Comments Thread For: Donaire: Marquez a Bit Too Small For 140 or 147

[DoktorSleepless]

When JMM moved up to fight Floyd all he did was put on water weight,

This doesn't make any sense. You can't just add extra water to your normal body weight. You'll just pee it out. I guess you can retain extra water by eating a lot of salty food, but that's dumb. I think you mean he gained a lot of fat.

Donaire is a *****...he models his skills after Floyd.

Nobody models their boxing after Manny.

because not everyone can do a 7-9 punch combo's in 1-2 sec LOL!!! with floyd?? do i really need to explain? u set urself up for that one LOL! +1

? So Marquez actually NOT HAVING to cut 5 pounds will have that drastic of an impact on his performance against a guy who WEIGHS THE SAME AS HIM?! It's not like he's fighting a welterweight who is walking in the ring at 155-160 pounds. . .

I just don't see how you can say marquez can't fight at 144, when HIS ONLY DAMN FIGHT there was against mayweather?!

People just looking for any reason they can to discredit Manny.. . Doesn't matter, on fight night Marquez will prove what's up, and pacquiao will show that his abilities, NOT this perceived "size advantage" will take the fight for him. . . Look for a SWEET, two-way action fight where Manny starts to pull away around the 7th, and stops Marquez in the 10th.

You are an idiot if you think that Marquez is comfortable above 135, the Katsidis fight was the time that I saw him enter the ring looking like a natural lightweight, he looked like a blown up featherweight vs Diaz and Casa.

And you are also an idiot for not realising that the whole idea of having a catchweight is so that both guys can meet at middle-ground in order to ensure a fairer contest.

It is absurd that Pacquiao has " conceded " a weight that he cannot actually make himself..... and it is fkn mindless that you could endorse that fight taking place at welter when Pacquiao has already admitted that his best weight is 140, and we all know that Marquez cant hang at 147.....

Nope, Nonito Donaire knows much more about boxing than you do, and so does Doug "the Pacquiao fan" Fischer.....

" However, this fight only makes sense to me if it takes place at junior welterweight (and I would hope Marquez would weigh-in under 140 pounds). Why Pacquiao and company refuse to even consider fighting Marquez at 140 pounds (instead of the 144 or 147 they stipulate) is a very good question. The answer is obvious: they want every conceivable advantage against their aging but still-dangerous nemesis ".....

I bet you think that this fight will prove who is the best fighter "once-and-for-all"?

Your post was just more " isnt Manny wonderful " bull****.

Anyone can throw insane combinations against stationary targets with no head or lateral movement...show me all these street-fighteresque combinations in either Marquez fight...Manny tried that garbage and got popped in the grill everytime.

Hell, show me these "7-9" punch combinations in the Mosley fight (oh thats right it is Mosleys fault for not being a stationary target with no movement)...I swear u pinoy think Pacquiao is faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, and able to leap tall buildings in a single bound.

Some people just dont get it. When JMM moved up to fight Floyd all he did was put on water weight, this time he is doing it right, the same way Paq did it himself, by adding muscle. I would not be surprised to see JMM stay at 140 after this fight instead of moving back to 135. They will both weigh in within two pounds of each other and be within two pounds on fight night.

Pac-morons

Only an idiot would insist that a lightweight and a welter are the same size.

Its like they cannot comprehend the difference between a divisional limit and fight-night weight. They all need a punch in the face.

[LeadUppercut]

oooooo snap, *******s going to dis-own Donaire for telling it exactly how it is, exactly how EVERYONE called it back in 2009..

Nothings changed other than the fact we ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL know JMM who's nearly 40 can not perform well at WW.

Good ol' Pac fighting irrelevant fighters for the past few years and now a LW...

co-sign, good post, pac-clowns are morons.....

Amen to this. Pac at 130 used to come to the ring at 145-147 lbs. At 147 he used to come at 145 - 148. The only significant difference here is that at 130 Pac has to re-hydrate by 17 lbs mostly fluids. Having stayed at 147 for years, and trained hard with unlimited food intake, plus the scientific strength and conditioning routines introduced by Ariza, Pac has actually converted the 17 lbs re-hydration weight at 130 into additional and permanent muscles. So at 147 Pac is fighting in his natural weight and no longer has to re-hydrate. THIS IS A HUGE ADVANTAGE FOR PAC. Although Marquez can follow the same, he only has two to three months to do it which is too short plus his AGE.

So on fight night PAC and JMM will weigh the same but JMM will be facing a very different all muscle beast this time.

the irony of donairy about fighting smaller guys is hilariouuuusss
