    Holy ****, anyone would have thought Marquez had an easy time with Katsidis last time out.

    Arum protecting Pac against JMM and Berto is illogical. He has just fought and beaten 3 guys that would beat JMM and Berto head to head.

    Yeah, well Pacquiao cutting down to LW probably isn't gonna happen. It's not a bad idea, because he could nab that ring title, but I have doubts about his ability to get that low now and I just don't think Marquez would be competive even there really.

    It should have been the other way around, marquez vs pac at 140 and and mosley vs berto winner faces pac.
    I guess on the other hand if marquez isnt capable of beating berto at 147 whats the point of fighting pac at 147, he is never going down 147 at this point and marquez needs to prove he can handle someone at 147 otherwise i rather see berto next.

    Yes and at 147.

    Any weight. This two were made for each other. As long as JMM doesnt bulk up for 147 he will be fine. The difference in size between these two on fight night is only 2-3 pounds.

    Even if you look at the weight difference for the 2nd fight it wasnt much different than now. I think JMM was 142 and Pac 147.

    "oh but he is so much better now"

    Thats exactly what they said before the second fight....

    THIS IS BS. All Arum is doing is using one threat to eliminate another threat. And there's no guarantee either will get a shot at Pac after.

    U just can't explain how Arum stuck Manny with Mosley after fighting an exposed fighter in Margarito. This is the recognized #1 P4P fighter in the world, and all he can do is keep fighting shot, old fighters. Classic :D

    Well Arum has a point. Pac is fighting at Welterweight. If JMM wants to keep calling out Pac then prove you deserve a WELTERWEIGHT shot. Last time at Welterweight JMM was dismantled. Truth is JMM wants another shot at Pac on JMM's terms. Pac is the pound for pound king, if JMM wants a shot at him then earn it. Stop fighting dudes like Diaz and Katsidis and fight guys that show you deserve a shot at the Welterweight title.

    Go back in time, This would be exactly the same as when Hopkins was a middleweight. Imagine if Hopkins kept demanding Jones to come back down to Middleweight to fight him even though Jones had moved on to light heavyweight. You don't seek a rematch and then demand a guy come down to your weight when you are the man already at the higher weight. It makes no sense. JMM needs to move up or shut up.

    You just about covered it. Everyone wants to see Paq. fight Berto or Marquez. Why shouldn't these two guys earn the right to fight Paq. Manny cannot fight every name that someone throws at him. These guys should be earning their shot. ( Bradley and Alexander) are putting theirselves in a good position right now. Manny fights at 147. You want a fight .. then go to 147. After Mosley , there is only Berto left at 147. He would have beaten all the big names except Mayweather.

    yeah that sounds good........and you guys say JMM was dismantled when he went to welterweight, BUT look at who he fought !!....floyd would dismantle all besides pacman'....thats not really a good stick of measurement,....i think arum just HOPES jmm exposes berto so then maybe he would pit pac against him'.....since then berto would be fitting the pacman fight requirements of being totally destroyed or dominated in your last fight
