Comments Thread For: Marquez: I've Accepted The Pacquiao Offer, 144-Pounds

[lacson]

What's everybody whining about the catchweight for. Didn't you guys read the article? Marquez wants a catchweight of 144, just so GBP can't match Top Rank's offer. GBP was gonna use Alvarez to match that offer but Marquez thinks there's no way Alvarez can make 144. Otherwise who cares if the weight is 147, they can both come in whatever weight they want between 140 and 147. Come fight night we all know Manny will be at 149 and Marquez at whatever.

This good for both of them, this needs to be settled once and for all, Marquez got 1 more shot (which I think he won't honestly pull off)

I'd like to see pac vs Sergio Martinez! That dude can def fight and does not run

[Evil Abed]

unless pac suddenly declines at an amazing race, this wll not be the case. jmm vs. floyd is the only time we have seen jmm above 140 and he was slow, much slower than floyd. pac is faster than floyd in just about every respect but reflexes. i see this fight being a one sided beating a la margarito. i have no interest in seeing pac beat up a punching bag. jmm's countering abilities will do **** for him at that weight.

JMM's speed has little to do with it.

His timing negates Pac's speed and aggression to a point.

JMM was forced to be the aggressor against Floyd. Something hes not the best at.

JMM is more comfortable waiting for a Pac, then chasing Floyd.

Sometimes he would throw a right at Pac knowing Pac would come right back and catch Pac coming in.

JMM can still do this, if his chin can hold up.

@Julian 25, you just have a lot of problems.

i think ur doing a lot of hoping. jmm may have the timing but if ur reacting much slower than ur used to, i think its pointless. i think it will be. with that said i hope he hires a conditioning coach.

His conditioning looked pretty good in the Kats fight.

144 is fine,its what marquez weighs on the night of his recent lightweight fights,no excuses about weight and size.

Pac has improved and actually mosleys tactics will have been half good preperation for re adjusting to marquezs counter punching style.

good fight,cant wait for their score to be settled, sure floyd will have a fake fight for money and "tuning" up for pac fight should he grow some nads.

[blind4]

guess Paquiao going 2-0-1 against Marquez

[pistol whip]

To quote the story on the main page...I "drank the promotional Kool-aid" on the Mosley fight cause I wanted to believe that he was a worthy opponent when I knew better. This time around, after Marquez's lackluster or shall I say embarrasing showing vs. Mayweather, I won't settle for buying this 3rd fight in the trilogy.

Obviously someone has never heard the saying styles make fights. Using triangle theories never ever seem to work for example Cotto, Mosely, and margarito. If those 3 fighters dont destroy the whole triangle way of thinking then i don't know what does.
