How can he go out there and try to convince us boxing purists that beating JMM at 147 is worth a damn?
I mean, come on. JMM looked horrible against Floyd, and has never had a fight at 140.....
They kill Floyd (who I dont like) but they want to praise Pac?
The sport is assed backwards.
What a stand OP took to write that post. I mean, the sheer bravery of a Khan fan speaking out against Pacquiao. Somebody deserves a medal. What a joke. Even implying that you, by all rights, should like Pacquiao because he's friends with Khan is ridiculous. You're not breaking ground on some taboo. You're thinking logically. I'm guessing this is unusual. Congratulations.
Anyhow. If it's not apparent this fight is different than Mayweather/Marquez, please read:
Marquez has been begging Pacquiao for rematches the better part of his professional career. That's the first thing.
Mayweather manipulated the weights of their fight and then came in OVER the weight Marquez never agreed to in the first place. He thought it was a catchweight, just in case anyone forgot that whole debacle.
Pacquiao is fighting Marquez only five pounds above his normal weight, and this is a true blue rivalry that's spanned years. So five pounds isn't so farfetched.
Marquez hasn't "dropped off" like people like to say fighters do after they fight Floyd. He's still very much a great fighter. Not damaged goods or leftovers.
Pac last 3 fights he fought at 147 and above. Pac is the man and will never go down at 135 or 140 for anybody unless your name is bigger than him. If you you compare Marquez to Pacquiao. Marquez is actually physically bigger than Pac in terms of hieght, the same reach and bigger bone structure. Pacquaio also will never come to 2 lbs overweight and there is the possibility that Marquez may come heavier than Pac fight night.Mannys come in over a couple times man, don't just straight up lie.

marquez fought that likar ramos guy at 140..it wasn't a great challenge for marquez, but he did it to stay active and to make his move up from 135 to 147 be more gradual. also they're fighting at a 144 catchweight so marquez can come in at 140 1/2 if he wanted to.

dude u butt hurt cus Roach is all over manny's dick and aint got no time for yr glass jawed fraud? lol
get in line, , khan is just another bucket holder for pac n another Roach's dispensible sparring partner for pac. truth hurts :bottle:
Well, i dont criticise Floyd for his choice in opponents.
But i believe JMM looked bad against Floyd, because everyone looks bad against Floyd.
Plus Pac has been criticised for fighting big, slow, come forward fighters. So against JMM we have a chance to see him fight a guy who IMO outpointed him twice, and has proven to give Pac real trouble.
Good chance Pac will blow him away, but boxing is often about styles. And JMM could make it difficult for Pac.
Smart of him to fight a slow, old fighter then.

Umm, Manny is fighting JMM at 144, Floyd fought JMM at 147...
And did you not see the power JMM has at 140? He KOed a bum in 1 round with a punch that barely connected. It will be an epic fight, lol.
pac and marquez are around the same size but that's not the point.
pacquiao proved he can fight at +140, marquez hasn't. but hey, might as well finish this thing he has with marquez. should have been made after pac beat diaz but hey, it is what it is.

Marquez also has bigger molecule structures and DNA strands lol......Freaking double standard red gibing pactardo.......
Last time I checked Pacquiao came in heavier in their fights you dumb packla lol...but ofcourse you will still say Marquez is still bigger even thought Pac weighed more lol...Pacland physics right there lol....
Ill put this in a way a amir fan might understand. Pac fighting JMM is the same as Amir Fighting Breidis Prescott. If Bradley fought and beat Prescott at 147 he would not get much credit and prob get **** for fighting a lightweight. But Amir Fighting him at 147lb would be allot more intriguing simple because of what happened on their previous fights. Although Khan would be the favorite you cant overlook what Prescott did in their last fight, its the same for the Pac-JMM fight. Pac is the favorite but they have a history that makes this fight very much legitimate.

How can you give props to a fighter that sucker punched a cherry picked opponent? Seriously, if you do give props to a sucker puncher something is wrong with you.
floyd/marquez was not so much about weight. it's a bad style matchup for marquez. what do you expect? floyd doesn't come forward like pac does. marquez was forced to come forward. floyd won't. "floyd don't want to fight, he don't want to fight", complains marquez later. meaning floyd doesn't engage and trade punches, he just waits and counters.
:bigeyes:

Marquez shouldn't be fighting over 140 lbs. Even 140lbs is risky for him. I predict an easy KO for Pac and yes it is a money fight... but this fight had to be made at some point. It's unfinished business.

bigger bone structure?
sure, that's why pac looks like a real WW. While Marquez looks like a bloated stereotypical mexican who mows lawns, drinks coronas and loves chivas.
