IMO Pacquiao needs to fight guys like Mayweather, Hatton, Cotto right now. I don't see him fighting JMM bringing that kind of attention and money to the sport as the other three.
Another thing I see is that Pacquiao obviously has troubles with JMM's style, but when fighting other guys Pacquiao is the superior fighter by a bit. I mean look at their back to back fights wtih Barrera, Pacquiao had that fight in the bag from round one, easily outboxing Marco. MAB-JMM was a close fight until close to the end when Barrera started getting tired, but it was competitive and close the whole way through. I honestly think JMM wouldn't have beaten Oscar even on that night, being orthodox, Oscar would have had no problems landing his jab on Marquez or his left hook, and I don't see JMM being able to deal with his power, Pacquiao was unorthodox enough to make Oscar miss, and have Oscar guessing, but JMM is a classic fighter, and Oscar and most boxers do better against that type of opponent.

I thought HBO was humping JMM's ass, saying that he was making Pacquiao look like an amateur, and Lampley kept on saying punches that were missing for JMM were scoring, and many times he didn't give Pacquiao credit for what he was landing.

Very true. There was an awkward moment for Lampley when Steward suddenly threw a compliment on Pacquiao's defense and boxing while he's on this 'big right hand from Marquez!!' phrase frenzy. after a brief moment of silence he resumed with a his favorite line 'another big right hand by Marquez!!!' IMO Marquez is clearly not landing any clean shot and is getting hit with short punches more than any round of his 2 fights with Pacquio.
An empty can is always noisy.
