JMM: I'll fight him at any weight he wants, not a problem since he was 148

Marquez Rips Manny Pacquiao For Choosing Shane Mosley - Boxing News

JMM is saying weight won't be a problem because Pac weighed 148 against Margarito on fight night, whereas he weighed 145 against Katsidis on fight night. He says he has the skillset to beat Pac while Margarito was bigger and stronger he doesn't have the skills to beat Pac. JMM also says that Pac is making excuses that the public doesn't want to see it but who would want to see a washed up fighter that lost and drew in his last 2 fights or a fighter that beat Pac twice, although the record doesn't show it as JMM said.

To be fair if he can't get Mayweather i'd love to see this again.

They should get it on and put this question to rest - once and for all. Make it a 15 rounder!

I'd love to see 15 rounders return to championship boxing. IMO that really showed the men from the boys!

Yeah Pac is awesome but he needs to stop this shit, that'll be like the 5th opponent of his coming off or only one fight removed from their poorest showing...fight pbf and if that can't be made do it again with jmm for a 3rd time or face a prime welter. Hell I'm not big on berto at all but f it he's young and undefeated, better than facing a past his prime mosley coming of 2 subpar performances.

Before someone mentions that jmm would only be 2 fights removed from his poorest showing, well that was against a bigger skilled man, and at least in between he's faced two top ten lightweights and dominated them.

Well wasn't Cotto 2 fights removed from his loss? But that excuse was still used not to mentioned the weight. So if he fights JMM a 3rd time that excuse will be used if they get it on, not to mentioned it will be said that Pac is fighting Floyd's leftovers and with weight issues, because the fight with JMM will take place above 135 for sure.

The best opponent out there is the winner of Bradley/Alexander who will be a solid top 10 p4p fighter and also undefeated. No one can really say anything about that, but of course if the fight takes place above 140, the people will say Pacquiao beat up a smaller man if he were to win.

JMM is right, it wont matter which division him and pac fight at because they are still about the same size. If it were to be at 147 - both will weigh below that during weigh in and both will be just a few pounds over that if not below that.

However if pac beats JMM outside lightweight the excuse would be - JMM is too small for welterweights

This is interesting because people are saying Pac and Floyd are about the same size - yet when Floyd dominated JMM the excuse was the same - Floyd is too big and JMM doesn't belong above lightweight

If JMM and Pac are about the same size and Pac and Floyd are about the same size. Doesn't that mean Floyd and JMM are about the same size too?

That's true cotto was 2 fights removed from his loss to marg, but one was against jennings, and the other against clottey. Jennings he was expected to win and against clottey he was lucky to win cause clottey decided to be clottey and not do jack shit, he looked far from spectacular. Where as jmm in his 2 fights after pbf has dominated 2 top ten lightweights . I'm not saying jmm pac 3 would be as good as the first 2 tho I think it could be, I'm just saying fighting jmm would be a lot better than fighting mosley.
