Ok, that doesn't even make any sense. I was saying he could've given Marquez the trilogy INSTEAD of fighting someone like Diaz or DLH, etc.
Uhhhg. I'm done with this thread. This is simply a waste of time. Call me a Pac-hater or whatever you like... I feel like I'm talking to a brick wall.

Because you're afraid to accept some reasons.
First, after the Marquez fight, Pac had to fight a less difficult fight. Diaz was there for the taking. Pac deserved it. He has been into wars with Morales, Barrera, and Marquez.
DLH called him out. It was a dream fight for Pac coz of DLH's popularity and money that it will generate him. He could not turn down that fight.
Next, his fight with Hatton was supposed to be his most difficult fight as Hatton has been unbeaten in 140. He was also gunning for a title in 140. Hatton was the man there but it turned out to be an easy fight. Pac's not to blame.
Next came Cotto who was considered to be one of the best in the welterweight division.And you know what happened.
Where's the ducking there?
Yes you're talking to a brickwall coz you don't accept reasons.

Pac is not an "absolute idiot" to choose a path other than what he had just undertaken. (Diaz, dela Hoya, Hatton)
It was the right one. It has given him fame and riches beyond expectations that he now enjoys at his feet. To have taken the last fight of a Marquez trilogy is to veer away from such path and in no way an intelligent move on their part.
Recently, as facts now from continued scintillating performances of Pacquiao guide us to better reasoning, he has been underperforming at the lower weights (135 below) simply because he has outgrown those weight limits!
In fact, Pacquiao unwillingly just accommodated the JMM vs Pac 2 fight at the weight limit of 130lbs for the last time, just so that a hopeful win will remove the stigma of the first fight, to which outcome he "perceived" an unacceptable. And once that "nag" is shelved and out of the way, they can proceed with the monumental quest up ahead, for it already had been mapped out even prior to the 2nd Marquez fight!
Fast forward to the present, this likewise enlightens us to the fact that if the JMM Pac trilogy is to happen, it will only be at 140 or up. Which in any case a huge handicap for the ageing Marquez! I would fear for Juan's health and safety should that fight take place! The old warrior is quite simply that... old!
Ever wonder lately, we have not heard any of that sort of challenge from Goldenboy Promo, Nacho, or Juan? No?
They've might've simply figured, that the right time for those pickings have passed. And the wise and logical bet is to stand down and no longer pursue it.
Now, if Manny Pacquiao beats Floyd Mayweather Jr. in their fight on March 13th of year 2010, this will cement his place as an all-time great, and signals an end to his battles. He has nothing further to prove in the sport of boxing! Likewise, if he wins that fight, then he too proves to the world that PBF's "0" is a big ball of excrement, the human kind!
