    JMM by UD or maybe even a mid-to-late stoppage.
    Pac is gonna fight Hatton if everything goes well.

    I'm a big JMM fan, but it doesn't make sense that he get the ring title after one fight, especially against Casa. Not saying that he doesn't deserve a title shot after his recent performances, but the ring title should be assigned only to undisputed champs and there's too much talent and too many questions at LW.

    Personally, I hope JMM stays at LW and fights another three fights before he retires. He should stop stubbornly chasing Pac, who a win against would not say anything that hasn't already been said about his skills vs Pac's.

    I would love to see a third fight between the two.. I had Pac winning in both fights, but they were both really close.. Pac would definitely be more fit and stronger at 135 and I think would fare a lot better than he did in the second fight.. The only thing is, JMM & Casa are fighting September and Pac might already have another fight scheduled by then..

    I disagree.

    Juan Manuel Marquez has fought Pacquiao twice now, and both times outboxed him. He needs to get in the ring and stay on his feet, if he does that, he will win the fight comfortably. Plus, it'd be an unbelievable spectacle.

    I never thought I'd hear a JMM fan say that.. JMM will keep chasing Pac though and Pac will give him the fight, just not right now..

    I didn't say the matchup wasn't great, I just meant that we already know that JMM is the better boxer and that he outpoints him if he stays on his feet. And if he wins a third fight, he's still only 1-2 against him. Plus, Pac probably won't take the 3rd fight anytime soon, he has his eyes on hatton - bigger payday, easier fight.

    I think it'd do more for his legacy if he moves on from pac and becomes undisputed at 135 (which can only be achieved if pac moves up of course)

    They're talking about a possble fight between Pacquiao & Hatton on Jan. 5, but they said they're not in any rush.. I wouldn't say it'd be a easier fight though, seeing as it'll be at 140.. I'd say it'd just be as hard seeing as how Pac had to deal with JMM & his great tech skills while with Hatton he'll have to deal with that aggression and power that Manny himself has.. It may be like two trains colliding..

    definitely. But one train has a lot more engine gunk and is not running as well as it used to. I think pac hits him too many times for Hatton to stay on his feet.

    I see JMM winning this one. If ever CASA pulls an UPSET
    - I hope it's really CONVINCING win!
    - I hope there will be no admitting of a judges error next time which could have resulted a different result especially if the fight is close
    - If JMM loses I HOPE we would not hear negative comments about the judges coz it has became a tradition that judges are corrrupt/incompetent if some fans does not like the outcome/results of the fight

    MAY the REAL better boxer win!

    Marquez by comfortable decision. He may even get a late stoppage through heavy accumulation.

    1-1-1 record would actually give a very good record of how these 2 men fares against each other. I do think that if they have enough fights, you will have some fights where Pac knocks JMM down and manages to keep him down, and some where JMM stays on his feet all through the fight and win a wide UD. I think the 2 are very evenly matched in their own way.

    attention divac:

    As soon as the judges are revealed pls pls pls investigate and see who have history of being corrupt and incompetent asap coz we don't want to hear the judges are corrupt and incompetent if CASA pulls an upset.

    If JMM wins. CONGRATS!
    If JMM loses....

    I'm just telling you ahead of time so I would not hear the same comments about the judges EVERYTIME you DON'T like the results..
