    Are you serious? Wow, well I haven't honestly seen much of either at 147 to make an informed prediction...:think

    Morales fighting at 147 again?

    I thought he would've be fighting at 140 now.

    Morales should fight at 140 against an okay oppenent & then fight Marquez at 140.

    IT should take place at 140, or even a catchweight around 142-144.

    I'll go with Morales, after this, he needs to take on Marquez, at 140.

    Disagree, if Morales can turn that fat in to muscle at 140, he'll give a challenge to Marquez, Morales reflexes at 147 was surprisingly decent.

    Morales has a good chin also.

    Casamayor and Morales at 147?

    Are they that out of shape?

    I don't know how they will do up there but my guess is Casamayor by decision.

    Morales by ko. This would be a decent fight for both at 140. Then on to JMM.

    Who wants to see this? Two guys who should be enjoying their retirement. I have no interest in this.

    I think Marquez is still relevent in his proper weight class, and 140 or wherever Morales is going to be stuck at isn't it. 135, preferably...and why would Marquez need this fight, really? I think he's probably close to retiring, and the talks about him vs. Katsidis or even Hatton are still in the background.

    Morales vs. Marquez would be an interesting fight, IMO, because Morales has always had a huge chip on his shoulder, and I'm sure he's not pleased with being the ''old fat has been'' compared to Marquez in recent years, so he'd probably look to slug it out. I'd like to see the fight, but only if Marquez is indeed calling it quits, otherwise, on to bigger and better fights, Juan Manuel.
