Do you honestly think Pac Marquez 3 will be competitve.

[lebrick]

I'm a big Marquez fan, but hell no.

At 135 of course, even 140.

But 144? I've seen how Marquez handles weight. Even if it were againest Mayweather or not, **** even a bum Marquez wouldn't look normallly.


Marquez can easily make 130 still. He has to build for 35 actually.

He has to build more muscle to think about being competitive. He'll be sluggish and slower. An easier target for Pac, and he won't catch Pac as often. If he comes lower than 144 or even 140 he'll be limping prey basically. This guy doesn't belong above 35 clearly. Slower, fatter and his punches look to have 0 effect. Doesn't look too goo for Marquez.

what would be their fight night weight? a 4lbs difference?

marquez can come to the scale 135 as he wish if he thinks he is best at that weight. but even at those previous 135lbs fights, he came in at fight night at 145ish

pac on the other hand came on fight night at 148-149.

people seems to act as if pac was literally bigger than JMM by 15-20lbs..

both guys are lightweights and don't ask why not fight on lightweight then.. because any famous guy who is currently calling the shots would hate to lose weight if he have the luxury of not losing it.

this is not about physical size because if it is, clottey and margo would have won. this is about the size of the heart. JMM might not be able to beat the bigger guys pac fought but for crazy reason, pac can't really beat him so convincingly.

i hope it will be a competitive fight for the boxing fans to enjoy.......

war... pac-jmm

[Hi-Dro]

gurantee marquez will weigh in at 141

I hope he does that

[lebrick]

I hope he does that

he better be.. contract weight is 144 MAX. there was no minimum requirement. so he better came there where he thinks he is comfortable.

He'll come in at his comfortable weight.
Then everyone will make an excuse that Pac was too big at fight night.
You know how it goes.
It will be a short night and both will go on a night out San migs + karaoke.

I see this fight ending up like something like Vazquez-Marquez 4, Pac being Rafael, JMM like Vazquez getting severely cut up by punches and the doctor will stop the fight.

If the fight goes the distance, then Pacquiao sucks. This is a 2 year older Marquez than what Floyd fought. On top of that, Pacquiao has been active, Floyd was coming off 2 years of retirement.To add to that, you got the Ringling Brothers Freddie Roach and Alex Ariza going on record about a mid round stoppage.

I don't buy the The Destroyer's hype. Not only do I think it's competitive but I think Marquez has a legitimate shot of winning.

All this talk of Pacquiao knocking out Marquez fast is nonsense.

Marquez's plan is the same as the other two fights. Backpedaling two three mini steps and keep Pac moving all night. Marquez should concentrate on his stamina (his legs) and try to do the same as first two fights. Marquez should probably come in at lower weight. Move to plan B (a la Mosley) when things go wrong.

The fight really depend on Marquez's legs. His accuracy is still there. I am not sure he can backtrack with the proper speed and counterpunch well all 12 rds now. We all know his ability to get back from a KO at lighter weight. But I don't know how much he got on his legs. Hope he doesn't get hurt. Shane knew he was in for the $$ after 3 rds and knew he had very little chance and move to plan B. Hope Marquez does the same if things don't go well 1st three rds. If I were Marquez and I got caught on the rope multiple times like the Katsidis fight, time to move to plan B. DO NOT trade on the inside with Pac on the ropes. Marquez will get hurt. I don't think Pac will want to touch glove this time considering how much criticism he got for it. But could be interesting if Marquez's legs hold up.
