Oh and most of the people saying Marquez is gonna lose in 5 rounds are all Ricans that are just all sour g****s about all the fighters on their Island becoming useless journeymen.

Agreed, on all points.

A lot of people (mainly casuals) think Manny is this whole different animal at 140 +, because of what? Cotto and Hatton? Margarito, Clottey, and Mosley were all weak fights, and easy wins.

And like you said, Pacquiao had the right hand devolped already in the second Marquez fight.

Perhaps his power has increased a bit with the added weight, but his speed has definitely decreased. And Marquez really only struggled with Pacquiao's speed.

I say Pacquiao will be able to put Marquez down yet again, but I'm hardpressed to think of another fighter (active or inactive) who can come back from a knockdown (or multiple knockdowns) as aggressively as Marquez can.

very good couldnt of said it better myself.

I assume you're referring to me? No actually Vasquez and Juanma being overrated have nothing to do with my prediction that Marquez will be stopped very early. I could honestly see him being stopped in 1 round or 2. Btw I think he just edged out both Pac fights.

the WW division is 141-147 so JMM can come in between 141-144 for the catchweight.

Wrong LOL. That's what I thought how it works too but it's wrong. PAC came in at 144 for a Jr. Middleweight fight 148-154.

Wait, so does this mean that JMM has to weigh 144 or can he weigh less as long as he doesn't exceed 144?

We should all start a charity. The Juan Manuel Marquez Piss Pot Fund, where we all donate urine for his fight with Manny. He's going to need all the help he can get

The 144 pounds is a limit You can come in as low as you want. That weight just can't be exceeded.

Don't understand the hate on Marquez. He's a first ballot hof'er an exciting fighter, a great technician. To me the most entertaining guy to watch for both people that like the sweet science and people that like fighting. He can box or brawl and shows unparalleled determination despite not having the greatest physical assets.
