    Then why did he fight for a 154lb belt if he can't make 154?! :patsch So Pacman, who I don't blame, but his team think he's too small for Sergio, but not Margarito? Sergio's never weighed more than 162 and fought Pavlik and Dzinziruk at 158-159. Pacman's fighting guys between 140-147 yet it's not okay for Sergio to fight guys between 154-160? :lol: That's some straight up bull****.

    What weight disparity . . . if there is . . . it's very minimal.

    Marquez is 135 pounder . . . and Pac has been weighing at 144 to 145 lbs for his welter weight fights . . . so they can meet at 140.

    I'd rather that he fight Marquez than Martinez.

    and the 2nd fight should've been made immediately after their first fight, only Marquez rejected it to fight chris john in indonesia for 30k. why don't you hold that against him?

    pac moved up 3-4 divisions immediately after their rematch to take on fights and challenges no-one fought he could win at the time. Now is the only opportunity Marquez has had to secure a third fight.

    And what does he do?.. he's using it as leverage to negotiate a new deal with golden boy and recently said people probably don't want to see a third fight anyway. If he doesn't take the Pac fight now, you all will be shut up for good

    Fact is JMM and Pac are not in the same division. Pac should fight Welterweights unless he wants to do a permanent move down to 140. Not go up, down, up, down... it's not good. He's fought his last 4 fights (i'm including Mosley) at the 145-150 limit range. Either he moves back down to 140 long term or keeps fighting at his current weight.

    might seem like it doesn't make a difference cause he weighs in around 144 but it does because his body is training to be optimal against WWs. Fighting at 140 and then going back to fighting 147pounders in his next fight is not a smart move.

    Marquez doesn't want any part of a prime Pacquiao. He split two fights against a still green Pacquiao, would he really want to get his head taken off by a prime Pacquiao now in the twilight of his career? Really???

    You stupid ****.

    Marquez on the driver's seat?? :rofl

    Marquez weighed 145 at fight night against Katsidis. Pac weighed 148 on fight night agaisnt Margarito. A difference of 3 lbs. They are of the same size. Fighting Pac at 147 will actually benefit JMM becuse then he doesn't have to cut weight. Remember, Pac is not the type of welter that balloons up to 160+

    Arum already said this a couple of months ago. Interestingly enough, now that Arum says that he is the next logical opponent for Pac, JMM suddenly releases a statement saying that nobody really wants to see a Pac vs JMM 3. Just recently he was saying Pac was ducking him for saying the exact same statement... Now that he has a very realistic chance to walk the talk, he suddenly agrees with Pac's statement? WTF

    Possible next three Pac opponents:

    * JMM

    * Cotto/Margo winner (If Cotto wins) -- rematch

    * Cintron (just signed with Top Rank)

    Arum has said that Pac has like 5 more fights left. That would be three opponents of the five.

    One name isn't on that list. Arum isn't talking about him, either. That fight is getting more and more distant every day, it seems.
