    Good fight, I think. Know I would love to see it... But I really can't predict the outcome. 12 or 15 rounds. On neutral ground.
    Your thoughts, please.

    Great matchup. I am having trouble envisioning the outcome of that one, as well. Let me ponder that for a while.

    Both fan friendly fights. Gotta love the technical boxers who also put on a show. I think Azumah does Marquez, though.

    I don't know about this one. I can`t really picture it. Manny has that quickness with the lefthand. I think until your in the ring with him it`s hard to gauge his punches reigning in. Thinking about the Morales fight though. Maybe the Professor who was stronger `26 than Erik would be able to do something similar.

    If nailed down I`d lean toward Azumah Nelson on points.

    First thought is Azumah Nelson, he had the skills to catch Manny coming in. Good fight though

    Pacquaio had 4 fights with the consummate counter puncher
    Marquez and arguably lost nearly all of them. Marquez was not on the
    Professor's level and Azumah / Fenech rematch and Wilfred Gomez
    destruction was clinical and textbook.
    No Marquez robbery here as no need for judges.
    Azumah in late round stopped.

    What makes you say Marquez wasn't on Nelson's level? He accomplished more than Nelson.

    Pacquiao didn't really come into his own until 130. He'd be a pretty safe bet at that weight but at 126 would likely lose due to walking in straight lines with little head movement. Then again, he blew out Barrera in that form.

    I just keep envisioning Nelson making Manny pay for throwing that straight left off of one foot.
