De La Hoya: "Pacquiao-Marquez Must Happen"

[Addison]

JUAN Manuel Marquez against Manny Pacquiao—that’s the fight people want to see. [details]

Oh ok.. NOW it must happen..

I just wish Oscar Golden Boy and Top Rank didn't make so obvious they were fleecing the public with the Barrera fight.

NOW, they want our money for Marquez.. Nice.

I also wanna see Pacman vs too fresh fighters in Soto or Guzman,i like Marquez,hes a great fighter,but i think hes ageing a bit now,he did struggle abit against Barrera,if he fights Pac he has to outbox him and not get into a war

There are many other great options available for Pac - like Soto & Guzman, It would be great for his legacy if he fights the best of his era, while they are in their prime. He would still be the favorite.

Dinamita is gonna KO Pacquiao.

Time to shut up the critics once and for all.

If Pac destroys JMM like he did other ATG Mexican greats, then nobody else can say another bad word against him.

I recognize that the 1st fight was close but I'm getting real tired of seeing Pacman in these rematches...

Better to rematch now and make those idiot critics eat their words rather than run and duck and lose pride.

Pac is no Fake Floyd who would exchange pride and honor for a few easy Baldo, Gatti, Judah and old DLH fights.

Baldomir, Gatti, Judah and DLH are all great fighters. Some of them fought Floyd past their prime, how is that different from what Pac is doing????

Not to mention that Floyd fought them almost 20 lbs heavier than when he started off. That's what pisses me off about you Pac fans, you got your head so far up pac's ass that you can't see anything at all except Pacquiao. Floyd is the P4P best right now, not the most exciting but he's the best without question.

I agree, Pac needs to beat Marquez soundly.

Definitely. Pac needs a win a lot more convincing than when he fought Barrera for the second time. That fight was hardly a P4P best showing despite what Larry Merchant might say. Pac doesn't look as spectacular against technically superior fighters, nobody can take his power away from him, but if he wants to be the P4P best he's gonna have to show that he can be just as explosive against technical counterpunchers who don't like to get in brawls. If he does that he's gonna eat a lot of punches against JMM and he may even lose the fight, but that's the price he's gonna have to pay if he wants to take the title of P4P best away from Floyd.
