Manny vs Marquez with a 147 limit... Why not??

[VoodooChild]

It's been a few years since they fought since then pacquiao has improved a hell of alot, he's Alot bigger and stronger since then and imo if he's turning margs face into pizza then he's going to wreck an older jmm. That being said if jmm does make Pac look bad it might give mayweather the confidence to step in the ring with pac

I wouldn't say "A LOT" bigger. On fight-night Pac is coming in about 3 lbs more then he was in 2007

I agree.

I hear people b1tching about this but I dont understand what the problem is. It was shown in the Pac-Marg fight that you can come in under the minimum for the weight class so if JMM feels better weighing in lighter then so be it. Pac will come in his normal 144-145, JMM can come in whatever the hell he wants under 147 and fight night they will be within 3-4 lbs of each other. Whats the problem??

So you happened to learn that first time from Pac-Margo fight?

pacquiao has to stuff his face to make 145 and he was 142 without even dieting why does 140 hurt pacquiao. Yeah they weigh the same fight night but that doesnt matter what matters in a fighter making weight is what the weight does to your body and if you pressure marquez to make something close to 147 your pressuring his body to hit a figure he doesnt fit. 140 is fair and if you don't see that well idk.

In case you didnt know, WW is anywhere from 141-147. Therefore JMM doesnt have to try and come in anywhere near 147. If you look at the history of both fighters weights come fight night, both usually come in around 145. Marquez actually came in at 148 against Katsidis. At WW, neither fighter has to train to cut weight. How is that a bad thing?

Marquez can weigh in at 135 if he likes for this fight. What's the problem?

[MaD RoBoT]

weight isn't the problem, they can fight at any division they want

they're both blown up featherweights anyway

the question is could JMM handle Pac's power now & still give him problems along the way

I agree, I'm wondering why people have a problem with the fight having a 147 limit?

I was a little unclear on the specifics, but the Pac-Marg fight confirmed it.

[VoodooChild]

So no one can tell me why this fight shouldn't be at a 147 limit?? No one??
