JMM has a July 14th date for Cowboy Stadium already set. Which is about 8 weeks away. Most fighters train for a fight for 6 - 8 weeks. Not counting promotion time.
Has anyone heard of his next opponent?

The funny thing is on this is, the three fighters at the top of the tree are Amir Khan, Juan Manuel Marquez and Danny Garcia. I'll bet my arse that none of those fights are made and we see
Marquez vs an uncompetetive underdog
Khan vs an uncompetetive underdog
Garcia vs an uncompetetive underdog
call me sceptical but, Khan Marquez was right there on a plate, and they dont seem interested at all. Names thrown in the hat for Khan were Erik Morales, Breidis Prescott and someone else, cant remember. Not seen any names at all thrown in for Marquez.
I really hope that behind the scenes they are working on Marquez vs Khan.
Hope it's Zab
For JMM to almost guarantee himself another fight with Pacman, is to defeat Khan. And if he wants a southpaw to dance with to prepare himself for Pacman it's Zab!!! I really don't see any other fighter out there for him to fight and full the seats of Cowboy Stadium.
Khan and Garcia was mentioned. But I don't think Garcia is on Khan level right now.
Brandon Rios and Yuriorkas Gamboa should be consider for either Khan or JMM. I'll love to see the speed of Gamboa vs the speed of Khan. And Rois vs JMM.
I would most want to see JMM-Khan. #2 would still be JMM-Rios for me, despite Rios's last outing. This one would have to be at 140, obviously.
But I agree with MacMagician that we're far more likely to get crap fights all around.
Spoke too soon: Marquez will no longer be fighting in July. He's just going to wait and try to get another fight with Pacquiao. I get his desire for that but at this point we all know exactly what that fight looks like and I'm not too interested in seeing it again.
Marquez's fight is off; Donaire, Rios double-header eyed | RingTV
The July card in Dallas is off. Marquez isn't fighting anyone for now.
WOW!!!!!
I'm pulling for Bradley to KO Manny.
JMM is doing the right thing and keeping busy and active. He did look a bit slow and muscle bound in his last fight. I think he wanted a southpaw like Zab, so that he can be ready for Manny. He is putting a lot of pressure on Top Rank to get the fight.
The reason why JMM will not fight Khan is because he want the Manny fight and it would be too risky. Likewise Khan does not want to fight Kell Brooks because he risks losing a fight with Floyd.
i would like to see floyd jmm 2
Why in the world would anyone want to see that? Generally complete shutouts aren't worthy of rematches; that one is certainly no exception. It was literally the easiest win Floyd's had since Hatton, maybe even since Gatti.Quote:

I'm definitely now eating my words. I'm happy they decided to have a meaningful fight for the division and for the good of boxing. Would have preferred Marquez but, hey ho. Can't argue with unification.Quote:

Please, god no. Master, I can tell you what happens in that fight already (hint: no clear result or consensus; only now they're older).Quote:

Agreed. I don't think anyone wants to see a Floyd-JMM rematch, including JMM.Quote:

There are a few fighters for JMM; Maidana, Peterson, Alexander are a few that come to mind. Holt barely got a sweat in his last fight, so he should be ready to go.
I would love to see a fight where PFF did not blatantly come in overweight to be able to walk over someone smaller and unfamiliar with the weight JMM put on the weight incorrectly for that fight.Quote:

That's the fight I want to see, I want to know how good Bradley really is.Quote:

The way he threw shit at Khan for over a year only to shift over to Arum and ditch a couple of mil. Slime in then to the Manny fight with an obvious fix which I will never understand. I'd like to see Marquez kick his head in.
