By John F. McKenna (McJack): It’s kind of interesting how much flak WBA/IBF/WBO/IBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (56-3, 49 KO’s) has taken for his upcoming fight with Frenchman Jean-Marc Mormeck (36-4, 22 KO’s). Many boxing observers and fans have been highly critical of “Dr. Steelhammer” for taking on the former WBA/WBC cruiserweight champion.

Marquez wants Pacquiao rematch on May 5th, but doesn’t want Vegas
By Chris Williams: Now that Floyd Mayweather Jr. is firmly out of the picture for a mega fight against WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao for early 2012, 38-year-old Juan Manuel Marquez (53-6-1, 39 KO’s) is speaking up saying he wants a fourth fight between him and Pacquiao, but not in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Marquez the best opponent for Pacquiao to make a lot of money against next
By Chris Williams: If Manny Pacquiao and his promoter Bob Arum’s main objective is to make the most money possible for the next fight for Pacquiao, then a fourth fight between him and Juan Manuel Marquez (53-6-1, 39 KO’s) is the direction they need to go in because Marquez will bring in more money than the other potential Pacquiao opponents Miguel Cotto, Timothy Bradley, and Lamont Peterson in early 2012.
