I've been reading some comments, and how can Marquez be bigger than Pacquiao, if JMM has to move up from 135lbs to 144lbs in weight for this fight, and that's a fact. If Manny is so "small" why have the weight at 144lbs, where he has to eat to the point of vomiting to even keep the weight!(like in 24/7).
This could've been a good trilogy, but Manny and his team f@cked up a good fight for the fans, this is potentially down there with the Roy Jones jr and Bernard Hopkins rematch, which was a complete circus act and didn't do anything for the fighters or the fans.
lol @Flamos and Pactards,
It's just a shocking reminder of how small Pacquiao is at welterweight that Marquez looks bigger a couple months before the fight. I've seen posters say stupid crap like Pacquiao will eventually settle at 155 or something before he retires. Dude doesn't even weight that much when he's not boxing, it seems.
Still, doesn't make the fight any more legit.
The fact is that they are separated by 2 weight classes period. They may be close to the same size outside of training. But as far as fighting weight, Pacman is clearly bigger. Marquez's water weight gain after weight in is not the same as Pacman's weight which is all muscle. The fight is an absolute farce. Worse than B-Hop-Jones 2 because Pacman is supposed to be the best fighter in the sport. Yet he only fights when the cards are completely stacked in his favor. 3rd bull$hit fight in a row for them.
They are pretty much exactly the same size when it comes to stats except Marquez has a slighty bigger upper body whilst Manny carries a lot of size/weight in his legs. Have you seen his calves/quads? Huge for a guy of his size.
If team marquez dont make the mistake of bulking, I expect JMM at fight night to be @144, he wont be pushed around as PAC will only be enjoying ~4lbs @148...
imho they are about the same size, PAC enjoying weight advantage while JMM enjoying height and reach...
