    Pacquiao vs Marquez at 144 on Showtime PPV or Mayweather vs Ortiz at 147 on HBO PPV?

    PBF-Ortiz never seen that fight and we've seen Pac-JMM 2x already with that said that doesn't mean it wouldn't be a good fight.

    The last Pac fight was a waste of money. But I for sure will be entertained by the Pac-JMM more than the Floyd-Ortiz.

    Flip a coin then go from there. Although...if that wasn't allowed to choose by chance, I'd go with the one that was on HBO because I prefer the production quality of HBO. However being a Brit I'd have to watch the one on Sky...which would Sky choose?

    fuk me philla! tough choice tough choice.

    floyd vs ortiz is a mega competitive fight that would leave the winner demanded by everyone to fight pac.

    Pac vs JMM is two top 4 P4P guys taking each other on where both are likely to weigh the same come fight night.

    I chose pac vs jmm purely because it's the most realistic to happen.

    should have had an option for both providing you can time travel

    Those are two great fights. We know JMM-Pac have perfect styles for each other and will probably always have a great fight even if Pac is probably too big for him at this point.

    Floyd-Ortiz could potentially be a great fight, but Ortiz is still a question mark to me at this point. He could cause some problems or just be completely bewildered by Mayweathers smarts in the ring..

    Tough one to call... I'd buy both, DVR both, throw a party.. Food drinks and let everyone know this is an all nighter..

    PBF vs Ortiz based on the fact I believe it to be a more competitive fight and I enjoy HBO production far more. I believe Ortiz to be a legitimate threat to any 147 lb fighter, JMM has no business fighting about 140 and I don't view the JMM vs Pac fight as a real challenge for Manny.

    It's an even split, so far.

    Personally, I've never much cared for the way HBO does production. The fighters look like they're covered with shellac and it's like I'm watching a video game with the bloom cranked up and a badly ported camera, instead of watching two actual humans from an actual seat in the crowd.

    Do you reallise Pac will only weigh about 2-3lbs more than last time they fought? Marquez will pretty much weigh the same.

    Do you really think there's much difference?

    Anyway, as for the question - ****! That would be too hard - I'd have to toss a coin.

    Pac put a lot of muscle and carried his power up in weight. He is obviously bigger now than during the second JMM fight. I would watch Floyd-Ortiz as it features to fighters of the same size in or near their primes. I also give Ortiz some chance to beat Floyd unlike Marquez who I think is getting KOed this time

    Mayweather should easily outclass Ortiz.

    Pacquiao should easily overwhelm Marquez this time if it is indeed at 147.

    I guess I'd tune in to Pac-JMM III but with the reach of my hope for a competitive match exceeding the grasp of my expectations for one.

    There is little doubt as to the Mayweather-Ortiz result IMO. Another master class. Beating Berto in a war does not make you an awesome force at WW, or mean that you can hang with PBF.

    Pac - JMM III without a doubt. First two fights were great and a third could be just as good or better. Not to mention Marquez is my favorite active fighter.

    And I have a feeling Ortiz - Mayweather could be another mismatch. I'm not too interested in seeing Ortiz offered up as a sacrificial lamb for Floyd.
