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

[Cash Cow]

Sources in Mexico are reporting that a third meeting between Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez will likely have a catch-weight in place. Three weeks ago Marquez received an offer to face Pacquiao in a fall trilogy meeting. Marquez had a problem with some of the items that were listed in the agreement. Pacquiao's promoter, Top Rank, is going to issue a new offer to Marquez on Monday. The revised offer will include several changes in areas that bothered Marquez. The catch-weight, reportedly, is going to fall between 143-145-pounds. Pacquiao has weighed between 144-145 for his last four welterweight ring appearances.

the Catchweight KING is at it again

I thought JMM was a blown up lightweight when he fought Floyd at that weight?

Now 2 years later he is fighting Manny at the same weight and everyone is excited?

[IMDAZED]

When JMM calls out Floyd, he agreed to a catchweight of 144 even though Floyd didn't abide to it, came in at 146.

Now JMM is still calling & trying to land a fight with Pac and you are complaining that JMM is moving up in weight again w/c is a disadvantage for him.

Question is, did you complain when JMM calls out Floyd and moved up in weight?

I sure did. I called the bout nothing more than a tuneup for Floyd. Years later, it's happening again which is even worse. But hey, d*ckriding Pac fans will buy it. Like they did last Saturday. And the last bout. And the one before that.

hahahaha WOW all these Floyd fans in this thread NOW saying Pac can make 140 and should fight at this weight but yet claiming Pac was ducking Martinez at 154? that JMM fighting above 140 makes him slow except for the fact that against Floyd, JMM at 144 was the same fighter? as SFW?!

pac better go up to fight martinez at 154 or go down to fight jmm at 135 if he wont then he's ducking and we'll still say he's on peds LOL... u guys say jmm going up to 144-145 to fight pac is a mismatch and that pac can make 135 yet u guys said martinez coming down to 150 is a mismatch and that pac can make 154 LOL?? wtf?????

I'm not worried. I don't pay for tuneups. Manny's had a lot of those lately.

[MidBoss]

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

^ true that... fight at 143..

[Deevel916]

Can someone please explain to me how Pac is going to have any advantage if when the bell rings, both fighters will weight practically the same? Even when JMM fights at 140, he still comes in around 145-146 and even came in as high as 148 against Katsidis.

I don't think Pacquiao can make 135 I think he would have a hard time making 140. I think its bull when they say Pacquiao has to gain weight to make weight. My reason is that he has basically been fighting at his walk around weight but yet he is completely cut and ripped for each fight. And its not like oh I can see his muscles no he's shredded and u can't see an ounce of fat. So his muscles aren't going away and since he doesn't hav fat to loose he wont make the weight or hav a really hard time. I think that's why question come up about weather Pacquiao is legit because no one has ever seen someone go up in weight like that and look ripped in every weight class he has fought. Also there is no doubt he has gained power because the Pacquiao that fought Morales could not knock down Mosley not even the one that fought David Diaz. None of the guys he fought in the lower weights stopped fighting after being hit with Pacquiaos best shots. Maybe Pacquiao is a freak of nature that is why he can do wut he does. Unless God really does give him the power to beat the crap out of his opponents.
