Why are Pacquiao’s fans against him fighting Marquez below 147?
November 27th, 2010
By Chris Williams: Any time the subject of Manny Pacquiao fighting Juan Manuel Marquez below 147 pounds come up, you’ll notice that Pacquiao’s adoring fans start to complain like mad against Pacquiao doing that. Almost to the last man/woman, they seem to be against Pacquiao giving Marquez any kind of weight allowance by coming in a lesser weight than 147. In other words, Marquez shouldn’t get a smaller catch weight if he wants to fight Pacquiao. With them, it’s 147 or forget it. What I don’t understand why they’re so against Marquez getting even a small weight allowance for a third fight with Pacquiao.
Do Pacquiao’s fans feel like he needs a weight advantage to beat Marquez? Is that it? Pacquiao has fought at catch weights in fights with Antonio Margarito and Miguel Cotto recently. Both of those fighters were willing to fight Pacquiao at a catch weight, which helped Pacquiao while obviously not helping Cotto and Margarito. And Pacquiao’s fight with Oscar De La Hoya wasn’t technically a catch weight bout, but it was a fight in which De La Hoya agreed to come down from the 154 he had been fighting at to meet Pacquiao at 147, so the fight could be fairer to Manny. So why then don’t Pacquiao’s fans want him to give a weight allowance for Marquez? If it’s good enough for Pacquiao to have catch weights, why not a small one for Marquez? Do catch weights only apply to Pacquiao and not his opponents?

Marquez could have had a chance 2 – 3 years ago, but I dont think he can beat Pacquiao today. Pac should agree to a catchweight of 145 just like Cotto did
just to make the fight a bit fair or to give JMM at least some chance of winning.
Just also want to point out that Margarito is a Welterweight (147). He wasn’t drained to 150, he had to gain weight so it was only Cotto who had to really
shed off 2 pounds. The Clottey fight also had no Catchweight.
As for Dela Hoya, before the fight the fight, i remember that the weight advantage was very much in his favor.
All you philippinos don’t no anything about boxing you guys get a great fighter and you guys act like you guys know it all!!!. I wish you guys gave that much respect to luisito espinoza I hit fools up about him an there answer I dont no him!!! Wants pacman leaves the sport you guys will be done with just memory of one fighter and the real boxing fans will still be here.
Marquez wants another fight with Pac no more than 143lbs.
Marquez wants another fight with Pac 50/50 purse!
Marquez wants another fitht with Pac but he demands Pac to undergo Olympic drub test!
And you thought this man has no brain problem…
SOOO FUNNY! He’s the one chasing Pac and he’s got the guts to raise demands….
Marquez, your joking right? that was a good one…. I cant stop laughing….. AHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!
Marquez fought at welterweight and never won a round. Although he was impressive against a class C fighters (Katsidis and Juan Diaz), this does not ligitimize him to be a welter weight. When he fought at levels above his natural weight, he was fat and slow and looked so pathetic. Pacquiao will only fight at welter weight since he has no reason to fight at 140 lbs or below. If he fights Pacquiao at this weight, we know what will happen to him. He will get beat up badly like the other Mexican, Margarito! Marquez has two options: fight other welter weights to see if he can make it in this level or just forget about Pacquiao. He already had two chances and was knocked down 4 times.
WE ALL KNOW THAT MARQUEZ HAS ALREADY BEAT PAQUIAO BEFORE!!
LOOK RICKROLLED,
OF COURSE MARQUEZ HAS A CHANCE AGAINST PAQUIAO, EVERY KNOWS THAT!! STOP THE TALK AND WALK THE WALK, LETS GET READY TO RUMBLE!!
In May pac was in negotiations to fihgt with mayweather already for next year, but it fell through, Mayweather didnt want and denied there were no negotations, the drug testing wsa no longer an issue. Instead he took another breif retirement. Thats why even people in ESPN are calling him a coward becuawse its painfully clear he’s avoiding PAC.
As for JMM — he’s not a big draw,not a lot of people watch him, and if yhou think he stands a chance wiht PAC — will the reality is if he fights pac he will be retired. Pac wont come down to a light weight becuase he is a welterweight now. Besides that JMM is taller than Pac. He should be able to make the weight
HERE IS THE ANSWER PEACEMAN:
BECAUSE MARQUEZ IS A TRUE WARRIOR!!
last year marquez was offered to fight pacman. dinamita wanted drug test, why now change of heart? he should insist for olympic style drug test
PAQUIAO AND MARQUEZ HAVE TO FIGHT EACH OTHER AGAIN!! ALL YOU SMACK TALKING FILIPINO FROG FACE MIDGETS, NEED STOP TALKING SMACK AND ACCEPT THIS!!
