Pacquiao/Marquez - a TRUE "old school" fight (same day weigh-in)

[tibbar]

Manny has been consistently training his body for and against Welter-weight competition. Cut the bullshit and see it for what it is; a welter-weight taking on an old light-weight that just barely got by Katsidis. A light-weight that's no longer what he used to be; a light-weight that will have to pack on some muscle in order to make the fight the least bit competitive.

knowledgeable fans knows whats up.

knowledgeable fans knows whats up? its obvious the way you talk you belong to the other side of the fence where ****** people are only you got a computer but just the same your ******ity reflects on your posts.

are you joking? erm i sugest you watch Katsidis fight and the first Juan Diaz fight JMM has been in steady decline for a number of years.

To say a 38 year old who has been in nearly 60 pro fights and multiple gruelling 12 round wars is still in or even close to his prime is frankly ridiculous.

LOL, did you just repeated what you said that he's 38 and 60 fights? I was asking for specific reasons/things that you saw on his last fights(diaz, katsidis) and compare it to his performance against Chris John, Pac and Barrera to start. I can easily say that Hopkins was older that JMM and been to grueling 12 round wars before he fought Pavlik and Pascal to counter your argument.

Before boxers weighed in 24 hours before the fight, they used to weigh in on the day of the fight. . . THIS is what Pacquiao vs. Marquez essentially is. . .

Normally Marquez cuts about 20 pounds to make lightweight, as he rehydrates to 148-150 pounds. Usually a fighter rehydrates to about 5-7 pounds less than what they "walk around at"

When marquez and pac fought the first two times, they both rehydrated to the same weight on fight night. . .

THIS TIME, however, neither fighter will have to cut weight, and they will both walk in the ring weighing the same. . . It's perfect, because NEITHER has to worry about stamina issues. . . we TRULY get to see TWO GUYS THE EXACT SAME SIZE GO AT IT! No bull**** where one fighter is "drained" and the other fighter has a huge advantage from rehydration like chavez jr. had over zbik, etc.

I wished ALL fights were mandated this way ....

Only thing reflecting ******ity here are your posts which have nothing to do with the subject of the thread. As usual, thank you for wasting everyone's bandwidth and contributing absolutely nothing useful to the forum.

Marquez always comes to fight, and age/weight not being an issue he will always be a problem stylistically for Pacquiao.

But let's all be real for second, there is a reason why Pacquiao & his team wanted no part of this fight three years ago, and why this fight is being fought at a weightclass Marquez hasn't been able to compete at.

3 years ago at jww, this fight would have been a hell of a war and a toss up in my opinion. Now there are to many variables and the scales have tipped in Pac's favor, which is the only real reason this fight is being made.

I'm waiting, but I'll understand if you just admit that you're just talking out of your ass.
