    Catchweight would be the best option here, maybe 143, although Marquez is correct that he would be at a significant disadvantage above 140. Even 140 is dangerous for Marquez, he is not a large fighter.

        How can Floyd Mayweather be a runner when Juan Manuel Marquez
        calls him out knowing damn well that Floyd campaigns at 147 & would possibly not be interested in moving down to 140. If JMM want the
        fight that bad he should be ready to compromise instead of going at another retired fighter that poses less threat for him at 140 in EriK Morales? JMM is not even trying to go at Nate Campbell, Timothy Bradley but a guy that has been beating up majorly before retiring? My whole thing is that JMM should have been prepared for something like this to happen.

          Floyd knows his chances at 140 aren't great.

          But, I think if JMM wants to continue to outdo Pac like he has been doing, moving up 2 weight classes and beating PBF would be waaayy more impressive than what Pacquiao did against DLH..

            Wtf?!?

            Pooh, pooh floyd! How can he even contemplate of boxing the ears off JMM even if the latter called him out?? He is really stooping too low! Been saying all the while that FMW-JMM is not viable because of too much weight discrepancy. Floyd can go down to 143 and still wins the fyt hands down (my opinion, ok ). I can’t imagine the reactions of floyd fanatics, how can they give truthful argument to defend the actuation of their hero.

            Huh! JMM must be trembling now that his wish might just come true. He wasn’t careful enough when he uttered floyd’s name out of disgust over Manny.

                Am pretty sure that this fight can happen at 140 for both fighters.

                    I actually agree in regards to Juan Manuel Marquez obsession with Manny Pacquiao put him in a situation that he is not too sure about and I think he put his foot in his mouth because no one really thought that this fight had a chance to be made but see what happens when you leap before you look.
