    I agree that in the end Pacquiao was not good enough to beat JMM convincingly. I feel that its mostly down to the fact that JMM has the perfect style to beat Pacquiao, but that is just my opinion.

    You think the hardcore Pac fans want nothing to do with JMM. Well I can't speak for the hardcore fans, but I'm quite sure the regular Pac fans like myself would love to see a third fight.

    hmm... i for one want both of them to fight other opponents in the meantime. that's why jmm should fight either casa or campbell to set up an eventual unification fight w/ pac @ 135. pac already has plans down the pipe w/ diaz and possibly even hatton. jmm should also do the same and take on other champs. :good

    Id pick him over Campbell & Casamayor so both fights would be a good move for him and both would easily demand a rematch with Pac. I think a lineal belt from Casamayor tempting Pac to go for a 4th lineal would be a good move. I also see him beating guzman & Valero. This guy is now a big name after his fights with MAB & Pac, he can get paid decent without Pac.

    qft

    Campbell, Guzman, and Casa are all big fights for Marquez and all fights that I would tip him to win. Campbell imo would be the toughest of the bunch.

    Valero, he would beat, but its not a big fight.

    Id like JMM to fight Guzman..I feel that hes the perfect guy to end the Joan myth...If JMM fights as teh agressor..I see him knocking this clown the **** out...Believe it!..Pac has better D than Guzman..I see Guzmans head doubling in size after this...Soto and Barrios was able to hit him unless hes on the bike and those two are turtle slow

    actually, JMM fights at 130, not 126.

    but even at 126 he would have 2 good challenges in Linares and the Chris John rematch

    the lower divisions are stacked, except for 118

    To me this is what people dont take into consideration when giving Pac credit as a once in a lifetime fighter.. JMM was his kryptonite and still was able to squeak by. If you know boxing style..PAC was tailor made..I mean custom made for JMM

    JMM has to keep himself busy. There's just too many Bigger fights for Pac on the Horizon. Fight with Hatton, DLH, Khan & PBF are definitely are much bigger than JMM fight.

    While pac is busy, JMM should just take HBO money fight with Guzman, Valero, or whoever at 135. He definitely gained a following after his gutsy fight with Pac. Make the most of it.

    Take the rest of the year off!? Time is running out on Marquez. Casamayor is the best bet to pick up a belt & wait for a Pac. fight. Or a big payday against Khan in England could be another possibility. Either way you slice it, He only has two or three goods fights left. & they have to be soon.

    imo Casa is the best risk/reward fight for anyone at 130-135

    The best fight for JMM is Casa or Nate Campbell. Fighting Valero and Guzman won't help his stature. He is not getting any younger so he should grab the best opportunities.

    Beating Casa or Nate at 135 would ensure a third fight with Pacquaio.

    Khan? Pac would obliterate him inside 3 rounds, probbaly inside the 1st. Khan is titlist material but thats it.
