Manny Pacquiao is going to fight again, but he should be mindful of when—and where—that next fight occurs.
Fairly or unfairly, every move he makes—from the selection of his opponent to the results inside the ring—will be compared to those made by Dinamita.
With both fighters on the same card, those comparisons will come fast and furious—and without the benefit of hindsight.
Pacquiao would be wise to keep his distance from Marquez until he's sure that he's up to the challenge of facing him one-on-one again.
The risks involved with fighting on the same card as Juan Manuel Marquez simply outweigh the positives that Pac-Man and his promoters hope to gain by staging such an event.
