Boxing fans unite - Pac vs JMM @ 140 is what we want

dangerousity · Dec 2, 2010

I want Pac-Berto 147 or Pac-Martinez at 158. Not gonna happen though.

igor_otsky · Dec 2, 2010

going to 147 doesnt mean you have to weigh in 147 on fight night. 140 is still good though. Pac can still go down 140.

With the talk of Pac-Mosley being all but confirmed for April 16, we still have some time to make our voice heard before it becomes official.

As Kellerman put it during the Martinez broadcast, Mosley is unacceptable as the next oppoinent for Pacquiao. Shane is one of my favorite fighters but his last two fights show that he represents nothing but a cherry picking, cash grab for Pacquiao at this point.

Pacquiao's reputation is that of a warrior who takes on the biggest and baddest challenges out there and for most of his career, he has.

Lately his opponent selection has been very questionable. We were happy with Cotto, even at 145, because he is a warrior and we were hoping that pre-Margo Cotto would show up that night. Either way, this was a great win for Pac and the nail in the coffin to those who questioned Pac's greatness.

We were all disappointed with Clottey and Margarito but gave Pac the benefit of the doubt because both opponents had significant size advantages and Mayweather did not appear willing/able to make the fight. Deep down, we all knew that neither guy had much of a chance against Pacquiao and they were selected as Pac's opponent for that very reason.

Marquez is the only fighter to give Pacquiao trouble since his loss to Morales almost 6 years ago. The two Pac-JMM fights were as good as any we have seen over the past decade and, while Pacquiao has improved immensely, Marquez has come back from the one-sided drubbing he received from Mayweather and looks as dangerous as ever. We know he has the style that presents a real challenge to Pacquiao and is one of the few fighters with a heart that rivals the Pacman.

Ariza has stated many times that they have to feed Pacquiao an abnormal amount of food to even maintain weight in the 140's during the later parts of camp. Most Pacquiao fans will tell you that his best fighting weight is 140, despite his brilliance against welterweights. 140 is a weight for Pac where he would be able to train at his usual pace and simply cut weight by adjus*ting his diet. Marquez is a natural lightweight but normally fights between 140 and 145.

Pacquiao has made his opponents at an "advantage" cut weight below what they are comfortable at to level the playing field because he is the smaller man, meet in the middle as they say. Now they are claiming that Pacquiao is a full welterweight and thus any fight with Marquez must be at 147. This is the type of contradiction that screams duck.

Boxing fans, let's unite. Please post your support here for Pacquiao vs JMM III at 140 pounds as the real fight to once again validate Pacquiao's legacy as an ATG and a warrior. Anything else (assuming no Mayweather) is unacceptable and will not be supported.

Thanks

Class post.

If not Mayweather, if not Martinez, if not Amir Khan, then its gotta be Juan. Those 4 fighters are best for drama as of now.

yes please, Pac vs JMM at 140 :bbb

EJDiaZ · Dec 2, 2010

Pac-Marq 140

jpjp7 · Dec 2, 2010

why not pac fight JMM at the same weight FMJ vs JMM

sandy mac · Dec 2, 2010

pac and freeddy always go for a catchweight to drain thier opponants lately. Ariza has already said that pac can easily make 140. He has to eat 7000 calories a day to make 147. Both fights with Marquez were questional decisions. Marquez has been chasing this third fight for years. If manny can desyroy Luan Manuel so easily ,why not do it? One more time at 147!!1

DobyZhee · Dec 2, 2010

make the fight at 147...Marquez can come in whatever weight he wants, just like what Pac did against Margarito..

turk182 · Dec 2, 2010

hmm.... so people here were up in arms when cotto had to shed an additional 1 lb from his previous weigh-in to fight pac but now greatly approve of pac draining another 4.5 lbs. from his previous weigh-in for this third marquez fight. :-(

eff that, Berto is a better fight for Pac at this time. Pac will get nothing for beating a guy he has beaten twice before.

Hatesrats · Dec 2, 2010

Since Pac & Shane are on for April...
JMM should throw his name in the 140lbs ring.
(& pray for Bradley to win against Alexander... WBC championship becomes vacant)

^Morales Vs. Marquez for the vacant WBC championship.

Marquez should dump GBP. He will get a +50% chance of getting the fight.

Mosley almost KO Floyd at the 2nd rd. Mosley wins at least 1 rd against Floyd.

JMM lost all rds to Floyd and Got KD once!! You think JMM can beat Mosley? I dont think so!! JMM hasnt even beat a welter nor Jr welters.

I say Mosley is more qualified opponent than JMM. JMM need to beat a welter 1st before he can earn the right to face Pac again.

Alexander has more Hometown fans than Bradley. He can at least fill 10,000 in his hometown. Bradley?? Good luck.
