Pick out interesting tune ups for Marquez and Pacquiao

JMM - Bradley

Pacquiao - Guerrero

 

JMM/Malinaggi might be a decent scrap.

 

Thanks, thought it was fitting. I didn't enjoy seeing Pac down like that, he's a likable little fella. Some of the photoshops being posted are quite tasteless, just my opinion.

 

When you said 'softer fights' you weren't kidding.

 

Pacquiao v Katsidis
Marquez v Garcia

If both come through it have a number 5!

 

Shouldn't Pacquiao be worried about his health now?

 

Pacquiao vs. Senchenko (they have the "we both knocked out Hatton" angle common...plus Senchenko is a fair technician - no Marquez, but he was known in the Ukraine for a long time as "mini-Volodymyr K...minus the power")

Marquez vs. Melligen (aggressive Filipino southpaw...but not cut from a bolt of the same cloth as Pacquiao. What lends some intrigue is that he's a big strong welter, but the gulf in skill should make it a "safe" tuneup and chance to shine...)

 

pacquaio v malinaggi....paulie deserves a payday...pension money.....from mannys point of view its a good run out against a fast capable boxer without any risk of a ko happening, be good for confidence, and its a world title, which would be a nice 'up for grabs' trinket in pacquaio v marquez 5..........it would be another bit of spin too for the promotion of '5'..."since they met last time pacquaio has once again become world champion"

marquez v senchenko......mcgrain made a good point earlier on another thread i thought....marquez has a style that causes pacquaio problems, but yet can not be effective against a lesser opponent...he'd need to be careful on a tune up fight that its not a style of opponent that could beat him, based on that i think senchenko would be a resonable blend of safe opponent, doesnt bang too hard (despite what hattons ribs might say) and is a recent champ coming off a win.

 

I can only imagine what Pacquiao would do to Katsidis. Would be horrific.

 

I mean, he was rather clear in the OP. :yep

 

Pac should fight Alvarado or Senchenko
Marquez doesn't need a tune up IMO he is 39 just have more big fights maybe Rios or winner of Garcia v Judah.
