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

[No-mas-tias]

Pacquiao supposedly eats a gazillion calories to be able to stay around 145. Given that, he can easily make 140 and could make 135 without sacrificing himself too much.

Again, 135 is Marquez's ideal weight so Pac's team won't go near that weight.

Also, Marquez showed in the Kats fight he's past it already.

I have been against the Marquez bout for the longest (Reasons you mentioned above).

The problem, however, is that people just wont shut up about Marquez beating Manny. There is a large group of individuals who claim Manny hasn't improved, has fought tailor made opponents, and avoids fighters like him.

Manny is in a lose-lose situation because if he turns the fight down then he is ducking Marquez and feeding into the b.s., but if he takes the fight then he is cherry picking an old LW.

My current choice is Bradley, but if Manny takes that, we will never hear the end of the Manny ducked Marquez talk.

Manny isn't in any lose lose. I don't suck his pipe so I don't think like you. he's had a string of laughable fights, most recently with Mosley. The ship on Marquez has sailed. If he wants to make the fight, it should be below 140. but it won't be. And when it happens, you'll be on here saying, "yeah, it sucks but don't worry he's fighting Martinez next!" Y'all kill me.

shiiit fight. but pac has no other options other than sergio, which i think is asking a bit much. not that much sold on ortiz too.

Manny destroys Marquez, but I will say this, atleast Marquez will come to fight and not give up like Manny's last opponents. The only other fighters I have that type of confidence in are Tim Bradley and Paul Williams.....other than that, I see every other fight 140-147 giving up and going into survival mode against Manny.

I see I cant have a decent conversation with you without you acting like a 12year old kid.

I said I would rather see Bradley, explain to me whats wrong with that?

I agree he could but after watching Roy suffer from flunctuating up and down weight classes, I doubt any other boxer would try to pull something like that.

I know it's slightly different as Roy went up to HW and then went back down, but still you could see the effects it had on his body.

IMO it's not so much the risk in dropping down for Marquez, rather the risk coming back up to WW against a top guy next is what will prevent team Pacquaio from doing something like that.

Catchweight?!

Nothing wrong with your fantasies. You always have one right after he dishes out yet another ****ty fight.

Manny can make 135 now ? this is the same group that said he's ducking sergio at 154

isnt it funny? when sergio's name gets brought up they say manny can make 154 manny just fought marg at 150 so it shouldnt be a problem, then when jmm gets brought up they say manny can still make 135 LOL... im sure manny can still make 135 but he wouldnt be himself or comfortable at that weigh anymore just like im sure sergio can make 150. but the boxers have the final word not the guys on a online forum crying about it...

It's really hard for me to respect posters like you.

If Manny turned the fight down....then you would b1tch and moan that he is ducking him.

Manny takes the fight, and it's a million and one excuse as to why Marquez is at a disadvantage. If it's not the weight, then you guys would use his age..

My question to you is this; If Marquez has no issues with the weight, and neither does Beristain, why are you crying and making excuses?

You sound and seem shook by Manny Pacquiao.

Are you saying weight wise Pacquiao doesn't have the advantage?
of course JMM is fine with it he wants the fight to be made.

are you saying age wise Pacquiao doesn't have the advantage?

Theres no excuses if JMM gets beaten and KO'd... he asked for it despite all those advantages for pacquiao he still wanted to fight him.

just like when Mayweather fought JMM .... does Mayweather get credit for the fight? NO that fight was ridiculous and every one knew JMM was going to lose theres no excuses just reason to why he lost.

you are very aware JMM has little to no chance of beating Pacquiao.

when Pacquiao beats JMM , Pacquiao is going to get no credit just like Mayweather but you know what? it's ok because his going to make Tens of Millions of dollars.

theres nothing left for him to accomplish anyway...

but we're just hoping he agrees to a lower weight to make the fight more competitive and give JMM a slight chance of performing better ...whats crazy or wrong about that?
