Hi guys,

Pac is a great fighter with a great personality and i wish him a speedy recovery.

I was just wondering whether the general feel of the pacmania that we all had would have still been this strong if pac would have fought marquez straight after oscar?...

If you look at clotty, hatton, cotto, margarito they are the complete opposite from a marquez type fighter which manny has always had problems with.

If manny fought marquez after oscar and the fight ended up like marquez 3 or 4, there definately would not be no mention from any fan, critic or hater that he is past his prime, leg cramps, no alex ariza, etc.

Like i said, we cannot ignore mannys achievements and his interest in politics and his age..this is affecting all fighters but im not talking about now im talking about then.

Was this great marketing from bob arum to avoid a marquez type of fighter for so long?

What are your thoughts on all of this?
