Kats is the 4th ranked LW in the world, he's not a B class fighter by any means. I'm a Soto fan, but he does NOTHING better than JMM. Nothing at ALL. And there are quite a few things he doesn't do nearly as well. JMM doesn't need to 'earn' a shot at Pacquiao, he's already done that, several times over. The only mystery about a Soto - JMM fight is whether Soto gets stopped or makes it to the bell. He has NO POWER at 135 and he's not the boxer that JMM is.
These are the fighters at 130 or 135 that Marquez should have fought (call that ducked) but didn't and would not: 1. Soto 2. Chris John (his tormentor) 3. Joan Guzman
the fact he went down to kat tells me that maybe he needs to fight smaller guy like maidana instead of pac u can tell alot by a man previous fight like oscar getting his ass kick by sterum noway should he had been in there with hopkins so soon get use to the weight guys
jmm's fight night weight has been in the 140's. with his age he should stop this dehydrating and rehydrating crap.
JMM would take him to school. He would land everything he throws against Maidana. And if Pac can put him on the canvas 3 times in one round and still not stop him, I wouldn't bet on Maidana stopping him.
if you guys believe that maidana will KO marquez, then why push for a 3rd pacquiao fight? pac vs bradley for me....
then GBP should make this in-house fight and let jmm prove himself at 140 first to make pac-jmm more feasible at 140 or 147.
