    Frankly, every fight that Pacquio takes that isn't Marquez is a duck in my opinion.

    But I agree he should look elsewhere if it just isn't happening. This is a tough, tough division though, and I think he will be doing very well to go unbeaten.

    I wouldn't like to see him rematched with Casamayor, personally.

    I agree McGrain Casa should fight Cruz before he gets back in the mix...Campbell or Diaz would be the best fight for Marquez

    Pacquiao is tied up for the rest of the year, and there are still 4 and 1/2 months left. It makes sense for Marquez to fight someone during the interim. Campbell, Santa Cruz would be best.

    It is about time he look for other better fights.

    If Pacquaio is after money now, it is not his loss.

    He should fight Campbell. Campbell has 3 belts and already whooped up on Diaz. That's the fight that makes the most sense. More than likely though, you'll see Marquez vs. Diaz. They're both with Golden Boy.

    I'd shell out some cash to watch Marquez/Diaz, not sure about Marquez/Campbell.

    Pacquaio is taking the big money, so to me you can't really blame him for that. It's just a shame, because I have no interest in paying to see him fight anymore. This Hoya & Hatton stuff is a joke, but the people get what they want.

    I don't know about this McGrain. Pac has already fought Marquez twice. A scoring error is the only thing stopping Marquez from being 0-2 against Pac. I don't see why he has to keep fighting Marquez when he has more lucrative options availible. And if Marquez isn't just concerned about money, like Pac, he should take Pacs short money offer for a trilogy.

    PAC like JMM don't duck people! People call it Ducking bc they want to see the fight. But they've squared off twice already and PAC won both so in PAC's eyes he's through, but I think the closeness of the two fights and the fans wanting to see a rubber match will entice PAC to square off with Juan again...BUT AFTER he tests his mettle against the BIGGEST names in boxing and fattens his pockets a bit more. With DLH and Hatton on the horizon how can anyone blame PAC for moving up, taking on bigger names, bigger challenges and getting paid to do so? All this "Ducking" talk is for the birds man b/c JMM is not more dangerous than DLH or Hatton!

    Marquez should fight Campbell and unify 135 before leaving.

    Pac is not ducking Marquez he won the rematch more convincingly. It was still close but easier to score.

    We could see here that Marquez is saying the more politically correct language, fearing his neck against his boss, the Golden Fishnets. Otherwise, he would've called and taunted Pac more viciously. (Hey, if he can chase, challenge, and insult Pac's and Philippine hosts' sensibilities all the way to his/their native country, it meant only Oscar stands in the way for another vehement challenge being issued after such an impressive victory...)
