Dispelling the hype about this version of JMM

[davidoff]

After cleaning out a very weak lightweight division JMM is now seen as some kinda of destroyer Pacquiao is avoiding for dear life. JMM has been hand fed these come forward types not known for their defensive skills. Now the same criticism could be said for Margs but at least Margs was much bigger and stronger and posed a legit punchers chance. Katsidis was exposed by old Casamayor a few years ago as a punching bag. All JMM proved was in this lightweight division a very good, borderline great fighter like himself can dominate. If he wants Manny he WILL move up to 147 and we saw what he can do at weights beyond 135 lbs. JMM is looking for one big paycheck and I really hope Manny gives it to him. JMM has earned one last payday even though I truly believe at 147lbs he will be very slow and be nothing more than a more skilled Clottey type guy against this bigger version of Pacquiao. It's a good fight for everyone involved because Manny will end any question of JMM being better by beating the bloated slower version up and JMM will get one last huge fight before he retires.

He hasn't been hand fed at all.

When he was rematched against Diaz, the number of threads on here about how he should be fighting Katsidis and that he's ducking him etc. were ridiculous.

Now he fights Katsidis and beats him and all of sudden he's hand fed.

Everyone's from 135 - 154 lbs deserves a fight with Pac, but the ball is on Pac's court on who he wishes to fight with.
