12-13 , I don't know..

Way to crap on a man who turned his life around after making mistakes in his youth.

Agree with ShoulderRoll. It isn't an unusual story in boxing but its a decent story & Marquise has shown far more heart & courage than I think I could ever do. I doubt the man will achieve that much in boxing but then people said that about Freddie Pendleton & about Dennis Andries & they was wrong. Never know.
