    I'm starting to think Pac's next opponent will not be anyone we have previously thought.
    (Not the fighter's fault, But the team is in some heavy $ now)

    Sure, but even if JMM loses to PBF, Pac should fight a rubber match to settle the score. After all, both fights were contreversial.

    They will fight the winner of this one I'm sure of it, just making it clear that they won't consider Marquez at all if he loses his next fight for an obvious/fair reason.

    That's for sure, If JMM loses he is out of the Pac sweepstakes, Unless Pac get's polished in his next fight.
    (Then maybe still a chance..)

    Still too much in-between to convince me this fight will happen.
    right now this is boxing's version of "Detox"

    Nah.. i asked if it interested you MORE than PBF-Pacquiao (I mean you did say Marquez3 is the fight that "MOST interested" you).

    The amount of bad decisions we've had over the years in boxing is ridiculous. Even the last 7 or 8... it happens far too often.
    The judges often don't know what the hell is going on & score from the perspective of an untrained-eye! Especially when it comes to COUNTER-punching.


    JMM may actually be dwindling right now. He's looked good, don't get me wrong.. but he hasn't looked AS FLUID as when below 135. You can put it down to the way that he fought both Casamayor & Juan Diaz in a manner favourable to both of his respective opponents.. and beat them at their own games!....but there's still that possibility he is beginning to slow down, look at his age!.. he was never a super-athlete, either!



    Pacquiao-Marquez 3 @ 140 or above... I would actually pick Pacquiao for the first time!... though let's just wait n see what goods The Great JuanManuel can bring to the ring on July 18th.

    They're doing an amazing job of keeping people waiting and excited, that's their plan in my opinion while they wait for the winner of Pac/JMM. There's no way Arum will make Pac's last fight against the winner of Cotto/Clottey as people would be disgusted by the decision. Think it's fair to say EVERYONE would prefer Pac fighting Mayweather/JMM winner and that fight is only two months away so waiting for Pac is the best decision.

    THE FIGHT HAS NOT OCCURED BUT YOU ALREADY HAVE A READY EXCUSE!!!!

    Actually I'm worried more about the BLIND boxing fans than the blind judges!

    So it means if JMM losses by SD judges are certified Blind! :dealBut if JMM wins by SD, judges are fine , great and professional?!:deal

    You miss the point...
    Counter-punchers have always suffered on scorecards... ESPECIALLY when facing fighters who throw 10-12 more punches per round than they do (adds up to 100 more over the fight).


    The really appreciate a counter-fighter you have to have a good set of eyes... unlike Harold Lederman.

    If Floyd decisions Marquez in boring fight, he loses his leverage in the bargaining table. It will only increase Pac's stock as the most exciting fighter boxing fans want to watch. Pac will fight him if the price is right. If not, Pac will skip him and fight more exciting fighters like Cotto and Mosley.
