Marquez whets appetite for Pretty Boy-Pacman main dish

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Lyle Fitzsimmons - He’s a reigning WBA and WBO world champion at lightweight.

Previously, he’s held WBC hardware at 130 pounds and both WBA and IBF ***elry at 126 pounds.

But Juan Manuel Marquez became something else entirely on Saturday.

A tune-up fighter.

With the midday announcement of Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s return from a brief retirement and the evening’s concussive crowning of Manny Pacquiao as the IBO’s junior welterweight champion, the 35-year-old Mexican – a pro since 1993 – instantly became an afterthought.

Oh sure, he’ll face Mayweather in the “Pretty Boy’s” comeback bout somewhere between 140 and 147 pounds, but he’ll enter that fight as the last inconvenient obstacle to the event the sport is suddenly salivating over – a pound-for-pound summit between Mayweather and Pacquiao. [details]

All I have to say is Floyd Mayweather jr. Sucks! He talks as if he's Mike Tyson and is going to rip your head off then he dances around the ring like a P*SSY!!!

Mr boat buyer will handle JMM wit ease to set up the Pac fight. JMM ain't winnin. As much as I'd luv to see Mr boat buyer fight the top WW after these 2 fights are over, he ain't gonna do it.

Pacquiao can fight guys who don't go to him, Barrera didn't go at him and he got dominated, twice. Solis didn't go to him and got knocked out. Now they aren't on the level of Mayweather but Marquez didn't give him so much trouble just because he didn't go to him.

This article shows just how badly the odds are stacked against JMM. The only way he can win is by knocking Mayweather out, cause anything less results in a win for Floyd to make way for Mayweather/Pac.

I'm telling you guys. This guy who wrote the article knows and
you see how he emphasized on the fact that Shane did pull out
of a fight with Floyd. Man, as much as you hate Floyd, he will
not be an under dog in any of his fights. If Floyd can dispose
of Marquez by KO or make his corner throw in the towel, then
Manny is in trouble but if it goes to a decision and is competitive
I say Floyd will have a long night ahead of him with Pac. All in all
Pac is a tough guy and you can never sleep on him as I have
learned already but a Floyd Mayweather Jr on his A game will
win both.
