If you were JMM trainer, would you have him weigh-in at 144?

    Or would you have him come in at a lighter weight barring any binding contract stipulations saying he "has" to weigh-in at 144?

    141, to maximize speed and reflexes. Obviously Marquez feels he's got to be as strong as possible to withstand Pacquiao's assaults when he has to, hence getting a doctor to preserve the speed.

    Just have him come in at his best. I wouldn't be targeting a specific weight. If he trains his body to its absolute prime condition, he'll come within the 144 limit very easily.

    Sharpness, speed, skill and intelligence will win him this fight. Not power, size or strength.

    They're not mutually exclusive. Lets hope hes had a proper strength and conditioning coach this time and a nutritionist, and not just throwing rocks around hills and drinking his own ****.

    Hes going to be basically the same size as Pac, as he always has been. Pac will be high 140's in the ring as always,Marquez will be mid to high 140s too.

    They're basically the same weight. Marquez weighs in the mid 140s when hes fighting at lightweight. When he fought at super featherweight he weighed in the 140s!
