Pacquiao-Marquez 3: Roach Would Want it at 145

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

145-pounds is Manny Pacquiao's lucky number. It was the contracted catch-weight for last Saturday's bout with Miguel Cotto, where Pacquiao captured the WBO welterweight title with a twelve round stoppage. Pacquiao's trainer Freddie Roach would also like 145-pounds as the contracted weight for a super-fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr. If a deal for Pacquiao-Mayweather falls apart, a likely option is a trilogy bout with Juan Manuel Marquez. One would expect for that fight to take place at junior welterweight, but Roach would want that fight to be a welterweight title defense at, you guessed it, 145-pounds. [details]

Wtf? Juan would have no chance at 145. 140 would be interesting, and manny can make 140 easily. I think manny only wants a KO victory.

[Don Flamenco]

Why not 140?

This would be another great fight for the real boxing fan... for all the marbles

This.

Roach and Pacquiao just want to knock Marquez out for some sort of revenge. Revenge on Marquez for giving Pac all he could handle when they were both in the lower weightclasses, and a nice bit of revenge on Floyd for beating Marquez more convincingly than Manny did.

Bull**** fight. Marquez is not even competitive at anything above 140.

no way!!!!! 140 is acceptable, 145 is disrespectful for marquez
