so your saying a version of pac today vs a version of marquez that fought pac before will be a an even fight?

(a version of pac today is = power in both right and left, knows how to circle opponent for counters, wiser than b4 means wasnt as careless as b4 throwing combos)

marquez outbox this version of pac today?

Yes, a 135 lbs version of the current Pac would still have a lot of problem with JMM because styles make fights and JMM knows how to put a boxing clinic on Pac.

Manny wanted nothing to do with JMM after the 2nd fight.

JMM also has no problem defending his title against the best guys in the division. Manny wins a title and doesn't defend his title against the best guys in the division.

Personally i think Marquez is soundly better than Pacqiauo in terms of skills.

I agree Marquez gives Pac all he can handle at 135. But to be fair, they tried to make Pac/Marquez III instead of Clottey, but Marquez wanted 50/50 and random drug testing. It's not Pac's fault Marquez is an *******.

That is more because of politics more than anything.

Pac should have been a unified title holder 3 division actually. Because, of the crookedness of the sanctioning bodies it didn't happen.

Really? Are you sure about that?

Please don't be so naive!

What makes you think DLH and Arum want to do business? Why would Arum do business with GBP when he can keep all the money in house? You do know that if Pac fights a GBP fighter, GBP becomes the main promoter for the fight and they keep all the financial books?

Arum had already promised Margacheato a fight with Manny at the beginning of the year way before they tried to make a fight with Floyd again.

No way they make JMM vs. Manny instead of Floyd vs. Manny.

That is not true at all. You can only really say that in maybe 3 divisions that Pac has particpated in. And, that is 130, 135, and 140.

That is it.....

Really? Are you sure about that?

Yes, I'm 100% sure. Manny wants nothing to do with JMM and he's going to wait to for JMM to really decline before he thinks about fighting him again.
