Pacquaio gets a challenge from undefeated boxer

dont forget he also "skipped" the great Zahir Raheem and Humberto SotoMike Jones is not slick, but he is undefeated, young, and hungry, which is good enough for me.
If Pacquiao doesn't fight either Bradley, Jones, or Mayweather after Marquez, I wouldn't be surprised. Dude just doesn't want to take on any top fighter at their best in recent years. Skipped Guzman, Casamayor, Campbell, Juan Diaz at 135 and took on David Diaz, skipped undefeated Berto and fought Mosley, skipped Ortiz and picked Marquez, doesn't want to take the test against Floyd. Hopefully he'll finally change in 2012 and fights Bradley or Jones if the Mayweather fight doesn't happen. I have bought all of this guys PPV's except the DLH and David Diaz one's, and he just keeps letting me down, and I keep buying his PPV's cause i'm just a boxing fan in general.

All Mike needs to do is go out and look like **** against Brooks or lose by KO to Berto or some other ww and Manny will gladly fight him.Comment

I agree except for the belt part Mike Jones needs to fight a test like Bradley or Khan before I think he is ready for Pac.I don't like the idea. Why can't Papa Bob get Mike Jones a belt first then I'm all for it. Undefeated with a belt versus Pacquiao's WBO it will be a unification fight and a super fight for reasons of:
1). Undefeated
2). Never gave up (diss on Ortiz)
3). Has a belt - unification title match
4). A young fighter
5). A legitimate fight outside of Mayweather
6). Another true Welterweight fight (diss on Marquez vs Pacquiao III)
Pretty much, if Mike Jones picks up a strap along the way and comes 2012 he has a belt then it will be a great fight I can get behind. I would rather have Pacquiao fight Viacheslav Senchenko for the WBA belt who is also undefeated with a high rate of KO. Or Dejan Zevac for the IBF strap who is in a winning streak at the moment.
What I want is a unification match for Pacquiao dammit.

very valid and objective post...
pac vs jones should not be lined up as a replacement for pac/pbf.....or pac/jmm..
there are other match-ups that can be made...Comment

If Manny fights Mike Jones, which I hope he does, will you be saying this then? Or will you all of a sudden hype Mike Jones as a great dangerous fighters?
Personally I think this is a good fight, but i'm asking you if you will think highly of Mike Jones if he becomes a Pacquiao opponent or will you stick by your guns and refer to him as an undefeated prospect who struggled against a c level slugger?Comment

I don't mind mike jones being considered as a next opponent for pac (after marquez). I've seen some of his fights and he's a good fighter (i think he's ranked #7 in the welterweight division). However, I do agree with most people that Mike Jones needs to fight someone worth mentioning like a top ten ranked welter (possibly for a world title) before he can consider himself a legitimate challenger for pacquiao.Comment

Are we really justifying this? Mike Jones has done nothing, I like him, but this is an obvious attempt to top Mayweather - Ortiz, which won't happen, atleast Ortiz came back from adversity rose up and took a major title, if Mike Jones gets a major belt and defends it atleast once, I'm down, but right now to say its a good fight is funnyComment

My man, he skipped the guys at 135 and fought Oscar (who everyone says was going to murder him) and the lineal champ at 140 in Hatton. Come on, man. What about Miguel Cotto? Doesn't he blow out all those guys at 135 that you mentioned?Mike Jones is not slick, but he is undefeated, young, and hungry, which is good enough for me.

You can argue that the Clottey, Margs, and Shane fights should've never happened. But I believe you are simply overdoing it with the bolded statements.Comment
