    PAC VS JMM III at 140 for the LINEAL CHAMPIONSHIP

    To me, its a no brainer. Floyd has been retired for 2 years and should be fighting WW's anyways, as should Cotto and Mosley. Neither of those guys have fought below WW in many years. Meanwhile Pac and JMM have no business fighting above 140 as shown by their catchweight demands and previous weigh-ins.

    Instead of JMM vs PBF and Pac vs Cotto/Mosley, I would rather have seen Pac vs JMM and PBF vs Cotto/Mosley. That would have been ALOT better! All this division hopping is creating too much of a **** storm anyways and its reached a point where no matter what happens, the winner of any fight will get discredited.

    Pac vs JMM is p4p#1 vs p4p#2 and also the lineal LW champ vs the lineal LWW champ.

    PBF vs Cotto/Mosley is the former WW champ against the current WW champ

    I would have to agree with you there, if pacman wants to fight for a WW Title he should fight at the weight.

    i think you posted this in the wrong thread cause that's not what i was saying at all

    I'm saying that the best fight in boxing right now is Pac vs JMM for the JrWW championship

    Yea I definitely agree. Theres plenty of work to get done at their own respective weights. Pac and Marquez have had two close fights and one more is needed or at least wanted. Well Floyd, who hasn't wanted to see him against Mosley or Cotto for the past 3-4 years.

    I don't mind these catchweight fights. But with each guys still having big fights in their comfort zone theres no need for it. I would have loved to see Pac=Marquez3 winner facing off against Floyd=Mosley winner.

    Money is the dominant factor in all these potential match ups. Yes it makes sense that Pacquiao and Marquez settle their score in a weightclass that is more natural to them and simple to make, whilst at the same time Floyd be matched against two welterweights that deserve their shot.

    But these can be easily disregarded when you consider that two of the greatest fighters of the past decade are only a few pounds apart from each other. Those other bouts can be temporarily put on hold, to allow for a mega fight between the current and former P4P king.

    :lol: now Mosley is gonna fight Pac at 140 and it just gets worse and worse.

    In an ideal world: Pac vs JMM at 140, Cotto vs Mosley II for undisputed WW status, and PBF vs Berto as a tuneup.

    Void could have had the fight with Pac, but he refused/same with Cotto, Mosely, Margarito etc.

    Why should Floyd who weighs less than Pac be fighting WWs?
