The Marquez victory over Casamayor is just too little too late to merit a second look from Team Pacquiao. The mathematics in a Pacquiao-Marquez trilogy just does not seem right at the moment. Thus, Marquez is not in the immediate future sight of Pacquiao. In fact, some reports indicate that “Pacquiao is finished with Marquez.” - By Ed de la Vega, Philboxing.com
Marquez became the lightweight champion by taking on one of the best fighters of his generation, Joel Casamayor, a borderline Hall of Famer who just a few months ago scored one of the best wins of his career, and knocking him out for the first time.

Marquez will be left out in the cold in spite of his brilliant win over Casamayor and a raise in his stock. Too bad, but Marquez is simply too little, to late.

Not only is Pacquiao-Marquez III the most important fight in the sport, it now promises to be better even than I can hope.

Marquez is not in the cue unless of course the Golden Boy can offer an insane amount on money to force a Pacquiao-Marquez trilogy because as the crowd showed last night, he too can not draw people to fill up an arena. (Last night’s crowd was just over 7000)

I don’t mean to get all Star Wars here, but “search your feelings”: Do you (Pacman fans) really know that Pacquiao is better than Marquez? Isn’t there at least a question?

McCain is envious of the youth and energy of Barack Obam. JM Marquez is jealous of the youth and energy of Pacquiao.

In a more objective vein, because Oscar De La Hoya and Ricky Hatton are bigger names than Marquez, there will be boxing commentators that don’t make a very big deal post-Marquez-Casamayor about how much boxing needs Pacquiao-Marquez III. If they know the sport very well, though, they should.

There is little doubt the great little Mexican who improved to 49-4-1(36) last night, and who has never been stopped, will be engaging in some super fights to come. Being the proven best lightweight in the world, Marquez has earned the right to face whoever he chooses.