ONE MORE TIME FOR ALL YOU THAT HAVE NO COMMON SENSE FLOYD SAID WE CAN MAKE THE FIGHT FOR ALL THE FANS IF PACMAN TAKES THE TEST, HE SAID THIS ON A PPV IN FRONT OF MILLIONS.NOT THE TEST WITH A CUTOFF WHERE HE COULD POSSIBLY USE PEDS AND FLUSH HIS SYSTEM STILL REAPING THE BENIFITS OF THOSE PEDS,TESTING UP TIL THE FIGHT!! ROACH WANTED MARGARETO TO BE TESTED RIGHT B4 THE FIGHT CAUSE THEY THOUGHT HE TOOK SOMETHING,AFTER THE COMISSION SAID HELL TAKE THE TEST AFTER THE FIGHT ROACH SAID IT’LL BE OUT OF HIS SYSTEM BY THEN!! TO ME THAT SHOWS ROACH KNOWS MORE THAN PEOPLE THINK ABOUT PEDS. I GUESS IF PAQUIAO USED PEDS FOR SOME RESON THAT SAME CONCEPT DONT APPLY TO MANNY ABOUT PEDS BEING OUT OF HIS SYSTEM BY THEN,SOUNDS VERY FISHY TO PEOPLE THAT CAN LOOK PAST PACS FAKE GOOD GUY IMAGE!
@MEXICUTIONER– U SOUND LIKE ANOTHER DISILLUSIONED PACFAN.THERE WAS NEVER A TIME THAT ARUM ASKED JMM TO FIGHT PAC AND JMM PRICED HIMSELF OUT, FACT IS JMM WOULD TAKE THE FIGHT AT ANY W8 THATS HOW BAD HE WANTS IT AFTER THE 2 FIGHTS HE WAS ROBBED! AT 140 PAC GETS HIS BUTT WHIPPED WE ALL KNOW THIS AND 140 IS A W8 PAC CAN EASILY MAKE BUT HIM AND ROACH ARE TERRIFIED.HOW COME HE WONT FIGHT JMM AT 140 AFTER ALL HE HELD THAT TITLE FOREVER WITHOUT FIGHTING ANY CONTENDERS THEN VACATED IT BECAUSE HE COULDNT AVOID FIGHTERS SUCH AS BRADLEY,ALEXANDER ANY LONGER SO LIKE ALWAYS HE OPTS TO FIGHT EASY SLOW TARGETS! WATCHING JMM BEAT KATDSIDIS MANNY STEWARD JUST SAID THAT PACQUIAO IS STILL A NATURAL 140 AND A FIGHT WITH JMM WOULD BE GREAT, AND OF COURSE LAMPLY AND MERCHANT ACTED AS IF THEY DIDNT HEAR THAT.AT 140 JMM CLOSES PACMANS EYES WITH HIS ACCURATE PUNCHING!!
Who he beat last night? Katsidis? Who’s Katsidis? If Marquez beat like Khan, Bradley or Alexander then there’s a case for a 3rd fight. But he beat Katsidis? He’s nobody compared to Pacquiao’s level. I think Berto has case to fight Pacquiao and they’re both at welterweight. There’s no issue of weight draining Pacquiao. If Marquez want a 3rd fight with Pacquiao then it should be on Pacquiao’s terms.
If Marquez want to figth at 140 lbs, he should fight the winner for Khan & Maidana. Khan ask him before but he refused it because he’s scared. It would be an easy negotiation because they have the same promoter. He just want big pay day. After the first fall out of the negotiation between Pacquiao/Mayweather, Arum asked Marquez but he’s just so stupid asking the same demand with the Mayweather. How could Marquez ask for 50-50 split for a Pacquiao fight? First there’s a lot of vacant seat last night & it’s not a PPV. Marquez is not a PPV attraction. It’s only a PPV when he fight with Pacquiao or Mayweather. It should be on Pacquiao terms or he just need to shut up.
Hey everyone! I am a flomo! I call Pacquiao fans but I don’t do the same thing for Mayweather because his ducking is legit!
