    Can JMM come in at his normal weight?

    I know that the catchweight is 144 and everyone knows Marquez is sluggish above LW, so can JMM legally come in at his normal weight?

    I'm pretty sure he can come in anywhere under the contract limit.

      Yes he can, but then he has to deal with being outweighed by Pacquiao of maybe more than 10-15 pounds, but im sure Pacquiao fans will be ok with it, as long as Mayweather isn't the one who outweighs Marquez.

        of course he can.

        i think jmm should just train like he normally does but just not cut weight.

        weigh in at like 141-142 and not put on as much weight.

          Manny came in at 144 for a junior middleweight title. That would be like Marquez coming in at 137 for the welterweight title. 'Nuff said.

            i don't know how pacquiao can weight 10-15 lbs. more than marquez.

            pacquiao has been coming in 147-148 or so in his fights. fight night weight.

            not much more than jmm fight night even when jmm is fighting at 135.

            i mean how much does jmm weigh fight night at 135? 142-143?

              If I was Marquez I would just come in the prime fighting weigh even if it under 144 lb. Skills are what are going to beat Pac not size

                He should just train like he normally would for a Lightweight fight.

                He shouldnt be on the scales weighing anything more than 138 pounds.

                  Dude... 15 pounds?

                  He was 141 on fight night when they fought at 130 in 2008. Pac will weigh about 148 as usual. How the hell will Manny out weigh Marquez by 10-15 punds?

                    I have a feeling that's what they're going to do. Nacho said he wasn't concerned about the weight since the two "rehydrate even" by fight night.
