    No. It's not like Manny's rehydrating to a 10+ pound weight advantage, they'll be about the same weight in the ring anyways.

    Well Manny does leave a bit of time between his fights. Unless they get Marquez on board before Bradley...at the same time both would miss out on biggish paydays against Khan and for Marquez maybe Guerrero. Khan twittered that the Bradley fight isn't going to happen because Bradley had signed with Top Rank to fight Manny so I think that sort of implies that Bradley might be Manny's first fight. Marquez could maybe work a fight out with Morales who I think is a free agent and uses that to his benefit, then again I could be wrong and he could be a GBP fighter but I do think he is a free agent.

    I also think we may see a Mayweather fight early next year or at the end of this year after Manny's performance against Mosley.

    Manny ain't losing any respect for a welterweight fight with jmm. He didn't even lose any for fighting Mosley after back to back dismal performances. If he wants to prove to fans he wants to put on competitive bouts he should make the fight at jr ww where theyre both giving in a little

    the Khan Rumor is just him probably reiterating what everyone already knows... Bradley is waiting for his current promoters ties to end so he can try and land a PAC fight. It doesn't mean its confirmed. If the fight was confirmed ARUM is a loud mouth and would already be selling the fight.

    But as it stands, JMM is the number one priority. BRADLEY CARRIES no name, no following... nothing.

    Arum is gonna try his hardest to get JMM who carries the mexican fans, the amazing history with Pacquiao... and the 3rd meeting... everyone and Pilipino fans always talk about this fight at work... as they say it is the only guy that gave pac trouble and they always wanted to see it again.


    JMM is the priority. Arum is there to make money with Bradley there is none.

    That is what I'm not getting. Pac's camp act like he needs those catchweights because he is at a disadvantage. I guess they don't have much trust in his boxing ability. Why wouldn't they make it at 140? All they're doing is giving people another reason to discredit another fight.

    Yes he would. Pac jumped up 2 and even 3 weight divisions just to get away from Juan Manuel in the first place so making Marquez jump back up to his most terrible weight division just to get the advantage would be another cowardly move by Pac and his handlers.

    People need to stop injecting emotions in wanting and believing that their favorite fighter has any real chance against Manny. Unless Manny is fighting Mayweather at 147 or Martinez and Paul Williams at 154, everyone else will be totally uncompetitive. Whether its JMM, Bradley, Judah, Cotto or Ortiz doesn't matter. Everyone else ends up somewhere between a Hatton quickly KO'd or a Mosley's sad and dull survival show. What's the point if the fight's only competitive prefight in the minds of the promoters. I'm tired of all the prefight drama and hype, it's just a tease. The PPV'rs have taken all the risks in hoping for a good fight. It's time Top Rank takes a risk and actually tries to make a competitive fight for Manny.

    well I'll tell you this, If Pac struggles against JMM at 144 it is gonna look wrong.... Your MO is to take out big strong guys, yet you are stuggling with the LW king... Hmmm how'd that happen?

    The closer to 140 the more respect, the closer to 147 the least respect.. specially If JMM makes it interesting and he definitely can. But since PAC wants to stay sharp at WW it probably gonna be at 143-145... Which is not that bad... 147 would look totally wrong and PAC would be getting it from all angles.

    Please don't bother me with your bull**** philosophy. I've read enough of your past post to know you aren't worth the time. And just so you know, being the champ don't mean **** if the title ain't on the line.
