no he has better chances of landing pacquiao if he loses to JMM... judging my Pacquiaos previous opponent selections

LMAO

I'm surprised more people aren't commenting on the confidential dinner Arum and Schaefer had. I would have loved to be a fly on the wall at that meeting.

Arum - "O.K., you let us have Marquez without any problems and we'll float you a Cotto or Margarito fight."

Schaefer - "And you'll let us take Bradley and you can keep Mosely?"

Arum - "Hell no, you take Mosely..."

Just kidding. Mosely has had a great career, but it's time for him to hang em up.

But back on point, when Schaeffer and Arum start having secret meetings - it's a scary thing. You know there's gotta be some real back door agreements (borderline illegal) **** goin on there.

The meeting was cordial, positive, and both guys agreed to work together in the future..... exactly the opposite to Arum's statement of a few days ago when he swore that no GBP fighter would ever land a fight with Manny.

JMM won't be his usual self this fight is meaningless ..I hope UFC is gonna have something lined up on the same day..sick of this fraud and his catch weight fights.

Dude don't know if u know this but jmm is the one who demanded the "catch weight". Ur anger is misplaced.

It doesn't matter anyway. Jmm couldn't stay on his feet at 135 when he was in his prime and pac was drained down, he's got no shot today at any weight. I hate this fight, its a waste of time. I've seen this movie twice before, I know how it ends.

The only thing that even remotely makes it watchable for me is all the bad blood and to see if manny can actually ko juan. Not to mention jmm actually has balls and wont run like a girl the same way mosley did. Would have much rather seen ortiz or bradley though.

Yea sure, that fight will really happen.

Ortiz = old ?

Ortiz = faded ?

Ortiz = slow ?

Ortiz = one dimensional ?

Ortiz = disadvantaged ?

Ortiz will never land that fight. Berto has a slight chance, but I doubt it.

If Marquez has learned from his last fights with Pacquiao then he can win. All he has to do is box and let Manny lead. Pac offensive onslaught comes from fighters pressuring him. Marquez can't expect to **** it out with Pac. Pac has been at the higher weight classes and most likely has more power than before. Marquez tecnical game is almost flawless. He can't expect to win an exchange with Pac. Counter punching works best.

Honestly, Marquez is a better fighter technically than Pacquiao. I don't see a blow out happening. Marquez has been fighting better fighters than Pac since the two last met. Maybe Manny handles the weight better but style wise. Marquez is still a difficult fight for Pac.

So are you picking Marquez to beat Pac?

[jazluvr]

I think Pac is going to embaress Marquez. Maybo even ko him. Too bad, i always liked Marquez.

[wizard king]

damm clowns are crazy jmm will beat pac,pac doest have the ring iq to beat jmm. if goes the distance jmm wins the cards, the only chance pac has is if he ko's jmm and that is not happening.

Too early to tell. Why do you want to know? because if I do pick Marquez and Pac wins, you can be one of the guys to say I don't know anything about boxing? Or that I'm hating on Pac? I know you are waiting for that.
