Pacquiao should have fought Marquez a third time instead of Cotto.

[unlimitedboxing]

Maybe Pacquiao's handlers is just letting Marquez feel what Pacman felt when he turned down an immediate rematch of their first fight and opted to fight Chris John for a much smaller payday in which he lost by decision. But i definitely think the 3rd fight is a sure thing if they win their respective fights this year.

i wanted to rub this in for some ppl here whose boxing knowledge history between the two goes back only to 2008.

how could pac give jmm a rubbermatch??? jmm signed to fight pbf the day before pac/hatton.

/THREAD!!!!

That was because Arm was having none of the negotiations before that so JMM moved on.

He's going to get to fight Marquez again after they both lose.

ducked Marquez lots of timez.

Ehem, not. Pacquiao offered Marquez an immediate rematch. It was Marquez who refused, choosing instead to fight an obscure fighter Chris John.

By the way, Marquez lost to CJ.

That was a fight where the majority had Juan manuel Marquez winning. It was razor close and could have gone either way. Also since then Marquez has been chasing Pacquiao in each of his division, and systematically taking out all of the best in the respective divisions. I believe Marquez deserves this fight more than everybody. Cotto could have waited this is a fight boxing fans wanted to see.

Count me in the minorty. Pac beat Marquez both times.

the thread says why fight cotto instead of jmm specificially. the cotto fight was only made recently, since the hatton fight. in that time, jmm was already pegged to fight pbf.

there was no way that pac could've made a fight w/ jmm within that time becuase jmm was already slated to fight

the TS clearly didn't not think the Title of the thread thoroughly.

the thread is a fail.

Personally I would love to see a 3rd fight. I like both guys, and their styles match nicely for a real battle. And i bet the winner of a 3rd fight would by now win pretty convincingly, as both fighters have evolved....'specially Pac, haven't kept track of JMM though.

I'm still peaved that showtime and hbo don't show as many fights as they used to. but they are showing fights from '07 and '08 to make up for it...lol. I think they are starting to show some more though. Watching boxing on a big screen is 1/2 the reason i bought a hi def tv..dam!

I can see JMM and Manny going at it again for the third time by next year, or at least before Manny retires. It will happen, i'm almost sure of it.

If Marquez is willing to take $30,000 than Pac will talk.
