who will JMM fight next?

In actuality, we dont have to take it the physics route.....its much simpler than that......

.....the higher the weight Pac has gone, his speed has decreased slightly, and his power in lbs has remained within the same range.........

.....taking into account that Pac is punching at a bigger mass, and you have his single punch having less effect against a bigger mass......

JMM at 140 lbs will be a bigger mass for Pac to topple.

Pac could'nt finish JMM at either 126 lbs or 130 lbs......there little reason to think that he'd finish a bigger version of Marquez with the little to no power punching output that Pac has gained from his weight gain.

The effects of Pac's punches on a fighter from my observation have been significantly less at 135 lbs and 147 lbs......



There are fighters that have brought their punch with them moving up from the lower weight.....Alexis Arguello was one of them.......

JMM is actually a fighter that looks to have gotten stronger as he's moved up......twice putting guys who had never been KO'd down for the count, Casamayor and Juan Diaz.

......also of note is that Pacquiao who's faced versions of fighters to slow to hit him......his chin has'nt been tested at a weight above 130 lbs......can he take a stronger fighers punch????

Marquez took some nice shots from both Casamayor and Diaz, and for the most part actually seemed to take and absorb the shots better than in his previous weight classes......

It may very well turn out that the weight gain for JMM has done him more good than it has Pacquiao.......
.....just my opinion, but history will let us know for sure though!

 

The problem is the winner of Holt/Bradley has to fight Devon Alexander in th summertime meaning JMM would probably be sitting out until what, October?

I have to imagine he'll be looking to stay more active in that regard.
