I want to see them fight again. Ironically I wouldn't have been over interested had they both stayed at superfeatherweight but considering how explosive their debuts were I'd love to see them go once more at 135 lbs.

I want Pacquiao to fight De La Hoya first. I know most think it's a mismatch but whilst Oscar has every advantage he's not a particularly physical fighter and I don't see Manny being overly troubled or knocked out as others do. It will be a close competitive event.

More importantly though fighting Oscar would be a massive event and a huge world wide recognition boost for Paquaiao. It will make him a household name and imo he deserves that fame and deserves that payday.

So I look forward to the Oscar fight. Afterwards, well I'd love to see Manny in with so many fighters. If he looks good against Oscar than I'd love to see him in with Ricky Hatton which I feel would be a great fight, plus Juan Diaz, Nate Campbell and maybe even Edwin Valero.

He is spoilt for choice as regards opponents. However I don't think any impartial fan feels his business with Marquez has concluded and there are thousands of fans and experts alike who feel Marquez could have won both fights so I really want them both to fight again.

It's a weird one because I really want to see Manny against Oscar, Hatton, Valero, Juan Diaz etc, but he also needs to fight Marquez again imo.

I think the best scenario would be as follows. Manny fights Oscar, losing by decision in a close and competitive fight, in a loss that does nothing to damage his legacy or status considering the size advantage of Oscar.

Marquez fights and beats Nate Campbell (tough ask) and sets himself up as undisputedly the man at lightweight.

Manny then takes either Marquez or Hatton (providing he beats Paulie).


If he comes through that then he fights Marquez for a third time.

The more I think about the less likely it seems like it will happen though, a lot of if's and but's.

but I'd like to see it and feel Marquez deserves another shot.
