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.
