    Marquez still has to bulk up considerably to make the 147 limit. **** what anyone says, Pac has grown into the division. The fight should be at 147, and Pac wouldn't want it any other way.

    Pac had zero issues going down to 143 last time.

    Physically they're still the same size. This is Marquez's 4th fight at 140 or over.

    Marquez wont bulk up, he simply wont cut weight like he used to.

    Even when him and Pac were fighting at 126,he(along with Pac) used to weigh over 140 come fight night.

    jmm will make the weight fine, hes older and its harder to make the smaller weights going on 40. im sure he has stayed in good shape and kept his muscle on him, he will be fine at 147. hell he can come in 145 144 if he wanted to.

    Pac's not too little for Marquez, so the full limit of 147. Same way he wasn't too little for ODLH or Joshua Clottey.

    For some reason, though, sometimes he's too little. Like with Cotto.

    What? Marquez has indeed had to bulk up considerably in his fights over 140. And did you see him against Fedchenko? He has extra muscle that he's never had before at lw and slw.

    Pacquiao weighed in right on the limit with Bradley and then came in over 150 on fight night. Sure, he could make 143, but he has to work a bit extra nowadays. One has to add muscle to make the weight, the other has grown into the division.

    he bulked up well, but his timing is still impeccable despite being slower and older

    He was saying on Golpe a Golpe that he plans on coming in around 143lbs, so he wont come in too heavy.

    At this point the weight probably shouldn't matter.

    You do know that JMM dont have to bulk up just to get 147 right? he just come in at 143 or at his most comfortable weight to beat pacquiao. if he tries to bulk up just to get into the limit, which is dumb, he would be sloppy as **** and he wouldnt move freely against pac.
