Put yourself in JMM shoes.....

[Check_hooks]

If I was in Marquez's shoes I would stop drinking piss first and foremost.

Second of all If I really wanted a fight with Pacquiao which is all I ever talk about I wouldn't over price myself like in the past.

And out of Khan, Judah, Alexander and Maidana the only one Marquez could beat is Judah and that questionable. Khan is moving to 47. Maidana will probably move up to try to get a rematch with Khan.

And lets not forget who the lineal champ at 140 is, Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao when he retired the lineal champ Hatton.

Jump ship from GBP and be a free agent to get your "trilogy" on (and get a nice payday).....or stay with GBP and get back to back fights against Judah/Khan/Maidana/Alexander?

We all know that JMM is having dreams everynight to get a 3rd fight with Manny.....but at what price? Moving up to WW again....a good chance of him being beatdown into retirement?

But against the young crop (save for Judah)...he has a much better chance to capitalize on their youth and inexperience...and a chance to get a belt in a 4th weight class......

Which would you do if you were Dinimita?

yeah, he's in a pickle...... the crappy thing is about all of this, is that no matter what he does, it will be criticized one way or the other, and the fact of the matter is, he's in a tough spot for making the right choice....

being that he's 37 years old and imo, starting to slip just a bit, if it were me I'd like to cash out and get pacquiao. If he wins, one of the greatest ever. If he loses, he was not at his best weight and was a little older, but at least got a record payday. Win win situation.

If he goes to 140, sure he could add another weight class title maybe against Judah and that does enhance his legacy a bit, but for how long can he stick around? Lets say he gets the judah fight later in the year and wins, what does he do after that? Fight Khan at 38 years old? That's a decent paycheck, but nickles & dimes compared to a Pac fight.

Just my opinion. If he were younger, I'd say 140. But he doesn't have much time left.

and i have to agree here, JMM is getting older, and although there are good and decent match ups to be made, the money is with pacquiao, and one of the biggest wins of his career is available if they fought and he won........ IF.......


i say, if the pac fight is a guarantee then i say, do it, make the transition and fight, but if it's up in the air, i'd say **** it, and go with the other, because he will just get jerked around if he doesn't get a guarantee............
