      Plus a win over JMM at 135 would be greater than a win over JMM above 135.

      Ehh...I don't know, those seem like good reasons to me on why it should be at 135.
      That sounds good and all but the problem with that is Manny will be trying to face Floyd next. I just don't see Manny dropping down to 135 then back up to 147 to face Floyd in the very next fight. Maybe he can do that then take on Berto afterwards and then Floyd but I truly believe that if Manny and Floyd don't fight next spring, that fight will never happen.

      I will say that is a good reason to have it at 135 though....and if he wins, which he will with ease, his wins at WW look that much better as that will be proof he was a LW all this time destroying these huge WW's.

        then i hope Marquezs fights and beats Judah for a fourth title. then lure Pac to fight him at a fair 140 fight. having him goto 147 is bs move.

            I almost agree, but Marquez really is not effective above 135, he doesn't have the size, and he is slowing down.

              1ST take Mayweather off your current active fighter list, 2nd We all know that Pac walks right thru Marquez punches and destroys him. Styles make fights Yes, but at this point Pacs gone beyond and above the level at which he previously faced Marquez. Jmm needs to focus on Judah anyways.

                Pacquiao already came in at 147 at fight night while fighting at 135 or was it even 130?

                  And no title at 140....rather simple
                  Titles have become less meaningful lately anyway and a pacquiao fight will do well whether there is a title up for grabs or not. Pacquiao vs Marquez is much more interesting to watch at 140 than 147, i dont think thats even debatable, so if it happens why not make it interesting and fight at 140 if thats Pacquiaos natural weight? At 140 Pacquiao still has an advantage over Marquez its just not as great.

                    I completely agree...

                    Legacy wise, how would you rate this fight at 135 against the Mayweather fight at 147? About even? 60/40 Floyd fight?
