    Whom would you like to see Juan Manuel Marquez fight before facing Manny?

    "Well, I'll throw out three or four names. If he were to fight [WBC welterweight champion] Andre Berto, if he were to fight Joshua Clottey, or he could fight [WBO junior welterweight king] Tim Bradley, or he could fight [WBC and IBF titlist] Devon Alexander.

    Any of those four. And if he beats one of them, now he can say, 'I can compete at the higher weights with Manny Pacquiao.'"

    "So, the idea that Pacquiao won't fight Marquez is ludicrous. But to make it a real, attractive fight from a financial standpoint, then it's a different story. Marquez should fight a welterweight, beat a welterweight, and then he could say, 'Hey, now I'm one of you, Manny.'"
    -- Arum

    Arum has some valid points.. you don't get to have a chance to fight the pacmonster unless you prove you can hang on pac's fighting weight... and unless you're a Top Rank fighter :lol:

    Manuel can't fight at welter. Bobby knows that. 140, it is.

    why would pac want that fight at 147 if he's a catchweight star now...i mean, marquez and him would be nice at 135-140, no way in hell would this fight be fun at 147 ....****, especially with marquez losing speed

    Pacquiao-Marquez at 140 is the fight that should be happening in November. Not Margarito.

    Nonsense as usual. They should be fighting for a 3rd time at 140.

    I just don't see what Pac has to gain from beating Marquez at this point. Marquez is now smaller than Pac, old, and past his prime.

    Even if Pac KTFO JMM now, only their first 2 fights will matter.

    Marquez would have everything to gain, Pacquiao nothing to gain.