I am look…
Cotto? Not a pay-per-view attraction
Paul Williams? Oh he is too big
Margarito? Oh I’m retiring
Sugar Shane? I’ll challenge him after he loses to Vernon Forrest. Then I’ll wait until he’s really old and say that he’s not a pay-per-view attraction.
Pacquiao? Oh, he’s on steroids.
Any fighter out there with a good punch that can give me a good shot to the face and hurt me? Boh, I’ll make an excuse not to fight them.
143lbs is enough!
I think Marquez needs to fight pacman at 147, they are both small fighters, as long as they dont over the weight limit ,its up to them . pacman always weigh less during weigh-in, even it is catch weight at 145 pacman will weigh less during weigh in. just think about marquez-floyd fight.
i’ve read a lot of articles written by you , that pretty much starts with “i don’t understand…”,even though the reasons are pretty darn obvious, so i guess it’s safe to assume that you’re really quite dumb! LOL!!
A lot of people have lost interest in a 3rd Marquez-Pacquiao bout because they’re now belong to different weight class plus the fact that people are getting tired of Marquez constant whining and his inability to be a good sport. Juan is a great fighter but he’s a crybaby which makes him look really bad in the eyes of boxing fans.
Pacquiao should fight Berto (unless Floyd sign). Marquez is great at lightweight but will be a punching bag in the welterweight division. I do not see Pacquiao or boxing fans buying a 3rd fight with Marquez because Manny has better fight in the 147 lbs., bigger and faster boxer that will compete better than some whiner who can’t get over his loss to Pacquiso.
It’s b/c unfortunately some fans are not rational!
people who know boxing and are a fan of the sport of boxing and not a particular boxer will tell you that all current day boxers are overrated!
mayweather and pacquiao would both lose their fair share of fights against legends like robinson, hagler, leonard, hearns, chavez, duran.
mayweather would get killed in some of those fights and the sad truth is that when they fight manny will be made to look very ordinary against mayweather.
Why talk about catchweight? LOL
There will be no 3rd fight between them.
It’s finished business between them. Pacquiao even won that first bout when one judge admitted a point plus on knocking down Marquez. In both fights, Pacquiao clearly won, why go third? ROFLMAO
That’s absurdity in highest order. That suggested 3rd fight will flop, nobody will watch that. No money value and no score to settle coz, it’s already settled!!!
PACQUIAO VS MARTINEZ at 150 lbs, if Mayweather still scared lol
Marquez can fight Margarito. That will be a good fight. But Marquez to fight Pacquiao? It don’t fit at all. He was toyed by Floyd by too much… and Floyd was ducking Manny all the way. What does it tell you. Manny is not going to gain anything even if he send this guy to hospital after 2 rounds. I don’t even understand why Manny will fight him. If it does happen… good luck to the promoter for this fight will not bring money.
Everyone wants PAC for one reason, he is the true cash cow. Sorry Maryweather!!!
Hey everyone Marquez just beat Michael Katsidi. Please let Marquez fight Pacquiao, Marquez promise not to drink pee and allow Pacquiao to use his PED. Oh on catch lets make the fight at 140.
As much as Manny fans would hate to admit, Marquez already beat Manny, if it wasn’t for the judges favoring Manny it would have been Marquez’s fight. How do you explain 1 judge giving the fight to Marquez and the other 2 judges give it to Manny by a ton of points? It doesn’t make any sense, but I guess it’s all about the money now, they couldn’t care less who wins.
People won’t accept reality, especially when suffering from constipating jealousy. They are not Filipinos but they are afflicted with the “Crab Mentality.” A prime example is Mr. Williams. Like Mr. Lahr and the rest of the Mayweather fans, they kept insisting that Marquez beat Pacquiao in their two bouts. If not for the mistake of the Korean Judge in the first fight, Manny Pacquiao would have won by a majority decision. In the second fight, the fight should have been stopped in the 10th round with that big gaping cut above the right eye of Juan Marquez. Besides, I never saw Manny Pacquiao being dropped to the canvas by Marquez. Instead, I saw Marquez being floored four times during the two fights.
Marquez challenged Pacquiao for a third fight at any weight and he even acknowledged that he is willing to climb up to the welterweight division. At this point in time, that is the only way he can challenge the Pacman, in the same way that Sergio Martinez is not prone to drop down in weight to fight Pacquiao. It is not pride anymore but money that compels these challenges. The big money is with a Pacquiao or a Mayweather fight.
why cant Marquez climb up? He did it on the Mayweather fight right?
