Comments Thread For: Arum: Marquez, a Leading Candidate For Pacquiao Next

[figzuki]

it says that noone signed to GBP is getting anywhere near a top rank fighter.
bob puts his business interests before the good of the sport and the fans.

cheers Bob.

but well done to JMM - he deserves another shot at manny. he did what he had to do to get it.
bet we see mayweather disassociated from GBP next

look man everyone who is winning fights now, says one thing: i want a shot at Pac or Mayweather.

Martinez
Bradley
Khan
Mayorga is already overlooking Cotto to come down to 147 and fight Pac (lol)

Like it or not people, Old man Arum is the one keeping the sport alive fools, don't forget that...

Of course JMM is...Was there any doubt?

I guess the only prime fighter that Pac will fight from here on out will be Chavez Jr...

Well that is actually the plan.

Did it occur to anyone that maybe Arum didn't want a Marquez fight with Pacquiao because of the former's contractual tie with Golden Boy? Marquez is not fighting Morales because he doesn't want to be tied in again. He knows that if he's with Golden Boy he'll never fight Pacquiao.

Pacquiao Vs. Marquez III will happen after Manny retires Shane. I feel that Marquez will get knocked out in the trilogy. As for Mayweather - he may fight Pacquiao and it's in my belief that he'll make Manny look silly.

the plan according to who? c'mon bro...

Pac Vacated the 154 title, so is chavez gonna come down to 147? What he needs to do is fight Martinez at 160 or 154, so at least people can give him SOME credit, he has big shoes to fill and at this point not even too many Mexicans are backing him up, so That fight would give him a big boost...

No Pac fight for chavez bro.....

chavez jr should fight cotto or canelo.

[figzuki]

chavez jr should fight cotto or canelo.

I agree to an extent bro...

Canelo I don't think would fight him without some type of catchweight like people say on here, although this would be huge in Mexico!

And as far as Cotto I think at this point he's on his last fights IMO, Mayorga, Marg, and people have been talking about a rematch with Pac, so that fight would be far out....

I really loved your suggestion on Canelo vs. Quinatana! I think Canelo (according to Mexis) still has to prove he's not just a product of Televisa.....

[jrosales13]

chavez jr should fight cotto or canelo.

The Canelo fight is not happening anytime soon.

But, Cotto fight is a very high possibility and Arum has a plan to make it happen.

If Cotto beats Mayorga and then goes on to beat Margarito. And, Chavez Jr beats Zbik for the MW title. Then Cotto will fight JCC Jr for the WBC MW title.

And, Pac will fight the winner, possibly at a catch-weight(at least 155), for his 9th title in his 9 weight-class.
