    He should go after Guzman. If he wins, a 3rd fight with Pac should be imminent.

    Arum better worry about Diaz ... if he makes a mistake against Diaz, he could find himself sleep on the canvas.

    Never say never ... we don't know how his chin holds up against the punch of a lightweight ... we don't know how his stamina/endurance will hold up ... and he's not going to miraculously have great boxing skills in a few months.

    Southpaw against Southpaw is a difficult fight as well ... can someone tell me when the last time PacMan fought a fellow southpaw.

    Its some bull**** ... because once pacquiao loses, there's going to be an excuse on why he didn't win ... "oh it was too big of a weight jump" ... "Diaz was just too big" ... "blah, blah, blah"

    For the record i'm non bias ... I had no money on the fight and I don't discriminate against fighters.

    I like fighters both the same ... i'm not a fan boy ... but when it comes to boxing skill -- I see the difference between the two. And I notice Pacquiao doesn't have any !!

    The Guzman fight is what I want to see therefore I voted for that, but I think the Arthur fight will be the last one in SFW for Joan then he moves up...

    JMM was always a FW fighter even in the MAB and PacMan fights. The only reason he should stay at SFW is to get prepared for Manny... but if the 3rd fight will be at LW, the best choice would be a smaller fight at 135. Something like JMM-Santa Cruz.

    But another good option would be a JMM-John rematch at SFW, in the US. Or fight Israel Vazquez, that's a huge PPV fight, family business, call it however you feel... Marquez is in a pretty good position IMO, while everyone will trash Manny for taking on Diaz instead of JMM for the trilogy, Maquez can say: hey, I wanted the fight, he wasn't - and fight a smaller fight.


    JMM vs. Guzman, John, Vazquez, Valero, Guerrero, Linares, Luevano, Gamboa... great fights out there...

    JMM - Guzman would be the better fight, but JMM - Valero would be the easier fight for Marquez, given that he is a textbook boxer with straight punches, which would make short work of Valero and his wide looping punches. Although, it could turn out ala MAB - Pacquiao I.

    Theres no reward for the risk fight Valero ... who can land a lucky punch and and JMM's night. Marquez has been shown to have a weakness for the straight left and Valero's straight left would kill someone.

    Valero's hooks are looping .... he throws his left straight ... he does paw alot with the jab as well ... but Valero has a solid chin and can take punches from the best of them.

    The worry is when a straight left from Valero lands ... who can stand tall against that ... he's going to land atleast one and for him thats all it takes.

    I seen him sparring against Santa Cruz and he hurt Santa Cruz with head gear on ... the truth is Santa Cruz is a lightweight/ light welterweight ... and Valero hurt him with training gloves and head gear on.

    Valero is no different from Pacquiao ... except he has more power and better balance.

    This is not proven yet.

    Mosquera hurt him in their fight, and we all know Mosquera is not a legit B-contender in any stretch of imagination.

    I can't wait for him to face a Juarez or Soto or even Bobby Pacquaio so we can actually see his potential.

    Valero has a solid chin and can take a punch ... yeah he's been down, but thats part of the business ...

    No matter who you're taking a punch from a solid punch is a solid punch, especially on the championship level.
