    You are a freakin moron if you think casual boxing fans know the name JM Marquez more than SS Mosley.

    Bob Arum even said that as being one of the reasons they chose Mosley. No i'm not saying I listen to everything Arum says but I myself KNOW that Mosley is a bigger name and more recognizable name to the general public.

      Berto. How can I forget him. I personally think he would be the best choice aside from a fight with Floyd. I'll add him to the initial post.

        Marquez is known enough by the casual fans to where "Pacquiao vs Marquez" would sell very well. And at least when the casual fans go look up Marquez's last couple fights so as to hype themselves up for the event, they'd see amazing fight/victory, after amazing fight/victory. Whle when they look up Shane Mosley, they'll see in his last couple fights boring slugfest (Mayorga), followed by a great performance, but than they'll see him get schooled (a little bit of hype in round 2, but otherwise totally schooled). Than they'll see him look the oldest he's ever looked against Mora.

        Marquez is a better choice than Mosley, and it's not like the fight wouldn't make money. If Marquez/Mayweather made that much money Marquez/Pacquiao would make at least something close to that. And at 135 (which Pacquiao could probably still make) or 140 (which Pacquiao definitely could make) it even has the potential to be a great match-up. 147 would have simply been insulting.

Yes even Floyd! Critics will say that Floyd's head wasnt in it given all his legal problems. So lets just sit back and make the best of what is to come.
            I like this theory. When people are going to have problems with anyone you're going to fight, always best to choose one of the worst options.

                I was thinking the same thing, not to mention most seem to think its Ok for Cotto to fight Martinez but not Pac?(even though Pac beat Cotto?)

                Enough of the "he too big excuse" it has been used in his last4-5 fights and he won all.

                  Since Pacman is already set to fight Mosley, a move primarily to satisfy the African-American Boxers/fans, I'm still hoping that Marquez ought to fight other Champions, to prove his real worth, such as Andre Berto, or the winner in Bradley Alexander fight! If Marquez wins then the fight with Pacman at the year end will be a hit.

                      That's a lie,so Pacman takes the easy road while Marquez has to fight the guys that he dodged,seriously??
