JMM at 140 or 147 ? 147 is a mismatch in favor of Pac.
Explain why you think JMM isn't effective at 140 or 147. How many times has he fought above 145? Once. Who was it against? PBF. In the last 5 years, tell me a fighter that DID look effective against PBF. Not being effective against PBF doesn't equate to not being to handle fighting at 147. It is premature to say that Marquez isn't effective above 135. Let's see him fight one fight at 140 or 147 before we jump to conclusions. Personally, I believe that Marquez is a bit overrated generally, but I'm not going to say that he can't be effective above 135...at least not yet. The truth is that at this point in their careers, when we've seen Pacquiao improve tremendously in the last three years, and seen Marquez stagnate during that same time, Pacquiao is just on another level at this point regardless of weight.
He even looked slow in recent wins against Michael Katsidis (dropped), Juan Diaz at 135 and got clocked repeatedly. So now he should jump up to 147 and eat Pac's recipe for doom ? Absurd
