Juan Manual Marquez is entitled to demand a third fight with the Pacman, why wouldnt he? He has nothing to lose and everything to gain.
Given Freddie Roach's tactic of waiting to pick off the big names at their ripest moment id imagine the fight is a monty to go ahead. Roach need only to cast his eye over Katsidis Marquez bout in late 2010 where the Australian slugger was one kick away from finishing the mexican in the third round with a vicious left hook. If Katsidis can hit Marquez, what will Pacman do to him? Marquez is all of his 37 years of age, if your still not convinced dust off the Marquez Mayweather contest circa 2009.
Further proof of this notion is the way Roach waited several years to pick off Mosley, throw in the negotiated training session against Margerito and the manner in which he signed the Cotto fight on draconian terms. No doubt Roach will be up to his old tricks when negotiating JMM and MP.
If the contest gets off the ground it'll be grossly on Pacman's terms and another lop sided contest. None of this is Manny's fault, he is the the best offensive fighter ive seen, a thrashing machine in even the toughest judges book. The management of the Pacman is where my problem lies, it encaptualates everything that is wrong with our great sport, money over the best interest's of the boxing. When everyone is watching we need not only good fights but great fights. Saturday's nights show was neither.
So where to now? It looks like 'All roads lead to Mayweather' as the Pretty Boy has always stated and you can guarantee Roach wont get Floyd on his own terms. Is this one of the main reasons they can't come to an agreement? You might say Roach has little to do with negotiations, just as santa delivers the presents on Xmas right?
