If the Mayweather fight doesnt happen then I wouldnt mind seeing him fight Williams evn though I think Pac will batter him.
A farewell fight against Marquez sounds good to me.. Though it's really a very big disadvantage for JMM to go all the way up to 140 for this fight plus his age, Pac will be criticised to pieces. I know that they were on par a few years ago, but with Pac's performances the past 2 years, JMM has grown to be a big mismatch by 2011. But will still be good for Pac to seal/close a criticised win in their 2nd fight, on a paper/resume standpoint. Then off to retire from the sport on that manner, onto his new career in congress.
If you think Pacquiao will fight anyone like Williams or Martinez you live in a fantasy world. Roach wouldn't even sanction Yuri Foreman as his jab was too good
After this fight. I'm not joking. It does. It was in the court papers, for the GBP legal case against Arum. Ever considered the fact that Arum possibly trashed the Mayweather fight, to make the Margarito fight, before he possibly lost Pacquiao? Could have happened.
I honestly think that its irrelevant who Pac fights now. If it's not Mayweather, it doesn't matter. Because that's the only fight that can enhance his legacy. All the other fights would simply solidfy what he has already achieved.
Man, if you listen to Bob Arum, I only see two possibilites (other than Mayweather) 1: Cotto 2: Margarito Arum has already stated quite clearly that Manny WILL fight Cotto again in 2011. At 154. He said the only reason it didn't happen in November is because neither guy had done anything there yet, and it wasn't sellable. Open up your eyes. Pacquiao vs. Margarito at 154..........I mean 150. Winner defends against Cotto at 154. Bound to happen
Man, that's plain stupid. Paul Williams and Sergio Martinez at 154 would surpass everything on his resume so far. He's never answered the Marquez question at all, finally. He's been beaten up in both fights. He's not beaten any real skilled fighter since Marquez exposed him a bit None of the above won't happen as he has a big chance of losing. Not because he can't be bothered.
How do you figure Mosely is shot? Pacquiao didn't wimp out of the bout in 2009, as he was confident of winning. Mosely struggles against skilled, cagey guys. He'd have a great chance against a little brawler.
That's the natural reaction for a Paclander who doesn't like hearing the truth. He did get beat up by Marquez, and came out of both fights with his legacy taking a hit. He's faced nothing but brawlers ever since. As Roach knows what guys he struggles with
There's no point to either of those fights. Mosley is shot, I don't think Marquez can give Pac a good fight anymore and there's really no point in a Cotto rematch. IMO he should go down to Light Welterweight and fight the winner of Bradley/Alexander.
Imagine if Floyd came out and said his next fight will either be: 1: The guy Pacquiao murdered 2 fights ago 2: The guy Pacquiao murdered in his last fight 3: A guy he's already murdered. He'd be called a complete coward. How does Pacquiao get away with this sort of fight?
