Comments Thread For: Sources: Pacquiao-Marquez To Be Held at Catch-Weight

[kidrak]

Pacquiao will definitely hav the advantage at that weight. Marquez is a natural 135lb fighter he is at his best in that weight. Pacquiao is now a natural welterweight and is at his best. In fact I believe Pacquiao has trouble making 140. I mean if ur ripped the way Pacquiao is at his supposed walk around weight then ur not going to be able to loose to much weight. So Pacquiao at his best training his body to fight between 140 to 150 and Marquez at his best training his body to fight between 130 to 140. Anything more or anything less each fighter looses something. If the catchweight is between 143 - 145 then the advantage is for Pacquiao regardless of wut they weigh fightnight because it comes down to the way they trained to achieve peak conditioning. Marquez wants the fight he is willing to do it at any weight luckily he gets the catchweight but this fight should hav happened a long time ago at 135 too bad Pacquiao didn't want it then. Who ever says Marquez is doing it only for the money Marquez has been chasing Pacquiao way before he brought anything to the table. Should be a good fight only because Marquez believes he already beat Pacquiao before and believes he can do it again.

yah this is a good fight but the weight is not advantage for pac..as they say even if they fight at 140,at fight night marquez will weigh around 145-148..this is a good fight if floyd wont fight..

*** that... pacquiao loves ***ing his opponents with the weight.. ****** catchweight champ... marquez should just fight judah for the 4th weight title

are you ****ing serious? Marquez is the one asking for the catchweight. My question is, should Marquez win will he be given full credit for the win or will he be accused of draining Pac?

Why should it be at 135 or 139 dont be ridiculous

Why should pac dehydrate himself while marquez can stay hydrated and not even try to cut weight

Pac is a welterweight now, he can make 140 yeah...but 135? thats a joke

If its at 143....i wouldnt have much of a problem....if it was at 140 id think it would be great, but that aint happening

thats the same question we ask about the Cotto and Margarito fight.only difference is Pacquiao can still make 135 easy.so your weight drain argument goes out the door.whats good for one is good for the other.

based on that logic why cant marquez come in at 135 or 139 which is his best and pacquiao coming in at 144 -145 whichalso is his best? and stop whining like a biaatches

your right that would be better, I do think Marquez is aware of that and thats the plan.what your gonna see is a welterweight vs a jr.light welter weight in the ring only after that I would love to see Pacquiao at welterweight vs Martinez at light welter weight without you girls "whining like a biaatches" then it would be an even playing field.
