Why November? Surely they can do it sooner.

I was interested in this fight a few years back. Now that Marquez is slower and has showed that he isn't that great over 140lbs i'm not that interested. I would like to see Pac fight Bradley or Ortiz. I watch the Pac vs Marquez 1 & 2 fights a lot. Part 3 at this point in Marquez career just doesn't excite me. Maybe my mind will change when the fight gets closer.

What other offer can the Golden Girls give to Marquez? Seriously.. They cant give Marquez the Pac fight and no other opponent is going to generate that type of dough for Marquez..

This will be the beat down Marquez has asked for.. I never like Floyd bamboozling the public into fighting a bloated lightweight and I am going to stick to my guns and say Pac fighting Marquez above 140 is a shame.. But I know better and understand that boxing is a business and this fight will sell better then big forehead Bradley and Victor the quitter Ortiz..

Atleast Marquez will bring it unlike Shane..

And so it begins.....

Marquez is fighting a tuneup this summer (David Diaz), so it might be too soon. Perhaps Pac's congressional schedule got in the way.

True, considering Shane never fought back im sure they can put Marquez vs. Pac on for this Saturday and give folks who bought Shane vs. Pac the fight for free to make up for Shanes poor performance..
