Juan Manuel Marquez - who should he face if he doesn't win the Pacquiao sweepstakes?

[KananKrus]

Should Juan Manuel fail to land in the Pacquiao sweepstakes there's one match-up he should consider to improve his credentials in the above lightweight categories...

How about Joshua Clottey? Especially if JuanMa knock him out!

Having as an opposition only a small lightweight and a counterpuncher in Juan Manuel Marquez, could very well transform Clottey into an “aggressive” type of a fighter for a change. This plays out, Joshua could prove an easy knockout victim for the very powerful “Dinamita”, the greatest Mexican boxer/counterpuncher of all time (IMO), if just so provided enough opportunities, thus JMM could very well establish his place in the “above lightweight” category.
All the above scenarios clicking into place will allow for Marquez’ a seamless entry into the ranks of the said categories in boxing and the all-important accreditation in the eyes of the Pay-Per-View public. This also should render Manny Pacquiao’s snub, (he reasons that JMM is a promotional hazard with his weak accreditation), invalid.

Only thing though, last time out in the news, I read that Joshua Clottey was contemplating a move into the 154 weight class and since then, I never knew for a fact if he actually did.

Nevertheless if noteworthy indeed, it is nothing that a good promoter cannot get on track... and GBP should venture into this instead of just relying on a "dela hoya" media-bellyaching fiasco to twist Top Rank into partnering for a potential blockbuster.
