    no chance. Marquez will not fight a guy that good since JMM will probably be favored. He will fight Pacman again, but not Rios. I don't think it will happen.

    Decent chance. I think JMM would prefer to fight Pacquiao again for obvious reasons, but it's feeling like he won't get the chance again, so Rios is a good alternative.

    45%? I don't know. Pretty good odds of happening, I think. I believe Arum wants Rios to beat JMM for the sake of Pacquiao being able to beat Rios @ 147 easier. And because it's one of the biggest fights he can make in house.

    Am I the only one that Prefers to have Lamont fight JMM at 140?

    Rios would be awesome.. but I think Legacy wise, if Peterson owns Khan again... Legacy wise Peterson might be the better man...

    Both great fights, and both I am paying for.

    The April 14 double header is supposed to be the prelude for their bout in July with winner likely getting Pacquiao in November.
