Marquez to have a tune up fight prior to Pac war 3

[Rantcatrat]

It IS a really good idea. What JMM ought to do is fight Diaz at whatever weight he plans to show up to fight Manny so he gets used to what he can, and cannot, do with his body at that weight.

This is exactly right. He really should be fighting a junior welterweight or a welterweight in preparation for a fight against an ATG at 145, not Diaz who is 2-2 in his last four fights, at 135.

This fight is all WRONG!!!
Judah should be the fight!!! HELL, if Bradley don't fight Khan, it should be him(Bradley). I even go with Maidana. I'll even go with Morales or Lamont Peterson. But Diaz? I guess he's getting with the Pacman show and fighting opponents that was already beaten by a protential future opponent, to say I did better then you. (i.e. Mosley, Hatton, DLH to Floyd)
JMM is a professional. So I gotta believe that JMM will come ready to fight at his highest level. But looking past anyone in the boxing ring, have a bad smell to it. Another upset in the making. But I am glad he's staying active. I hope he wins but . . .

marquez is a shot, used up, over the hill fighter, who will probably get sliced up so bad against Pac that the ref will stop the fight by the 5th round's conclusion.

I don't think any of those guys you name could fairly be labelled a tune-up.

Exactly, if Manny can fight him for a title then Marquez can fight his as a stay busy fight. Diaz will likely be thinking quite differerently.
