Marquez: It would be better if the fight was at 140, 141

Excuses already?

 

Everyone knows thats the obvious and even Manny knows it. I would like for Marquez to still weigh in at 140 and send a message im not going to get trick. He doesnt need to get as big as in the Floyd fight.

 

wouldn't make sense for Pac to fight down at 140 knowing that in his next fight he might face Floyd at 147 again. He is already smaller than Floyd as it is.

 

Who is the welterweight champ?

JMM needs to play by the champs rules and stfu

 

You can come in at 142 JMM.

 

cop out.
So Manny should have asked Clottey for a rehydration clause, because he has to play by his rules

 

Even if he needs to eat that much to keep his weight up, it's still a bad idea to completely change his training regiment in order to fight Marquez at 140 and then once against completely change his training regiment to get back to 147 and fight Floyd. Especially considering that he already has a size disadvantage against Floyd to begin with.

 

He's right. Should still be a great fight. I'm intrigued by what his conditioning plans are; I suppose we'll get a peak on 24/7.

 

Pac actually moved up for Cotto more than Cotto moved down for Pac. Pac wanted the fight at 143, Cotto said no lower than 145 and that's where they fought.

 

Whatever weight you fight at (for pac i agree his optimum is 140) its not smart to keep dropping weight then going back up to 147. Its just not good for the body and its not good as a long term plan, so i disagree with this statement, regardless of his optimum weight being 140.

He is now campainging at WW and he needs to stay as close to WW as possible for as long as he continues to fight at WW.

It may be fine doing this if you have body fat to loose, but when you are a boxer and have next to no body fat like pac does, loosing a few extra pounds can make a big difference to performance and longetivity.

Hes already had a jump up in weight and i dont think could have helped him either.
