      The real test for Pac IS -->> Juan Manuel Marquez. Laugh all you want, but that's the truth.

                A fight against Castillo WILL NOT happen. Castillo is moving up to 140lbs after Corrales. He can barely make the weight already. Roach did say he would like to see a match against Corrales if he does go up to 135lbs. I dunno how that'll work out because Manny has been the smaller guy already in 130lbs. If he really wants to play the role of David, then go right ahead. I can only see him competing at 135lbs if his power does go up with him. It'll be his main asset because he's losing abit of speed each time he's gone up. He won't really have such a blinding straight left anymore. Corrale's chin is decent, I mean, he may go down, though he'll more than try to get up. And I could only see a hook putting Corrales down for good, not a straight punch. Would Manny get back up though? Hmmmm.

                  Oh yeah and to comment about this thread topic. Ya know, when it comes down to it, I don't think it's much with Erik Morales. It's more about Bob Arum competing with Golden Boy. They just don't want Golden Boy to jump in and steal the big money with a Barrera-Manny rematch. So they would probably sign the contracts, even just to stall. Then maybe a month or 2 before the fight, Erik pulls out with an injury or something just so Golden Boy Pro. couldn't jump in this year. Eitherway though, I don't think Erik can retire with this loss on his back just like that. He's gonna definitely want to rematch Manny and train harder than ever to get 1 win in another trilogy he's participating in.

                    oscar has the build and the height. it's just a matter of putting more muscle on it. pac probably could go as far only as 135, he'll win some lose some. higher than that, his height deficit would be a huge vulnerability.

                      Bob Arum is looking out for his fighter. He wants Morales to get the most of this situation. Morales has a chance to earn another $2 million to fight Pacquiao for the 3rd time. Why pass this opportunity up? It's not wether Morales want another beatdown. He's been there and he knows how it feels. This is just for money if anything. I don't see Morales staying in boxing much after this 3rd fight. Afterall, he did say "he was tired of boxing" after Pacquiao KOed him.
