I recall the 142 thing - it was said two years ago, but now the Mosley fight will be at 147.
The other thing is that Pac only weighed 144 at the weigh-in for Margarito when the fight was contracted for 150 (which only benefited Margarito I may add). In the proposed Marquez fight, even if the fight is a welterweight fight Pac won't be adding a ton of weight after the weigh-in. How much did Marquez weigh the night of the fight for Kastidis? I imagine the actual weight difference between the two when the fight is at 147 will be marginal. Everyone bemoans catchweights. You can't have it both ways. Pacquiao fought his last three opponents at 147 or 150 - why should he go down in weight? He's a guy who fights at 145 anyway.
How is Pac ruining boxing? He's taken a marginalized sport and making it more mainstream. Time Magazine, Jimmy Kimmel, 60 minutes etc.
Who would you prefer to see Pac fight?
