    It was a horrible fight all along. I hated it, but had to support the underdog. It doesn't mean that I ever really thought he had a chance though. In fact Mosley's performance simply magnified how much he has slipped and how Manny struggles with anyone that attempts to use a little movement and to the side on him. Marquez would pounce on those oppenings and would throw in combination. Mosley threw 7 right hands all night.

    It is quite obvious that Marquez would be a worthier opponent. And yes at 140. Pac takes off a couple of pounds and Marquez moves up an entire division. There is no good reason why Manny cannot make that one sacrifice.

    Yeah. Make a sacrifice for the benefit of your opponent I hope Martinez can do the same.


    Seriously. 140?? If Pac is going for pure legacy here. he should go for 135 for Juan's Lineal Title. 140 doesnt make sense. Its either 147 for Pac Welter title or Juan's Lineal Lightweight title.

    It makes perfect sense. One man goes up and the other comes down, then the grudge match is on. It is daft to expect Manny to boil down to a weight he might not now be able to perform at and it is equally daft to ask Marquez to jump two divisions again in his mid to late 30's.

    If Pac wants to fight Martinez then go for it. I've been reading that Martinez might well come back to 154 because of the lack of big fights at MW. Equal fight as well. One goes up and the other comes down.

    147 down to 140 is not an entire division? Mosley was 147 last night

    It makes perfect sense to you

    By going down it means Pac is going for legacy. Marquez is the Lineal Lightweight champion of the WORLD. they should fight at 135 if Pac is going for Legacy. if not depend his belt at 147. its very simple really.

    But Pac isn't even weighing in at 147. It really is less than a division for him.

    As for this legacy talk, I don't know what you are talking about. Mosley was for legacy? Margarito? Diaz? He picks and chooses his opponents for money or paper trinkets, on that basis a Marquez fight at 140 makes complete sense. To get the man who many think beat him twice. Otherwise, who is he going to fight? Andre Berto?

    My point is. If Pac agrees to go down it means he's going for Legacy. 140 doesnt make sense it should be 135 for Juan's Title. Why are you arguing about 135? that is Marquez's current weight right? he has zero fight at 140. so what's the problem with Lightweight?

    No, I understand quite clearly, but even I, as much as I want the advantages to be in favour of Marquez, cannot imagine Manny ever agreeing to fight him at 135. If it were a possibility I would be all for it, but I have a hard time seeing Manny give up two weight classes just to give Marquez every advantage. I just think the only realistic chance of the fight getting made is at 140 and even though it wouldn't be for a belt, I don't think that matters. The names alone will sell the fight. Manny is at the stage now where belts don't matter, but he really does need credible opponents.

    The answer is . . .
    Pacman vs Bradley(at 140 for Bradley's title)
    JMM vs Judah(at 140 for Judah's title)

    There is no way in hell Pac is going down to 135, so i don't understand why you are arguing about it. This fight should be at 140, or as much as i hate catch weights 143.

    Pacquiao v. Bradley at whatever weight - Bradley has won fights at 147. Same goes for Judah who has fought many fights at 147. Judah would be destroyed though. It wouldn't be close. In my opinion, it's Bradley or Marquez.

    AGREE!!!
    Point is, that will give Pacman a chance to get comfortable again making weight at 140. Same with JMM. Giving a fight a 140 so he can get comfortable. Then they can meet.

    Don't be surprise Manny take on the weak chin and suspect defense in Ortiz.

    Pac fights Marquez at 135 so he can claim another lineal title?

    Funny.

    I'm sure Pac and his team will seriously consider giving up an advantage over a fighter that has taken him to the wire twice just so boxing nerds can call him a lineal champ. Deary deary me...

    Yeah, I was behind Mosley the whole way and I was disappoint time and time again. I knew Mosley was completely shot when Manny was making crucial mistakes, like overthrowing his right hook, and Mosley, despite making him miss three times, wasn't capitalizing like he did against Margarito. He's one of my favorite boxers but he needs to retire and pass on his legacy or something; don't want to see a legend get hurt/embarrassed anymore.

    One thing about boxing you never really know what to expect. We don't even know if shane ever even considered winning this fight. He had to hype it to increase revenue but i doubt he really even belived he could win even though convincing so many he could. But this fight being made in the first place was just plain silly. We'll get crap like this fight more and more till we do it mma style and have the best fight the best. Put this ppv fight up against any of the free fights mma puts on free on spike and see what most choose.
