    Apparently, Roach claims Pac/Maquez 3 is an option for Pacquiao if the Mayweather fight falls through. Roach would want the fight at 145 lbs. because he says, "I like that weight for Manny". The Berto/Mosley winner is an option according to Roach. Presumeably, that fight would also take place at the newly created 145 lb. division.

    If this fight get's made it will be Pacquiao by late stoppage, Marquez looked real slow with no power at that weight.

    if they force marquez to fight them at 145 i would lose all respect for paquaio and roach, thats the most absurd cowardly thing ive ever heard, and i would think that would be Roach's doing because i think pac has the bravado to fight anyone at anyweight, but if this happened i would lump him together with roach

    LOL.....I actually don't want to see JMM and PAC. I mean....I'll watch it b/c PAC is always bringing excitment, but at the end of the day PAC is too big, strong, fast and dynamic for JMM. At any weight. JMM is on the slide and doesn't have the same kind of opponent in PAC that we saw the close fights. This is a massacare if it happens.

    I wouldn't fault PAC....I mean....JMM is the one who wants a 3rd fight. And JMM is the one looking for PAC...not the other way around. If PAC decided to go down to Jr WW and then made JMM fight at 145 that would be ****ed up. But PAC is looking to stay at WW.

    JMM is past it and it's a tough call to fight at higher weights at his career stage, that's why a Hatton fight makes more sense.

    Just fight Floyd, 50/50 split at the 147 limit and stop ****ing about Roach, you would think Roach was the bloody promoter the way he makes these demands.

    This fight won't be above 143. I'm sure of it.

    Ugh. This would be a complete farce.

    Marquez/Pac 3 needed to happen right after the second fight at 135 lbs. It's completely unnecessary at this point.

    Pac is not a Welter. He created his own division at 145 lbs. The WBC even created a belt for him at his new division.

    I'm not watching this fight. Who would like to see another JMM vs PAC III? Pac already beat him twice.
