    but why cut weight for?

    just training as he normally does , without bulking up , he's probably around 140+.

    he makes 135 by cutting water weight.

    no need to do that especially when he can just train as normal without dehydrating himself and still make 144.

      He can, but it would put him at a pretty bad disadvantage. A lightweight Marquez will have a hard time staying upright against a 145 pound Pacquiao.

        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?
        Sometimes around 137 or 140. My point is, the fight should take place at 130 or 135 or something in that range.

        Marquez is gonna be SLOW and bloated at that weight, I got Pacquiao by KO.

          He should come in at his best weight. **** it, look at the heavyweight division. Valuev was basically 150% of Haye's body weight.

            Marquez was 145 against Katsidis and around that same mark against Diaz in the second fight.

            He will at most be giving up 2-3lbs on fight night, yet someone he is too small for Manny? Yes Marquez weighs 135 at the weigh in but that's because he cuts weight. If Manny cut weight, like every other boxer, he would be between 135-137 at the weigh in as well.

              True.........


              He doesnt need to be throwing stones in the mountains or drinking piss. No need to bulk up. I think that was his mistake against Floyd. Being stronger wont help you against Floyd or Pac.

                bud , jmm hasn't fought weighing 137 fight night since probably 126 days.

                he should come in the same size as he does for his lightweight fights. 140+

                just don't dehydrate and skip meals.

                do what pacquiao does.

                pacquiao cuts very little weight fighting at 147. he just comes as is.

                  yup. 145



                  weigh in at say 142-143 , come in 144-145.

                  he'll be good to go. PLUS he didn't have to dehydrate/cut meals. that should be a bonus.

                  helped pacquiao out that he didn't have to dehydrate/cut meals to make weight at 147.

                    Why are people obsessing so much on weight advantage? It's not like Pacquiao rehydrates like Victor Ortiz. There wont be much of a weigh advantage. The only advantage is that Pacquiao will be at a confort zone and Marquez will be once again fighting at a weight that he's not familiar with.
