Pacquiao-Marquez 3: Roach Would Want it at 145

[iHateThePacMan]

You guys still hasn't answered the question why is it not ok for fighting floyd at 145-147, but its ok to fight JMM at 140-135. What are you guys trying to do here? Please be consistent with your answers because i don't get it. What do you think of manny? Shape shifters, that he can bulk as many times he want? If you guys want him at WW let him be the weight he is confortable. He is now a big draw and a champion, roach knows he can do what ever they want? If you don't want it fine, you don't get to fight Pac? Simple as that

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]

That's some bullshti right there....they know that at 145 they all but secure a win....I guess everyone is looking out for their own interest (as they should) but I hope Marquez and his camp don't take the fight at 145....135-140 is where it's at IMO

lol what about hatton? that lad just got the itch back and roach is already eyein his remedy!

Pac would KTFO marquez and floyd will say he already beat marquez and did it better.

[El Talegon]

am a marquez fan but at 145 marquez will get koed. no ifs ands or buts. id like the fight at 140 or less if it dnt happen at that weight then i would care to watch a distruction

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.

how you gonna say that marquez is not competitive at anything above 140 then say Floyd beat Marquez more convincingly thaN manny when it was at 144 and floyd weighed in at 146

I just said on the last page that it's perfectly fine for Manny to fight Floyd @ 145.

145, 147, 140-whatever ; it doesn matter. Why? Because Manny/Floyd is a fair fight at whatever weight from 140-147 because of the size, speed, and skill level involved there.

But fighting Marquez at anything above 140 is not fair. Did you not see how fat and slow he looked at 144?

FFS!

So what floyd did to marquez at their catchweight was ok?

Because he did beat Juan Manuel Marquez more convincingly than Manny Pacquiao.

I never said it was fair, man ; Floyd fucked him over on the scales, and on fight night.

He was a goddamn Junior Middleweight against Marquez that night, and as a Marquez fan ; it ****** having to watch such a solid guy like Marquez be taken advantage of like that by a ****head cheat like Floyd.

But on paper he beat him more convincingly.

Manny definitely beat the better version of Marquez, though.

Though I thought Juan Manuel won the rematch, but that's another debate, for another day.

So what floyd did to marquez at their catchweight was ok?

who said anything about it being OK...Floyd was crucified for that farce of a match

his fight w/ Floyd is exactly the reason why its NOT ok for him to be fightin at 145 or above 135

[-Boxzilla-]

What are you trying to do with pac at 140- making the fight even. But then when pac does it you guys ***** about the catchweight.

i dont get what ur trying to say ... all i was saying is not making it so pac has all the cards in his favour ... 140 is a real weight class 145 isnt. only reason roach would want it at that weight is for advantage, something at this point pac wouldnt need ...
