these were his three options as of right now. obviously everyone agrees that pac should be fighting someone like berto, bradley, williams, or optimally, floyd... but that is not the case
my question is - out of the three current options that pacquiao has, who should he be fighting? he is clearly geared towards marg, but nothing is set in stone.
personally i think the cotto fight would be the most entertaining, but JMM is only getting older and he is coming off of a win. it would be good to see pac put down any last doubts.
what are your thoughts?
yes, that leaves margacheato as the next best option for Pacquiao. But the question brought by the TS is who do we prefer to see in the next fight, and I prefer Marquez. But what people want, will not necessarily be the best choice. In the eyes of Bob Arum, Margacheato is IT.
I hear you bro, I would like to see Marquez again too and you make sense. I was just thinking of the weight difference now. I wonder if Manny could make 140 comfortably?
i want it to be margarito. why is that? because i have seen pac fight with cotto and jmm...
cotto was doing some moonwalks while covered in blood til round 12.
with jmm... both fights have their controversies. i doubt jmm can school pac again at WW. pac will ruin his legacy for kiling a LW.
If Marquez moved up to welter people would complain and rightfully so, Cotto got ko'd and should not be in with someone as dangerous as Manny for awhile. So that leaves Mayweather or Margarito and Mayweather wouldn't fight Manny for 10 million dollars... so I guess that leaves Margarito.

As shown at the Marquez-May fight, Marquez looked sluggish and didnt carry the weight well. Compared to his fight with Diaz at 135, Marquez looked very ripped, and carried the weight well. There are people who said he looked like a little slow in this fight, but some said he looked very good. Marquez is the one running after Pacquiao. As such, Pacquiao will insist Marquez go up in weight rather than him going down to meet Marquez somewhere below the 147 limit.

I don't support CW, fyi, and don't like Margacheato. So the planned Pac-Marg at 150 I totally dont agree. And Pac already said he is comfortable at 147 division. So going back to 140 may not be an option. And Pac will pressure Marquez to come up in weight rather than him going down.
Marquez, to finish once and for all any doubts on the clear winner. Although I expect it to be Pacquiao all the way in a Marquez part III, Pacquiao cannot go down to the 135, I even doubt if he is comfortable at 140, which means Marquez has to climb up to the 147 division again.
Cotto? It doesnt bring anything in terms of interest or intrigue.
Margacheato? Boycott the bum.
And please, don't bring up issues on OST or PEDs.
