J.M. Marquez vs Mosely at 147

Mosely is a career 147er. Marquez is unproven at 135+.

I guess the more appropriate question is... Will a bloated JMM be competitive against Mosely at 147?

Anyone with half a brain knows JMM has zero chance at 147 against even a faded Mosley or Margarito at 150.

BTW PSL you're making this thread is trying to justify Pac fighting Mosley when a lot of people are disappointed he took the fight. It is what it is, money is the no. 1 factor for all fighters.

He's not any more bloated than Pacquiao at 147. He's smart enough not to try to come in at 147, he weighed in at 142, and weighed 148 at fightnight against Floyd. That's roughly what Manny does. Stylistically a flat footed, counter puncher who relies on combinations just won't do well against Mayweather who is always light footed, and has incredible defensive skills. I honestly think Manny has improved his distance and timing, and he wouldn't be too trouble by MArquez. I think Mosley is a way more legitimate opponent above 140.
