I personally don't really care if he dodges Marquez or not. I just want to see Pacquaio in some good tear ups and guys like Valero and David Diaz are sure to bring that.

Marquez is a high risk fight that could derail Pacquiao's career, at least force to him to reasses where his focus now lies if he loses.

Plus if Pac moved up, along with Guzman it would leave the 130 lbs division a bit empty. Rather than people portraying Pacquiao as running if he makes a succesful debut with a win and a world title against David Diaz I reckon the attention would very quickly shift to the lightweight division and Marquez may find himself out in the cold, similar to Hatton in the 140 lb division when Floyd and Cotto both moved up.

Marquez isn't a big PPV draw in his own right whilst Pacquiao is huge. He moves up and HBO follow him to 135.

Marquez would then need to decide if he stays at 130 in relative obscurity or moves up to face the 'big boys' at 135.

Moving up could be a smart move for Manny
