Pac and Marquez are still about the same weight.

What were their weights, come fight night, the other two times? I think Marquez should be 2-0 but at 140 or above i'll back Pac to stop him.

How many times as Marquez fought above 135? Is it me or was his only foray above 135 against Mayweather? If his only loss is against Floyd Mayweather above 135, could it be that his presumed ineffectiveness above 135 has been exaggerated? Maybe it's just he faced a better fighter in Mayweather. Maybe Marquez potentially could be effective above 135.

Personally I don't he is that effective above 135, but as I said he aint fighting no Welterweight in Pac he is fghting a man that comes in fight night weighing the same as the majority of 135 fighters.


I think Pac would be bad for him at this time in his career.

You're right his only fight above lightweight was against Mayweather. Maybe the contracted weight shouldn't be as much of an issue, taking into account the fight night weights skel put up showing there isn't much difference between the two, and the possibility you raised that JMM's ineffectiveness above 135 may be exaggerated?

Personally this fight appeals to me, though I'd rather it at 140 as I think its a weight both fighters can make without issue and its in-between the 2 weights they're both campaigning at now. For me this fight appeals more than most other possible fights for Pacquiao right now because of the style match up and history between the two, JMM's skill hasn't been diminishing lately and I think he'd still cause Pacquiao problems. It'd certainly be interesting and if a Mayweather fight isn't made next - which IMO is highly unlikely - then I'd like to see the trilogy
