    Guerrero, Judah, Bradley, all good fights for his career that he could take in-between. I don't get why people say 'don't risk an upset'; if he gets upset by one of those fighters, he can't do well against Pacquiao. It's like Gamboa-Lopez; if one of the fighters hit a bump and lost, like Lopez did, well then he wasn't quite good enough (yet perhaps) for the super-fight as a super-fighter.

    I'd like to see him fight Guerrero and I think Robert would pull off the upset if it happened.

    If Khan-Bradley doesn't go through, Bradley would also be a great choice.

    I doubt they'll want to take on that much risk with a Pac fight all but guaranteed right now, though. The real wild card, out of left field choice would be to target Jan Zaveck and his 147 title to pump up the Pac fight that much more while giving him another fight to get used to 147.

    Khan and Bradley is taking on each other . . . so logical choice - Zab.

    Guerrero will be a difficult bruising fight, do you expect JMM to take those kind of fights before he fights Pac?

    Like Cotto, Clottey, Margarito, Hatton, and Mosley?

    Marquez has entirely diffrent level of bums to pick from - Katsidis, Casa, Juan Diaz twice.

    Jmm vs bradley at 140. Pac vs ortiz at 147. Winners meet.

    I doubt he'll risk a shot at this payday with PAC facing someone at 140 with a name like Zab, Khan, bradley, or Midana. Maybe EM, but that in itself is risky based on EM's last performance with Miadana.

    He should really think about fighting a real easy touch to ensure he doesn't lose that shot at PAC if he is in fact at the top of the list. JMM really has no business fighting above 135. He's simply not the same fighter.

    Guerrero is a beast and in this one i might bet on Guerrero. He has the size power and speed to give anyone trouble at 135-140. Maybe even 147.

    I have high hopes for this guy. He will rule LW if he chooses to and also be a top guy at 140.

    I think Rios would do best to avoid Guerrero.

    I say JMM should fight someone like Judah to prepare him for Pac. Also i think Judah breaks in the second half of the fight.

    Nope, it'd be dumb business to. Guerrero-Marquez is a fight worth watching, but if I were JMM's camp I wouldn't do it with a third Pac fight essentially in the bag.
