Anything but a lightweight that is way past his prime.
Bradley or Ortiz would be fine. Or call out Mayweather.
I mean ****, even that gingermexican would be better than Marquez. Atleast that would be something new compared to the last 6 or so fights.
If hes going for a lightweight, Guerrero is a more interesting choice.
Outside of those there is none. Martinez i guess, since Pac is an 8-division champ, but ye... thats not gonna happen.

I think he should chase Mayweather in media. Going on ESPN and explaining to the world exactly what kind of tests hes willing to do, and call Mayweather out on it.
I guess it's not his "style" but i don't think Floyd will feel forced to fight with this reluctance Manny is showing (i don't know, i don't care, talk to my promoter)
I really don't see what a 143-144 catchweight would do. Thats mannys weight, and marquez is a lightweight at the most.

I don't care at this point, anything less than PBF vs. Pac will be a letdown.
ye but atleast we could ask for a cool fight. manny vs marquez will be more of the same as he has had lately.
why not fight Ortiz? That would be a fun fight at least if probably a mismatch.
