If a Pacquiao-Mayweather fight gets made I think it would only be fair to make it for 144/145 pounds. Marquez on the otherhand does not belong there at all. But even at 140 or 135 Mayweather still smashes Marquez in the same way like he did on Saturday.
    just contradicted yourself something fierce there bud, and fuck this catchweight crap, Pacquiao and Marquez are big boys already, they should know damn well what they can and can't handle, Marquez deep down knew he couldn't beat Mayweather but since it brought the most money well he chose it, and before everyone starts, i thought Marquez showed guts in fighting him, but hell who wouldn't fight Mayweather for around $15 mil, Marquez has plenty of big fights at 135, Valero, Katsidis, Guzman, Reyes, Demarco, Funeka, or the guys that can move up from 130, Guerrero, Soto, Martinez, Linares, as for Pacquiao, i don't wanna hear the same bull that Mayweather is getting if Cotto beats him up bad, IMO neither belongs at 147
    Credit to Pacquiao and Marquez for having the balls to move up in weight and be underdogs against the best even if money is the motivation.

    I'm not quite sure of your point but Cotto doesn't deserve the grief Mayweather is receiving about fighting smaller guys because Cotto has fought Mosley, Clottey, Margarito, and a handful of other top ten welterweights. He deserves a fight against a smaller man and he is fighting a smaller man who beat Hatton and ODLH, which makes it more legitimate. This was Marquez's first fight against anyone above 135.
