As A PACQUIAO Fan and BOXING fan, MARQUEZ at 140 or 147?

He looked pretty good at 145 yesterday, so why not, imo?

 

Both guys should weigh in where they're comfortable, there won't be a huge difference on fight night.

 

catch weight is the most ideal for both parties

pac's side will want 147... **** maybe even 150
Jmm's side will want 140.....

might as well settle in between

 

The thing is he doesn't want to come at his best weight and then have to give up 4-6 pounds in mass his opponent will have; that advantage will make Pac harder to hurt and more likely to hurt Marquez. Without the catchweight there is no way for Pac not to have an advantage. It's kind of surreal since he is a natural 140 pounder who could make it with only one or two weeks of weightloss leading up to the fight.

 

That's what I've been saying. Everyone knows that but why is Marquez insisting? The fight at 147 basically means both can come at any weight. Say Pac at 146 and Marquez at 144. It makes me wonder if Marquez is just putting his name out there with Pacquiao as much as he could.

 

:rofl:rofl I can see that **** now

 

I doubt of this fight will even be competitive at this stage. Marquez is looking more and more past his prime in each fight (obviously he fared better against Katsidis than he did against Floyd due to the size and quality of the opponent), whereas Manny hasn't really missed a beat in my eyes. If they force Marquez to fight at Welter it'll be even worse.

Regardless, he proved himself when both were closer to their primes.

 

Honestly even if they do say 147 or nothing its not gonna be much of a difference... Pac has barely ever weighed 150+ on fight night.

 

Anything is better than Mosley.

 

I don't know why they would want 150 when Pac came into the Marg fight at 144.. although I don't disagree with you.. Pac's camp are def. that twisted n stupid..........

 

I see your point, what is Marquez really trying to do here? Manny would have no problem re-hydrating to his target weight right?

 

I thought you hate catch weights?

 

144 seems fair for both fighters, no need to dehydrate.
