    I know, but Khan or Pacquiao will bring more money to the table. At this point, I think that is what Marquez is looking at, or else they would've fought Kats instead of the Diaz rematch.

    i believe khan is just too tall and to big fight night where pac isn't and marquez knows how to fight pac since he has been in there with him twice already

    Maybe this time Manny can actually beat him.

    I think Kahn would beat Marquez easily. He is too fast and strong and would probably knock JMM out.

    I think both fights would be good ones. I understand that JMM would now be a definite underdog against Pacman but it would still be a good fight cause we all know JMM would give maximum effort against Pacman. JMM - Khan would be a good fight too. Khan is clearly the larger and taller man but getting in there with a tough, crafty veteran like JMM would be a great next step for him. I dont think its really a good fight for JMM to take even though its winnable for him, but I would pay to see it.

    I would rather see Khan vs Marquez.Manny would probably give him a worse beating than floyd at 140 because hes more agressive and a harder puncher than floyd.It would probably be an easy victory for pac at 140.Khan Marquez is a more even pick em fight.Even though i know he deserves a fight a third fight with pacquiao because Marquez should have beat him the second time.

    Pacquiao and Arum are idiots if they fight Margarito over Marquez. I'd be riding the Marquez wave, Margarito has no buzz. **** DLH and Schaefer were both pushing this during the Mayweather negotiations.

    I can see why Schaefer wants this fight for Khan.

    Marquez v Pacquiao...The previous bouts were very controversial, the first ending in a draw...and the second Pacquiao picking up the win when many believed he had been beaten. Marquez deserved a third bout with Pacquiao but never got it...

    Marquez v Khan...The majority just see this as Khan using Marquez as a stepping stone (if he were to beat him). Yet Khan has been calling people at 140lbs out left, right and centre recently...but we all know he will end up facing Marquez when really it should be Khan Maidana next.

    Some say JMM beat Punkquiao twice. We know that he won't fight JMM again.

    Because Khan is better suited for the welters really his height and frame make him too big for Marquez ..With Manny and Marquez their closer in height and reach ..

    pac vs jmm is a money maker at 140 but I'm not sure pac wants to come down in weight but hey you never know.

    JMM shouldn't be fighting over 135. Period. Even 135 seems the limit for him IMO. His age and weight have noticeably slowed him down. Against Pacman at 130, he would land 2-3 punches for everyone Pacman landed. He's still a lightweight to reckon with, but I don't think it would be as close of a fight the 3rd time around. The 3rd fight should of happened right after the 2nd at 130, not 140. But JMM wants it, and I would of favored him at 130, but this is at a weight 10lbs heavier and it doesn't favor him especially now that he is past him prime. Would rather he forget about Pac and fight Katsidis, Soto, or anyone else at 135. His best days are behind him. People forget JMM is a fighter who fought at 122-126lbs during his prime and now they want him to fight at 140? Bad move.
