Pac-JMM - rematch! for the WBA/IBF belts, Pac KO rd. 6 or by UD
1. Chris John - there can be only one in the WBA!, Pac KO rd. 1
Pac-MAB - rematch! Pac KO rd. 6
Pac-Harrison - for the WBO belt

2006 :
2. Michael Brodie - 1st IBF defense, Pac KO rd. 1
Pac-Chi - for the green WBC belt, Pac by late rounds KO or by UD
3. Rocky Juarez - 1st WBC defense,
4. Abelyan - 1st WBO defense

2007 :
5. Abazi - 2nd IBF defense
6. Archuleta - 2nd WBC defense
7. Sato - 2nd WBA defense
8. Polo - 2nd WBO defense

2008 :
9. Koshimoto - 3rd WBC defense
10. Salido - 3rd IBF defense

I'll stop my fantasy here. Funny list, isn't it? hahahaha LOL

The thing is, we really don't know.

HEYA, BUDDY!!! We really don't know and can't for certain! But that's part of the fun! And, you feeling lucky the world has only one CHRIS JOHN?! I haven't seen him fight; I haven't seen him AT ALL! How did he get such lofty stature at WBA?I noticed you put him in there for a KO1...So, I see that he doesn't have your respect? What about Guzman? You'd rather Pac meet him for the 11th to 20th fight? You know a crazy thought buzzing in m'head? What if somewhere in the 14th and 15th canto, Pac gets to meet RAFAEL Marquez, who by then shall have risen through the weight categories....BROTHERS!!! Oh, brother!!! Naughty! HA! HA! HA! HA!

I was actually grinning at myself while typing that list. LOL
As for Chris John being the "regular champ" and JMMarquez being the "super champ" of the WBA, well, what can I say...just amazed how these alphabet soups orgs come up with income-generating schemes..."there can be only one champ!" damn it! LOL

I intentionally skipped Joan Guzman and Robert Guerrero bro, in my opinion they're serious roadblocks in 2~3 years, Rafa oh boy...just never crossed my mind. The future looks really exciting in this weight class.

2005, who do you honestly think Pac gets to fight with?

WBA: Yup there otta be only one! I don't get it myself other than the reason you cited, money. Re Guzman and Guerrero, only mega-bucks and superfights, but even then, they're people one has to ponder seriously about if the objective is to get Pac 20 wins on title defenses. Yes. Re: Who Pac gets to fight 2005. Tough call! Marquez is making noises on latino b'casts about meeting Pac sometime Dec, it has been said. I don't see it happening this year; that could come next year, if at all. Morales is saying he won't go anywhere without meeting Pac after Barrera III. If there's something to that, that could not happen until next year. I'd like to see Harrison-Pac next year as well, but not before Pac tries to get himself belts by meeting Marquez, just so the ante can be upped: Harrison is no big name beyond the realm inhabited by boxing-batty fans like us. Their meeting has to be hyped as a unification match so Pac can get more $$$ than he would if he were to meet Harrison as a "challenger". It will be PPV material!

I agree with you. Assuming Pac gets past Marquez, the next attractive thing to do is go for a unification bout with the Scotsman. So let's list it down ...

2005 fights for Pac :
1. JMM - possibly around February, rematch for the WBA & IBF belts
2. Harrison - for the WBO belt, possibly around mid-year
3. Barrera or Morales - possibly before the year ends

This is fun.
