What should JMM's next move be?

Go back to 135.

 

He's not going to achieve that much at Lightweight. He's already been the unified champion and beaten the best guys in the division. And he's not young enough to be able to sit it out there until a big name comes along.

I don't see him doing well above 135, either. He looked very sluggish and weak vs. Mayweather, and that was him coming in just a couple of pounds above 140. Against the top guys, I think he struggles for athleticism.

There's nothing left for him to do. The Mayweather loss is no shame. He needs to retire and relax. And then use that brilliant brain to become a trainer.

 

After tomorrow night the public at large will demand JMM-Guzman. So either make that fight or retire

 

Fight Hatton, and if he cant win that fight he has the option of going back down to 135 and fighting someone like Valero.

 

Guzman - JMM is a great shout

 

I don't know if he makes 135 anymore. He can get a title @ 140, do that and then retire

 

I think he can beat hatton but that fight will take a lot out of him. Its not like JMM doesnt get hit and its also not like he has enough power to take Hatton out early without wearing him down... So I think he will take a lot of shots from Hatton before he can break him down and it will shorten his already short remaining career.

He could also fight Paulie M at 140 which is good cause Paulie doesnt have much power to hurt him. Or he could fight Kahn if warren would actually allow it.

Maybe even Zab Judah at 140 or some catchweight. It wouldnt be a bad fight.

 

marq would have a better shot at beating hatton than judah.

i'd say take the biggest $ fight available which is hatton, then take it from there.

 

I completely agree. He lacks the agility and power for 140 and above to be successful and 135 is just water under the bridge. I think he would be a hellofa trainer.

 

Let him make his money with Hatton. I believe he would do well at 140. He would not have to come in at exacty 140. 138 would be ideal for him to be comfortable. If he beats Hatton, then go after Khan and the other champs which wold generate money especially if he beats Hatton. Guzman will be at 140 very soon.

 

...I think he wants Pacquiao @ 140, so If Pacquiao loses to Mayweather this fight should be made. I want JMM to get something done with Hatton in spring, Pac is still the official 140 champion, I'd like to see JMM get a rubber match with Pac and retire win lose or draw

 

Megafight with Hatton. Make a mint, retire, get inducted to the HoF.

 

he's fighting to get another shot @ Pac, thats his motivation
