PBF`s possible win will not only affect his legacy and P4P rating, but also his bargaining power with the Pac Team. One mistake with JMM, and he will be shunned from future mega-fights. A lot of people are just waiting for him to lose just to make him and his pa eat their words, he may even never fight Pacquiao because of this fear of losing. But not to JMM. He just put himself in a tight spot, and he will realize this too late.Last edited by ThunderWolf; 05-20-2009, 10:24 AM.

It's a super-fight based on name value and I'm sure Marquez will give him a run for his money
However the sacrifices Marquez is being forced to make do harm the fight's credibility somewhat
It sure is a legacy boost but not a particularly significant one considering circumstance

Call a spade a spade. a full fledged WW fighting a recently turned 36 year old LW is a tuneup. No big man should credit in this scenario, especially not one as good as floyd is. Floyd ain't helping himself with this fight, he's hurting himself & his cred. Not to mention everywhere he goes he hears Pac's name & it's driving him nuts.

Originally posted by Pullcounter View Postum... no. there's a reason why there are weight classes. the p4p titles is a hypothetical claim.
c'mon, this is a tune up. it does nothing for his legacy.
No one knows how PBF will actually fight after more than a year`s layoff. But surely, PBF has not experienced blood in the ring, and JMM is used to it and the hardships of being hit.
I think it boils down to who wants it more, and JMM has the capacity to be victor. Unless he gets assimilated by the mafia, because he is supposed to lose.
They should watch this fight very closely.
