JMM vs Paq at 140+

Its no secret that Juan wants another piece of Paq, and rightfully so. The first two fights were close enough to warrant it. Paq is my favorite fighter, but Juan is also one of my favorites, and I would like to see them fight again. However, I feel that Paq has improved drastically in the time since their last fight. In the first fight, Paq lost most of the rounds and won on knockdowns, in the second fight, the rounds won/lost was about even, meaning Paq won more rounds in the second fight than he did in the first. Paq can still make 140, he weighed in at 145 against Clottey despite eating breakfast on weigh in day. I really think that at 140 or over, Paq would make Juan and even the former version of himself look bad. I want to see the fight, I think Paq wins convincingly. Thoughts?

Pac in theory should be too fast and too strong for him. And would probably stop him. If this is indeed the case, I don't understand why they seem reluctant to fight JMM. They should accept that many people saw both fights go both ways. They should go out and finally dead the situation and make more money. Margarito and a vacant JMW title shuld be available at any time.

Pac would win, probably by KO. JMM would outbox him and tag him up regardless of weight but he's slipping physically while Pacquiao is still other worldly in that regard, so I don't think he would handle Pac's speed and power any more.

I cant argue with that, JMM is heads above Clottey in technical terms, has very good timing, and Marg simply tries to overwhelm opponents with volume. I think Paq should drop back to 140 and fight JMM again, there is a question that needs to be answered definitively. Old topic, Pac is obviously a beast at 135+ he brings much more strength speed and skill at 140-147 too much for Marquez now. Pacquiao will dismantle JMM now

i think even an old overweight JMM at 140+ would give Pacquiao more problems than the Clottey's and Margarito's of the boxing world.

I thought Marquez won both the fights they had and id root for him again BUT id have to honestly pick Manny by KO at 140 or above, he is on fire and looking better than ever while Juan is staring to a little old and dont seem to handle going up th weights as good as Pac
