Why would Marquez be a more viable opponent than Mosley for Manny?

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

I actually think it'll be a bit of a travesty if Marquez gets a 3rd fight.

[Hornfinger]

I think Pac would beat either of them especially if it's at manny pacquiao weight.

Marquez deserves this fight more though. He's beat pac twice and been screwed twice. So he deserves it more.

Mosley got trounced by floyd and got a draw agaist mora. He ain't earnt it.

Because it's been a year since Manny kayoed an opponent. I think fighting Marquez rejuvinates that kayo fountain. Fighting Mosely makes more money and sense IMO.

[Hornfinger]

Mosley has had one good performance in the last 6-7 years.

With exception of 2nd round...maybe I'm nuts but I think Marquez gave Mayweather a stiffer go of it then Mosley did. Still dont think he gets credit for rights vs Mayweather. No he didnt rock him but was somewhat accurate with it.

To question...24 rounds. History. JMM just has more in the tank and punch selection is just a beautiful thing. On other hand....I honestly cant say Manny can take Mosleys best punch,would love to see what happened when nailed on chin...and he would be.

Mosley has had one good performance in the last 6-7 years.

Do you watch boxing? Cotto, Collazo, Vargas II, Margarito. He would have had more, but there were long stretches where he was trying to get big fights.

I think Mosley and JMM should fight each other with the winner fighting Pacman in May. I would rather see Pac fighting a young lion in Berto then to see him fight a now undeserving fighter in SSM and a small Jr Welter in JMM whom he has beat already. Or another way of putting this; If its not PBF then what is the point of any fight from here on out?

[rjj tszyu]

Because a counter puncher is what gives Pac trouble and that is what Marquez is good at. Marquez causes Pac more trouble than Shane IMO. Although I'd like to see a fight between Pac and Marquez at Lightweight.

[KKisser]

i'd like to see pac-marquez at 142-144lbs with mosley-berto as an undercard. if pac gets passed marquez which i expect he would, then let manny fight the mosley-berto winner. if mosley beat berto it shows he still has something, while a berto victory gives him a named opponent into his resume.

[NUCLEAR BULL]

its beacuse mosley is shot and there are shadows hanging over the previous 2 fights with pac and jmm......jmm has a bit more tp offer the mosley in turns of whats left in the tank and the style thats had pacman in truble.......people would want to see a final chapter on the matter

Do you watch boxing? Cotto, Collazo, Vargas II, Margarito. He would have had more, but there were long stretches where he was trying to get big fights.

He was just ok against Cotto though. He looked good against a finished Vargas and Collazo broke his hand in the 2nd round of the fight with Mosley, after initially looking very good.

The only really good performance came against Margarito.

He was poor against Mayorga, Estrada, Cruz, 1st Vargas fight, Mayweather (apart from that punch in the 2nd) and finally against Mora.

He quite clearly doesn't have enough in the tank to deal with Pacquiao's movements as the fight goes on. He was clearly gassed against floyd. Against Pacquiao it would be much worse as he would have to fight at a higher tempo. I think it would be a terrible fight in all honesty. Wouldn't even be remotely close.

Marquez - Pacquiao is much more interesting.

[Rantcatrat]

Do you think Marquez vs. Pacquiao at 147 would be more interesting?