@Failapino Hostage Takers Suck
You can always find several fat girls on craigslist, to keep you company for the holiday season!
i always love to see a good bloody beating but to witness a massacre is no fun. pacquiao should give marquez a fighting chance. @147 pacquaio is a beast, given that @135 marquez is a challenge for manny but @147 manny is just surging with million volts of power and will easily bust the lights out of marquez.
@Failapino Hostage Takers Suck…
With a little tiny peeweee no women would stay with you. They will dump you. I feel sorry for you. lol
@Failapino Hostage Takers Suck…
Beyonce is a big Pacquiao fan. Your wife in not even a fan of yours. They look for another guy because she knew they won’t enjoy your company. lol. bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Here it is flat out : It’s because of MARQUEZ fighting style. All of the MEXICAN fighters PACQUIAO won against had that stright forword no foot work and head movement. MARQUEZ moves around the ring and not bad at moveing his head. What MARQUEZ is good at is counter punching on PACQUIAO for some reason the timing is there for him. But if they do fight again I have to pick PACQUIAO he has the better out put of punches. So MANNY PACQUIAO by U/D.
What are Pac fans going to do when they find out that he is just a well marketed fake. When you Pac fans finally find out, could you at least be courteous enough to committ suicide in an area designated for Pac mornors.That way the rest of us will not have to deal with your remains. We’d all appreciate it. Thanks you.
The midgets are having fun tonight. Must be raining and the streets are full of mud in the Pilipines.
Play on midgets..play on…
LOL and you probably believe Beyonce dates Jay-Z because of his looks.
LMAO.
The singer Beyonce Knowles said she is a HUGE Pacquiao fan…why don’t you ask her.
@ elcondor
hahaha. you nailed it. why marquez fans dont want it to be @ 147..lol
I want to call the attention of the editor of this site to ban all the ip address of those who keep mentioning my ex filipina wife. its a bit personal and should’nt be mentioned in this site
And why doesn’t Marquez want to fight Pacquiao at 147 lbs., you moron?!
It won’t matter what weight they met. Marquez can’t handle Pacquiao anymore. Pacquiao is not the same pressure wreck-lose he was in their last fight. Marquez relies strictly on counter punching to create his offense as is complete evident in his fights with Chris John and Floyd Mayweather. Pacquiao will massacre Marquez no mater what weight they meet.
Finally some gets it right!!! we all know that pacquiao is not the real 154lbs champ as he did not fight at 154lbs if he did he would of gotten whoopen by the cheater, now he dosent want to fight marquez at 143, or 144 lbs but at 147lbs??? that dosent make any sense as he just fought at 144lbs, I can only say that he is scare and he ducking Marquez, as he doing Mayweather because Arum knows once he looses he wont make enough money off him so he exploiting him, and giving him easy fights like margarito, who is slow and walks in to get hit, as he did his last 4 fights, why not 154lbs vacant tittle againt paul williams instead of margarito, you pactards catch my flow now!!!!
@Poging Pogi, A lot of people are interested in seeing Pacquiao vs Marquez at 140. The only people not interested is you, Freddie Roach, Bob Arum and the rest of so call Pacquiao fans. What is the problem? You guys are afraid of an small and old fighter. That is the main reason Freddie Roach want the fight at 147.
this is clearly a blog strategy to start a comment debate and increase the number of viewers. fail. nonsense posts. search engine should enhance their algorithms. This site does not deserve the no.1 spot in the keyword “boxing news”
pacquiao never fight catchweight.
Pacman is the CASHCOW now, everybody wants a piece of him.
GREAT article. Amen. pacman cant always get the advantage of weight
I don’t want to see pacman vs Marques.! I want Pacman vs Martinez and also i want to see Chiken flyod vs Cotto .
Your opinion, Chris Williams and Dave Lahr, and the Pac/Floyd’s haters/lovers are nothing less than bs talks at this point. It’s on the table according to Bob Arum of Top Rank the list of prospective challengers to Pac’s next fight. GDP is out of the picture because Bob Arum,is not interested in co-promotion. So keep posting bs article and he might get his wish. LOL.
