Can JMM hang at 140?

[bestboxingonly]

Yea I agree, the one problem Marquez might have is that he doesn't clinched or at least tries to avoid something like that. He's a bad match up for Hatton for sure.

considering how desperate cambell is for some money , and how terrible he looked in his last fight , give jmm him for an easy tune up and than hatton/pac

140 is not a good division skills wise......hattons strength might get to him....i think bradley can beat him due to the extra size plus his skills.....

jmm can compete at 140 but he needs to be somewhat selective about who he fights

I didn't realize Bradley held in such high esteem. Good showing against Whitter I guess but I was overly impressed. Am I missing something?

Yeah I think he is overrated on this site, he is a good young fighter but makes some mistakes. I think at this moment kendall holt is a more experienced and complete fighter and I think he'l beat bradley

Marquez came in at 140 last night, which was just the same as his fight time weight at 130 when he fought Pacquiao and Juarez when. He even weighed at 137-38 when he was at 126 (Jaca, Salido) at fight time.

Despite moving up two weightclasses, Marquez did not really get bigger, he was just draining less weight prior to the weigh-ins. Unless he employs the likes of Mackie Shilstone, he may not fare well at 140 because he would be going up against fighters who would easily have 10 or so pounds on him come fight time.

I'm honestly not sure. If it were up to me, I'd have him stay at 135 and be the face of the Lightweight division.

[MANGLER]

I think he'd do just fine at 140.

Do you guys think JMM can be successful at 140 pounds? Before the Diaz fight I picked JMM to destroy Diaz and while I give Diaz credit for being a very good fighter I think a lot of the reason he did as well as he did was because he was the bigger stronger guy.

In my opinion he could beat a lot of the top 10 of the division based on his skills and I'd even pick him over campbell but I think Hatton would just be physically too much for him. What do you guys think about his chances against the division as a whole?

Actually it will be good for his body to go up in weight he kind of struggle to make it and i also agree that he is a very skillful fighter he can beat top opposition in 140lbs.But guys like Hatton,timothy Bradley,Junior Witter,will prove to be too strong for him unless he can prove us wrong wich i believe he will!!
