J.M. Marquez vs Mosely at 147

[Taeth]

This is ridiculous. Why on earth should the LW champion of the world need to go up to WW and fight someone as big as Berto? At least when Pac first stepped up he drained Oscar down to the level of a corpse. And of course, here are the Pac fans saying that the hated nemesis Marquez must go up to WW and fight a young undefeated champ in Berto to get his shot at Manny! It is laughable, it truly is.

There should never be a fight with Pac at 147 and Marquez should stick to his guns on that. Furthermore, it looks to me like a fight with Mosley will mean that a Marquez fight can not realistically materialise until at least a year from now. By then he will be 38 and to make him move up to WW too? Fuck that! Marquez should not agree to fight Manny unless it is at 140. One guy comes down and the other moves up....just what Manny did to Oscar, but Manny has no issues losing those pounds whatoever which levels the playing field and we get a fight which is skills against skills rather that "I am used to being heavier and stronger and now I will crush you".

Otherwise Marquez should forget about it. He has beaten Manny twice and we all know it. Just as long as Manny is satisfied with the one paper W over Marquez he has on his resume, right?

Oscar wanted to move down to WW, and he actually tried to come in light against Pacquiao because he underestimated Pacquiao's punching power and boxing skills. Everyone was telling Oscar he could easily outbox Pacquiao, and he came down way too early, and couldn't even rehydrate any weight back on. Oscar shot himself in the foot there.

Why would Pacquiao move down when he was the way bigger draw unless he wants to fight at 140? It makes no sense, and Marquez has no barganing chip to work with. Manny holds all the cards in negotiations, and Marquez would have to come up to 147 to face him. Like mayweather did with Oscar De La Hoya. If you want to fight the guy who will make you the most money you have to play by his rules.

IT IS WHAT IT IS AT THIS POINT
Who should JMM fight next. IMO, either Bradley or Khan. At this point, that fight would be better then a Berto fight at 147. For one JMM would lose. 2. The weight limit is 147. If Manny can fight at 140 first and get use to the weight in a victory, then he can just go up a few more pounds so his body can adjust. Jumping up so far in weight at one time against someone who been in that weight division spell disaster.
