    Naturally, Roach will want it at 147, since Pac is already comfortable there & we all saw how it was too much weight for JMM to handle when he fought PBF.

    And Marquez's camp will lobby for 140, probably & even though Pac could make it, Roach wouldn't allow it to happen.

    How come PBF isn't factoring into any of the equations here?

    Pac will kill him at 140. He will rehydrate comfortably to 144-146 while Marquez bloats to 146 like he did in his last fight.

    HAs to be 140, Alex Ariza said Manny can make 140 easy and I agree. 7,000 calories a day to make 144

    As much as I like to see JMM take the 3rd fight convincingly, I believe Manny is just too fast & Juan is damn near 40 yrs old!!!

    What Berto did tonight tells me Andre just might be able to bully Pac around a bit, ya know?

    i'd prefer this fight be done at 140. pac can still make the weight and jmm wouldn't have to go up too much

    Floyd has backed himself into a corner where the people will only accept a fight with Pac and no one else (unless it's someone much much larger)

    Anyway, I'd prefer that the fight be at 140, it makes no sense to have it at 147 unless it's for a belt (and who cares about those?) since Pac makes 140 easily. If Pac can weigh 144 while having a full breakfast in a fight where he's supposedly supposed to be heavy then I'm sure 140 will be a breeze for him.

    That being said, having the fight at 147 will hardly be an advantage for Pac since it won't affect his fight night weight and the extra 4 lbs Pac has to drain were the fight to be at 140 will be negligible for him.

    140 or 147, either way I'm sure on fight night JMM will be around 145 and Pac will be around 148. JMM won't bulk up if it's 147 I think since it clearly worked to his detriment against Floyd, and since Pac is smaller than Floyd, he won't have to.

    IMO, I think it'll happen @ a catch weight of 144. I don't think Pac will go down to jr. WW and I don't think JMM will go 147.

    Anything above 140 and we know Manny is pulling a Floyd!

    No not really. Hernandez wasn't moving. He was too slow. Pac would be moving from side to side and use his foot work to confuse berto. As much as I like berto's hand speed, He's not gonna be able to catch up on Pac. Besides, Pac has a great coach that will create a plan on how to beat and KO Berto.

    kindly give me a link about that 7k cal = 144. afaik, that was during his early prep to marg and he was walking around 149.

    id like to see it at 144 (same with fmj/jmm) unless *****s will admit that that fight is meaningless, then id also say that pac/jmm at 144 and above is also meaningless

    would be nice for pac to defend his 140 pound title..

    marquez beating up katsidis didn't prove anything we already knew..
