I hate to see my favorite fighter cash out like this. This video is for the fans that actually believe this is a fair fight.
0:43 Interviewer Q " Was the weight too much or was Floyd that good?"
Marquez A " Floyd is very good, but the weight is too much for me. I connect my punches but I couldn't move "it/him?". It was too much a difference."
Interviewer Q " So with that in mind does he move back down to lightweight or maybe 140?"
Marquez A " Yeah, we'll move back to 135 or maybe 140"
Also if you watched many fights of Juan Marquez, you could immediately tell in that Mayweather fight that the weight slowed him down big time. He will be fighting at 144 same weight as the Mayweather fight and he will be a sitting duck for Pacquiao. Not fair

Then we have a match. Fans think that Pacman is not good either. They claim that Pac just fought shop worn inferior fighters.
The facts support that , since JMM Pac has fought shop worn and CW fighters , its not imagination its FACT WITH PROOF .
Off course JMM is going to claim weight after the fight , does that make it a lie , NO , just means he is not going to harp on that prior to the fight because his job is also to hype the fight , it just amazes me that Pacs advantages are known prior , then afterwards a win is just as big to the Fanboys in spite of the handicapped opponents , actually they get bigger , look how crap the Mosley fight was , they were shocked how bad Pac looked for a few days they were run of the forum , then somewhere it became a great win because Shane was chicken and he would have got killed if he stood there ,,, lol fanboys .
He wasnt forced to sign it, he could have stuck with GBP or gone another direction when his contract came up and still made good money with not such dangerous fights, but he thinks he can beat Manny and is obviously happy enough to have signed the contract so I dont see the problem.
manny pacquiao doesn't belong at welterweight either. he is just that good. is marquez? i think he has the potential to be.
he isnt that good
he is avoiding the bigger better challenges at the lower weights against guys that can match his speed and box circles around him

Manny has power and speed at welter so how does he not belong at welter? And don't say he short he's 5'6 1/2 cotto is 5'7. Marquez on the other hand has no power and speed declines at welter. Manny wants all the advantages on his side except it.
If the money is right, welterweight is a weight he can make. If he loses to Pacquiao, he will say WW is not for him.
Same thing happened with Mayweather. Marquez said the weight will not be an issue, after the fight, he claimed the weight was too much and he's going back down.
De Ja Vu all over again, after the Pacquiao loss. You'll see.
Juan has won more rounds against Manny over two fights (not debatable.) He drew in one, and lost by a hair in the other. Just as many people saw him winning one or both as did Manny. That means at a fair weight for both, Juan at the very least fought Manny on equal terms. It took father time and a bull**** weight that Marquez himself admits he cant cope with for Manny to get a legit win. Pathetic. Yet another example of a fighter who is hall of fame bound, but nowhere near hall of fame quality at the time Manny fights him. Next up, Sugar Ray followed by Roy Jones Jr, then a jump up in weight to fight Ali!!! All time greats, and those will look just as good on Manny's resume as most of his wins do.
for the pac fight, jmm willl get his tune up to get acclimated to fighting above 135 lbs... jmm will have had 2 fights above 135 by the time he fights pac... with wifeb**ter... i mean gayweather, he had none.
so let's wait and see how he does with david diaz before we start making excuses
I don't think it really matters if the fight is at 147 or 140. Pacquiao will weigh the same at fight night anyway. Same goes for Marquez. The only difference is that they would have to dehydrate slightly less before the weigh in. I just think Pac could have avoided the unnecessary criticism by making the fight at 140. I do think the best fight would be at 135, but still believe 140 vs 147 won't matter for a Marquez/Pac fight.
I still don't get why Pac couldn't settle for 140. He could have easily made the weight. It probably won't matter it the end either way, but he could have avoided the criticism.
Because it slows JMM down , its an advantage move to take speed away from a counter puncher which effectively shuts his A game down , Roach does not force a CW for nothing , and yes he forces them , no CW no fight .