The only reason why Pacman is not interested to fight Marquez is just because he is too small. Have you forgotten how bigger fighters slept in the canvass?
The Pacquiao that fought Marquez is very different from the Pacquiao today. Believe me, Pacquiao will murder him in the ring.
Nobody is interested on Pacquiao-Marquez III fight except the Golden Hypocrite Promotions. Manny said people are not interested in this fight, but if they want to make it happen Golden Hypocrite Promotions should shoulder the fight promotions and give Manny the right price. Manny said he will fight Marquez if the price is right because it’s not only sport but also business. Now, if Golden Hypocrite cannot put up, then shut up and stop being hypocrite.
“Manny Pacquiao is a product og good match making only. Manny Pacquiao has NEVER fought the best, Manny Pacquiao has NEVER beaten the best, nor has Manny Pacquiao EVER challenged the very best until Floyd Mayweather”.
Max Kellerman
Manny Pacquiao is a trumped up, hyped, creation of Bob Arum and Freddie The Joke Roach. Max Kellerman said it better than I ever could. He has fought in “Coast Mode” and has never fought a slick, fast, talented fighter on the way up.
Always fighters in their twilight years with previous horrific defeats…
Manny Pacquiao get’s a C+ to a VERY VERY GENEROUS B- grade.
And don’t cry about Sergio moving up, he ALREADY moved up. He was the 154 WBC champ, moved up and won BOTH the WBC and WBO 160 belts from Pavlik.
The WBC made him choose between 154 and 160. The WBO stripped him of their 160 version because he had not yet decided at the time whether to stay at Jr. Middle or Middle.
Now he’s willing to return to 154 to reclaim his belt, but Phagiao ONCE AGAIN is talking CATCHWEIGHT.
The Pinoy is too scared to fight a legit 154 pounder.
He’s only comfortable fighting a disgraced blown-up welterweight….at a catchweight of course. For a vacant title.
LMAO. Cooooowarrrd.
I’m a Pac fan & I feel 140 is good.
Nope, wrong again Phagtard.
Martinez didn’t ask for the catchweight. Paul Williams did. Martinez wanted to fight at the regular weight limit. He’s not a fan of catchweights, especially for titles. He’s even gone on the record to mock and make fun of Phagiao for demanding catchweights for title fights.
Now he’s upping the ante and calling out Phagiao, for the 154 belt that he vacated. He’s willing to come back down to 154 to get it on.
Too bad Manok Phagiao is too scared, too much of a yellow bellied coward, that he won’t fight Sergio.
Because he’s Pinoy and history has taught us that Pinoys are cowards, through and through.
Pacquiao is #1 pound for pound. He calls the shots.
1.) The champ sets the rules
2.) Pacquiao weighed in 6 pounds under the limit for his last fight and still won. Marquez can come in lighter if he wants too as well.
Because everyone will say Pacquiao is fighting… Pacquiao leftoevers?! LOL
“Why are Pacquiao’s fans against him fighting Marquez below 147?”
Because…
1) Pacquiao is the boss.
2) Beggars can’t be choosers.
3) Pacquiao vs Marquez III is boring like hell.
“What I don’t understand why they’re so against Marquez getting even a small weight allowance for a third fight with Pacquiao”.
Get real for once, nobody against it, it´s just a waste of time for some. Marquez and his fans believed that he was that closed to beat Pacquiao then. But then again, why not watch the first 2 fights and see the difference. During those fights, they were both fighting in the same division and seemed equal. Pacquiao pinned him down 3x times in the first fight and once in the 2nd. while Marquez had lot of chances to do the same, but never happened. We saw Pacquiao got a lot of beating from Marquez and Marquez too from Pacquiao, but the point where Pacquiao pinning him down made the difference. And now that Pacquiao went up to higher division, gaining more knowledge, expanding his expertises and routine becomes more natural, it seems unfair to match them up again. The problem for Marquez, he is obsessed for the 3rd fight with Pacquiao because of personal reason, more like to save his pride, while Pacquiao treats every fights as an ordinary job. Marquez looked so amateur in his fight against Mayweather and that was only a catchweight at 144 lbs. while Pacquiao is very comfortable at 147 nowadays. We have seen Pacquiaos speed in recent fight with Margarito and remember Pacquiao was not even 100% trained in that fight. My guess, this new Pacquio is a realist and his mentality is becoming more a true politician. If that will be the case Marquez trilogy will be very quick fight and a possible Marquez retirement sooner than he planned.
