Being the same weight on fight night doesn't necessarily mean they're the same size...don't know how you got that outta me...and for the record, in the plainest of terms, Manny and Marquez are NOT the same "size" and will not be the same size, I assume, when and if they meet at 144. It's like I said, I like the fight, I don't like the weight...English isn't supposed to be this complicated.
How do fight fans feel about Pacman Marquez at welterweight??

Manny still fight the same way against moving target, but the weight will make a huge difference which is the reason why team Pacquiao wants to use the weight disadvantage against Marquez as a comfort zone for Manny. If Marquez stand right in front of Manny without using any range gap space, then it'll be over in the first round.Comment

From a fan's perspective, it should be...I don't know what else to say, I thought I made myself clear for that other poster. If you're wondering why it's at 144, isn't that clear as well? Who's challenging who? Think about it, why would you bend to a challenger's demands? It's not an argument, it just is what it is. Oh and, I think he's kind of a small welterweight, but he's a legit welter no doubt....no doubt about it anymore atleast. In the Mosley fight, for the first time, I thought to myself, 'he's really filled now huh?' I can no longer picture him going to 135, to 140 sure...a little water weight, and a couple missed meals here and there, less strength training, more cardio...he can do 140.Comment

JMM doesn't have to make the WW limit. I think it would be a huge mistake if he does try to bulk up like he did against PBF. However it was understandable to do it against PBF because PBF was actually a legit WW, but he doesn't have to against Pacquiao. JMM is only at a disadvantage fighting at WW if he actually tries to fight at WW or is fighting an actual WW. Since Pacquiao is the latter all he has to do is come in what he is comfortable in.Comment

I think it says alot about him, people talk about how he so great but the more he fights since he's more popular now the more I lose respect for him. I liked him at smaller weight classes but now it's like all his team does is look for advantages over other fighters, slow guys, old guys, guys with no defense, etc. And espn riding **** all day like he doing great things. Marquez had no power at welter and is slower, pac has more power and maintains speed. Not to mention pac never can make 147 so they could have easily made the fight at 140 but nooooooooo they as usual being pu$$y.Comment

He's not even a welterweight at all. With today's 24 re-hydration period almost no welterweight comes in on fight night at 147. Fighters who come in at 147 are big lightweights and JWWs.
