JMM is about to be a wanted man @ 135

**MANGLER** · 03-04-2009, 01:12 AM

He could make good fights wit any of the new crop of LW contenders, but his Pac obsession will move him up within his next 2 fights.

Ohh, I'd love it if JMM was the first man to KO Prescott. But then... he'd be a midget compared to the guy.

Valero and Prescott could very well pose the greatest threat to JMM at 135.

Thing is, I know Prescott can majorly **** with those wild swinging haymakers of his - and he scares the **** out of me when does that - but can he KO a guy who's been in the ring with numerous dangerous fighters (Pac, Casamayor, Diaz, MAB) and never been stopped?

I guess there's a 1st time for everything (i.e. Margarito), but could that really happen? I'm almost asking that question as a rhetorical one, because who really knows now that JMM is kingpin again. But then, if midget Pac put him on his ass in both fights and Diaz had him thoroughly outpointed (at least on my scorecard)...

Valero will probably win the WBC belt, which would drop him from the WBA rankings, Guzman is in line to fight for the IBF belt which, provided he wins, would also drop him from the WBA rankings.

I think he'll move up to 140 if no big fights present themselves at 135, not many people want to see a rematch with Barrera at this stage unless he looks ultra impressive against Khan, maybe a Khan fight would keep Marquez at 135, that's a big money fight. I don't think he's interested in the rest.

And unless JMM gets caught flush by Prescott, he would beat Prescott without too much trouble, Funeka would give him more trouble.

JMM will leave his belts and move up. Hes just to obcessed on Pac.

I hope Marquez does whatever is in his best interest and keeps him motivated. Until he gets "old", which will happen sooner than later, he still has what it takes to make fight with or beat anybody. The winner of the big GBP tournament will be a good opponent, Nate Campbell would have been a good one, there are a few other guys at LW. Maybe Anthony Peterson will get a crack at him.
Marquez is exciting, talented and courageous, Ill support the guy one way or another. And this isnt coming from a fanboy, I rooted against him when he fought Pac and Diaz.

If he does I hope he takes a fight with Nate Campbell. That would be sick.
His best bet is probably to stay at LW and try to dominate, and wait for a Pac fight to open up before actually making another weight class jump. 140 really would be a bit high for him otherwise.

I see JMM beating Funeka easier than Prescott; Funeka's chin would cause him major problems against a precision puncher like JMM.
