Pacquiao-Barrera 2 is a done deal.

Pacquiao-Morales is a done deal.

Pacquiao-St. Clair is a done deal.

...and the icing on the cake...

Pacquiao-Marquez is a done deal. :rolleyes:

yeah right Murad, ramble on :)

i think not being able to end the fight and even more importantly losing almost every round after the first will make Manny a little less aggressive and Marquez will win a UD.

You gotta think this is just about a done deal, it the best fight for both guys and it is a fan favorite match. Lets get it the F on HBO.

HBO should be it ! The fans need to watch what could possibly
the final, deciding match between these two warriors !

Actually, not many fighters that make excuses have proof. Manny immediately after the fight showed his swallon hand and blister on his toe that was the size of a quarter. Yet even still he tried staying in the fight which you can tell his mobility was limited and at some point I think it was in the 8th rd, he threw his left and it almost looked like he tried a hammer strike on Marquez because of the pain. Let's not forget, an aggressive fighter has the ability to adjust to a fighter better than someone whose a counter puncher and that's his whole game plan. I'm sure Marquez isn't going to last as long next time around because he will never change style. Manny knows what to expect, so does Roach, they will come up with a Barrera kind of unbeatable strategy. Or so I hope :D

Let's get the rematch goin. To settle the score, who's the best featherweight out there.

Im obviously gonna be rooting for Marquez, i hope he comes out aggressive as hell (thats how i believe he can beat manny), He gets any more cautious than last time i have a feeling it will be a bad night for both of us.

Don't you worry ULTIMATE we will have a great fight, I am an avid PacFan and Manny guaranteed us that he will entertain that means all action and combined with JMMs counter punching prowess we will have the ULTIMATE FIGHT!!!

I really hope that this fight happens, all of us fans wants to have closure on this argument....

pacman-jmm part 2.................bring a pillow jmm & sleep well in round 2 :D

Tell Mrs. Pacquiao to bring a couple, one for her hubby when he drops in round 5, and one for her after she faints :D

Hey . . .hey . . . don't get carried away this early :D . . . Murad is using that piece of CRAP info to lure Manny into renewing or at least extending his contract that's all. Arum released a press release last week that it's going to be Morales/Pac after Morales/MAB . . . SO guess who's telling the truth between Murad and Arum ;)

But for the sake of arguement if it materializes . . . . both fighters are very much capable of KNOCKING each other out. If you people really knew these fighters JMM is a very slow starter . . . and Manny always starts like a house on fire . . . so if JMM is going to K.O. Manny this should happen on the later rounds . . . that is if he can survive the first 6 rounds. :cool:

Pac wins again. This time he stops Marquez. I am guessing around round 10. No nonsense this time.

Will the real opponent for Pacquiao in 2005 please stand up?
