I really wanted to see a third fight between Pacquiao vs Marquez somewhere around 140, but if it's not going to happen, fights with Khan and Judah would be the most appealing..
Theres other things for Marquez, Pacs not his only way in the history books. If he can't get Pac at 140, he shouldn't take it. I'd love to see him in there with Khan as a farewell fight..
he can but arum will never let it happen, roach also said he will not le pac fight at 140 again. So we should assume it would be at 147 or at best a 144 catchweight.
Would like to see Marquez vs Judah. Not much left for him at Lightweight, can't see the Soto fight happening because of TopRank and I think Katsidis will take care of Guerrero. I don't think Linares has done enough to warrant a shot at the title, so his only option IMO is to move to 140 llbs. Zab looks like the most logical champion to go after.
I'm glad he's not staying put waiting around for Pacquiao. If GB offers him good fights, then let it be!
JMM knows his options...the money option is definitly with a 3rd PAC fight but the outcome will more than likely hurt his legacy with a dominating loss. With Golden Boy he can get 3 or 4 fights under their promotional compnay, make almost as much and got out winning, therefore strengthening his already GREAT resume. My thing is this.....Oscar said he was willing to step aside to let JMM fight PAC. Doesn't look like he's sticking to his word at the moment. Why not just let JMM out of his contract and re-sign him after the PAC fight?
Anything above 135 for JMM is a discredit to him. He isn't the same fighter he is when he's fighting at his ideal wieght. PAC could go down to Jr WW but PAC's not seeking a 3rd fight with JMM having bested him two times already. He's entertianing the idea of a 3rd fight but it's JMM who is seeking a shot at redemption therefore PAC isn't looking to move down in weight. I think he should simply b/c there's less risk at Jr WW for him and it's his ideal wieght.. But PAc is looking for the money fights and the bigger, tougher challenges.
I think it might be posturing from Team Marquez. Building up the notion that JMM is old and very beatable yet still a credible fighter isn't a bad idea considering Team Pac has picked on Margarito and Mosley. Win or lose Marquez is a badass. I have no idea why Mexicans choose to worship a green fighter like Canelo when JMM has won more rounds than Pac in their two fights. You should be deemed a legend just for being able to get back up from Pacquiao's knockdowns. Just sayin.
