Comments Thread For: Roach: I Want Pacquiao-Marquez, But at 147-Pounds

So its a cherry pick.

Why does this guy always have to have some kind of advantage going in.

well if we go by Roach yes it's nothing more than a cherry pick

[starkiller]

why 147???thought manny could easily make 140......see sometimes roach talks to much

Manny wants to fight fight Marquez where Floyd fought him at, and thats at 147.

Good old Roach always looking for some type of advantage.

Only looking for the same advantage that Floyd had over Marquez.

so then by that same logic a third JMM fight will have the same lack of significance and largely dismissed as a stay busy fight that Mayweather vs Marquez had?

Why not 140? It's not fair at all for JMM. Roach Cmon Son (ed lover voice)

marquez will be destroyed by pacquaio right about now. ****, lets hope he gets by katsisdis 1st. on papaer he should but dont be surprised if he gets his ass kicked.

Pac weighed in at 138 for Ricky. Do it for 140 - seems fair to both sides. But I doubt Pac would compromise with JMM or to anyone for that matter.

Yup, but oh well. Its obvious that Pacquiaos camp doesn't want to go down in weight since Pacquiao feels comfortable at 144 and above. Maybe they can make a catchweight at 144. But I don't think Manny's body wants to go below 144 anymore in my personal opinion.

Also, I find it quite hilarious we're all looking past Katsidis. I think Katsidis could very well pull off an upset. Do I favor Marquez? Yes I do, but its not out of the question that Katsidis could beat Marquez.

147 = Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

as long as you see it as nothing more then cool by me

and Ariza stated Manny can indeed go to 140 with no issue at all


and actually I agree I think JMM vs Katsidis is a way tougher fight for JMM than people are saying. Kats is sturdy rugged and very strong at 135 he could wear down the older JMM if JMM's age has caught up to him

People get mad when Roach says stuff like this, but the guy seriously just says whatever comes to mind at that particular moment because he's constantly having the exact same questions thrown at him.

Case in point, don't take him seriously.
