    highly skilled, yet boring boxer. he needs someone to bring the fight to him to make the match interesting.

    Very high in the p4p rankings. On boxing skill and ability alone he has to be near the top. Beautiful counter puncher. I thought he beat Pac in their last fight and definitely left enough doubt in even the most ardent Pac fan to deserve a rematch. How he will be viewed in the future depends a lot on how he sees out his remaining career. If he cleans up at 135 then definite atg on the same level at least as Morales,MAB and Pac. He seems destined to always be viewed as notch below these perhaps due to his style being a lot less fan friendly than the others. Top top performer in my opinion.

    how highly?

    Let's just say I have him up 2-0 against the so-called best P4P fighter in the world.

    Good fighter. I dont think he deserves to be high on P4P lists but he gives the elite fighters problems.

    arguably the second best fighter in the world. Really a great fighter. No shame in losing to Manny Pacquiao who is a true ATG.

    I expect him to beat Casa rather easily

    You do not need to KO or TKO your opponent to get a "W" in boxing. In my opinion JMM is 2-0 against PacMan. In the judges opinion, he is 0-1-1. At the very least, he should have gotten a draw in the second fight. He not only neutralized the "new and improved" PacMan, he scored more points throughout the whole fight. Unfortunately for JMM and his fans, his work was not appreciated by the judges and didn't get the decision. Not the first time nor the last time we will see that in boxing.

    I'd be surprised if he beats Casa easily. Casa is not only crafty, but he has a ton of experience. He may be on his last legs as far as boxing goes, but he is the "naturally" bigger man. Add skills and his pretty decent power, and that may trouble JMM more than what people think. It may very well turn out to be one hell of a stinker because neither fighter is very good at being the leading man (pressure fighter).

    One of the best fighters in the game today who deserves much credit for every single one of his fights.

    I just don't understand why Manny Pacquiao fans always use the fact Marquez was knocked down four times in two fights as a counter-arguement. It's as if they think we didn't include those in our scoring when we came up with different results to the judges. Marquez outboxed Manny after the initial rounds in both fights, so I may aswell say...

    "At the end of the day, Pacquiao was outboxed for the majority of 24 rounds already. I mean Pacquiao is claiming to have defeated Marquez, if he really wanna get the W next time he needs to stop getting beaten to the punch, and hit flush with right hand after right hand."

    You see my point.
