Why Pac vs Marquez should be @ 147!

    Margarito fought 147lbs throughout the majority of his career. Master Roach was correct, they should have fought @ 147lbs. But Congressmanny was so nice, he gave Margarito extra three pounds, so they could bulk up to 150. Margarito surely made good use of this as seen in the fight. :good

    Pacquiao weighed in at 144 during the weigh in where he was in a now comfortable diet... not forced fed, nor deprived as they requested Roach that they stop the force feeding program of Papa Alex Ariza ten days before fight night which Master Roach happily obliged. :thumbsup

    Although Congressmanny is a weight-jumping miracle, to lose seven pounds just to accomodate Marquez is a slap in the face for Congressmanny. Why?

    Because Marquez is 3/4 of an inch taller, has longer reach, broader shoulders. In short he is the BIGGER MAN! :patsch:patsch:patsch

    If he is pound-for-pound quality as he advertises himself, he MUST go en route Congressmanny has accomplished....NO BUTS!!! He is the BIGGER MAN and needs it more anyway, right? I think this is fair, unless he is coward and admits he can't accomplish what Congressmanny has. If this is the case, it means that Marquez is NOT THE NEXT WORTHY opponent of Congressmanny.

    What are your thoughts guys? Please let me know and be fair with your take. My pekpek is itching to know....you know. :smooch

    Whatever, it should be at 140...Pac beats the **** out of him anyway...JMM is past prime now...his urine just doesn't have the same amount of nutrients these days.

    1. Margarito was drained at 150, plus they wanted his paper belt, that's why it wasn't at 147
    2. Don't call him Master Roach, you sound like a character from tekken
    3. If they force feed him all training camp and stop 10 days until they fight, that must mean they could get lower than 144
    4. If he's the bigger man, why does Manny weigh more than him now and when they fought. Paul Williams isn't bigger than Mike Tyson just because he's taller
    5. well if Marquez has to prove himself as being a top fighter, then Manny should prove himself a clean fighter by taking to drug tests
    In conclusion, make the fight at 140:hi:Manny can eat a normal diet and train hard and still make 140

    The only reason roach wants it at 147 is so that Pacquiao can disregard the discomforts of dieting and weightloss that a fighter generally has to deal with. I give Pac huge credit for his weight jumps, but the luxury is not entitled and nobody wants to see JMM dragged up so far already being past his best weight. Pacquiao would not have to cede 7 healthy pounds under his proper weight, but weigh in after the generally routine struggles of losing weight. Pacquiao at 147 has an advantage 99 percent of other fighters do not. Losing four pounds to weigh in at 140 the night before the fight is only fair.

    It was a farce when floyd did it and would have been even if he had made the catch weight. I don't want Pacquiao to do the same. JMM deserves better than that and deserves a decent comfort level in order to respect the sport of boxing and the spirit of competition.

    They should fight at a weight where it will be the most COMPETITIVE. Either that, or don't even make the damn fight. The WW experiment failed for JMM. He cannot carry the weight effectively. Make it at 140, or as close as possible. Don't worry PekPek, Pac will still have ALL the physical advantages anyway.

    Only reason the Margarito fight was at 150 was for the "eighth world title", which actually means jack **** nowadays. Margarito was not a top 100 P4P fighter in the world and nowhere close before his fight with Pacquiao, so I don't know how or why everyone is singing his praises as if beating Margarito puts him in the top 10 all time, whereas after the Clottey fight, no one was saying such foolish things.
