That may be true.....but after hearing so many times that Diaz was the choice, this is the first time that we hear that its JMM. That alone is cause for celebration! At the very least, we know that if the fight does'nt press through, its not because of the financial aspect of it, as it looks like both sides have agreed to terms! Its really in Pac's hands. I cant see him saying, nah, I change my mind again, its Diaz!atsch :!: Only Patsys who's afraid that JMM is fresher than Pac would be happy with that announcement!:deal
Thats not fair Tdog, you avatar outnumbers Carras' three to one, and they're all carrying belts with big buckles to use as weapons!:think
More good news, each day we get a step closer for this fight getting signed and ready. :thumbsup I just can't wait for March, it will be the month of the Marquez brothers. Whoever wins or loses, it will be an explosive month. Pac fanatics, start acting like real boxing fans already and hope this fight gets made, its a fight for the boxing world to see. I don't think anybody can recall from the top of their head the last time 2 of the top 3 best fighters in the world of boxing facing each other. Its beyond money. Its pride, honor, a score to settle. :smoke
if mayweather doesn't sign cotto as his next opponent, would you all agree with me that this is for p4p#1 fighter distinction?
Ricky Hatton could very well beat Mayweather in a couple of weeks..... ....if so, JMM-Pac could very well be for P4P supremacy!!!:bbb :yep
Not really. PBF just fought DLH and Pacquiao fought MAB. That's a wash, if not slightly in favor of PBF. PBF is now fighting Hatton. If he wins, Pacquaio beating JMM isn't going to move PBF from #1 unless it was a controversial decision. Sure JMM is rated higher than Hatton by most, but Hatton is still a P4P ranked prime unbeaten champion. Besides, PBF could fight the winner of Cintron/Williams and still not look too bad. Cotto is the #1 option obviously.
I don't think so, as long as its not another David Diaz then he will keep his spot. Cotto, Williams/Cintron winner, Margarito, and even Mosley are fine choices by me.
JMM is a better fighter than Hatton, period. Wrongfully P4P ranked, overrated and unbeaten doesn't match one of the more skillful boxer-puncher stylists of the generation, one who still looks pretty good also, I'm sorry. I know you want to glorify this coming Floyd win, but Hatton simply is not a true elite fighter.
if he fights cotto or williams, i have no problem with that. but keep in mind that pacquiao is staking much in this fight with marquez, who in my and others opinion, can really beat him even in such an advance age. marquez is p4p#3/4 guy in most of the fans list. and if the gap between mayweather and pacquiao is not that big, this fight is the way to do it. its not a barrera2 or morales3 anymore. pacquiao can really lose this time around.
Come on Amsterdam, remember Judah over Cotto, Freitas over Diaz, Peter winning by easy KO, etc, etc...??? :-( Hatton is a very dangerous opponent to be taken lightly. I will lean on PBF winning but it will be a hard earned victory.
