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

[TheSurgeonMDMPH]

I hope you all see the common theme from the p4p farce?
Team pacq creates these BS match ups and u idiots eat it up!

[MJ406]

so by 147 does Roach actually mean Welterweight instead of some silly catchweight?

and funny Roach is mentioning the divisional max (147) for a change

when Pacquiao has fought at catchweights vs Cotto and Margarito

[Shadow boxer 3]

I don't think that it will be fair for Pacquiao to have to go down to 140 just for Marquez and then if Floyd wants to fight, Pac will have to go up again to 147.

Pac should stay at 1 weight class.

but its ok for pac to make his opponents come down in weight to fight him ??? STFU

[Vasyl’s dad]

It makes you look foolish.

I didn't criticize Floyd for the fight with Marquez @ 144 and I won't criticize Manny either, As I said originally I wonder if Manny will get the criticism Floyd got for making that fight at in that weight class. You obviously just missed the point of both my messages.

I didn't miss any point because you had none in regards to what I said.

Btw, theres no need to wonder about it because the criticism is right here in this thread. Virtually nobody wants to see this fight at 147.



I just find it funny that those who gave Floyd a pass, are now criticizing Pacquiao for doing the exact same thing.

Cotto, Clottey and Margarito are all career welterweights.

Whats this "coming down in weight to fight him" s hit?

[IMDAZED]

Unfortunately, it works both ways for most of the people on here. Anyway, this would be a horrible matchup. Way too late.

[lopez36]

When was the last time Manny faced an opponent with speed? Just asking.

hmmmm...good question...let's go down the list:
margarito:slow
clottey:just a defensive fighter,didn't even try to fight back
hatton:way overrated and slow,remember roger mayweather imitating hatton with slow looping punches
diaz:no comment here,one of worst champs in the history of the sport
marquez:not slow but of course not fast,below average speed i'd say
cotto:maybe the weightdraining got to him,but he did have average speed

so your answer is who knows,

[lopez36]

but floyd didn't, he thought marquez would be faster and stronger

he thought,and he wasn't,he looked slow and fat...and since manny saw this,hey why not make him go up,right?

Roach is always trying to win the fight before the fight! Roach always insists on catchweights! Marquez has no chance against pacman at 147. If marquez agrees to it. He will get koed! Manny will fight washed up mosley or 2 little marquez next if they cant get mayweather! & the ****** public will buy into it.

the margarito fight was at 150 catchweight manny weighed in at 144. just cause the fight is at 147 doesnt mean marquez has to be at 147. he can come in lighter. i don't get it he came up for floyd and floyd didn't even make weight. thats ok. let em fight at 147 manny will weigh in at 144 marquez not having to worry about making weight will naturally weight in at about 140 or slightly less. big deal. He fought the suppossed "best boxer in the world" in floyd mayweather and floyd was probably 15lbs heavier than marquez. and marquez got out boxed not beat up. so fighting manny where manny will maybe weigh in 5-8 lbs more aint gonna kill marquez.