Pacquiao should fight both Marquez and Morales at 140 lbs on the same night, 6 rounds each. Pacquaio will KO Marquez in 4 rounds and Morales in two rounds.
Katsidis will destroy Marquez by knock out. End of story. lol If not let’s begin another chapter. lol
boho
@Taruk…
African American Mayweather is afraid to fight Pacquiao. He’s the only African American who could match Pacquiao. Don’t even try to mention the light welterweight division African American is not a Pacquiao’s level or Mosley who is too old. Floyd should stop hiding. He need to come up now and face Pacquiao. He need the money for his lawyers. lol
140 would still suit Pacquiao, otherwise Marquez just has far too much of a disadvantage, considering his previous problems at 147.
It doesn’t matter about who’s calling the shots, a move down to 140 would be the fair thing to do, then perhaps silencing some of the critics (well…maybe not?).
Pacquaio doesn’t have to agree to any of Marquez’s terms. Marquez is the one begging for fight and he is in no position to make any demands. Marquez already got his ass kicked twice and he doesn’t call the shots. Too bad so sad!!!
Marquez is too good. But Pacquiao has to fight african-American this time. Nothing bad about Marquez, again he is good… but he is not a good attraction. I can see their drums are beating, he gave Manny a competitive fight before… but that was long time ago. Same thing…Manny lost a KO to Torrecampo long time ago and you mean he is to fight this game again for a revenge? NO WAY?. To face these guy again no longer important… Manny would eat them alive and Manny will beg the referee to stop the fight. Manny is on different level now. going back to Marquez, is a backward step and people will say…. JMM is an easy prey. So Forget about JMM. No way I will watch that fight and it is just a waste of Manny last fight. Got that?
Interesting how you speak for an entire group of people… I am a Pacquiao fan and think the fight should be at 143 at most.
Sorry but this article is beyond presumptuous and borderlines on arrogance.
@Failapino Hostage Takers Suck…
Hey with a tiny little peewee. Martinez vacated the Jr. middleweight because he’s not comfortable at that weight. That’s why he fought Williams at middleweight catchweight 158 lbs. Now he wants to move down? He just want a big paycheck. If you have commonsense I think you don’t have. You would understand that. He’s a middleweight and asking a welterweight to fight him? That’s a shamed. He could fight Bute or move up to fight Pascal after Pascal will kill Hopkins. If he wants to prove that he’s tough he should not ask a smaller guy instead ask a bigger guy.
I want to see the fight at 140-145 lbs. Pacquaio is just too much for Marquez at 147 lbs.
Dude,y is everyone so quick to shoot down pac. Look at all the guy has accomplished. No other fighter in history has done that. So get off mayweather’s d*ck and stop hating on Pac. Mayweather does the same things with his opponents. He made Marquez jump up a weight class and came in overweight himself, yet he gets nothing but props for that. He fought mosley, who seems to be over the hill one year later if fights Pac. He whooped Marg, who beat Martinez if you remember (for those who like to say May beat Marquez so he would be beat Pac).
Weight advantage? You mean like the one Mayweather had with 2 pounds over in his fight with Marquez?
Sorry but when Marquez is on top, he can start calling the shots on what weight he wants to fight. Until then, he should just get in line like the rest of them and be happy to get a big payday.
See that’s how it goes when you’re just one of many challengers…and not the champ. Is that a hard concept for you to grasp?
Pactards = just excuse makers now.
Mosley? Shot, past prime. we can justify that silly 142 catchweight demand. (Sounds like a duck to me…)
Marquez? Old, no longer a threat, (which makes no sense – if he’s no longer a threat, why are you refusing to fight at 140 and demanding 147 instead?) Sounds like a duck to me….
Martinez? Oh, too big, even though Sergio is willing to return to 154 to reclaim his belt (yup, a lot of Phagtards don’t know that the vacant belt Phagiao fought Margarito for – at a catchweight of course, SMH – was the very belt Sergio vacated when he won the 160 belt against Pavlik). So for the Pactards complaining that Sergio needs to move UP to 168 to fight Bute, and bigger guys, Sergio ALREADY moved up, he won at 154, then moved up to 160 and won there as well. Didn’t need or ask for a catchweight. Oh BURN!)
Excuses, excuses, excuses.
it doesnt matter pacman would murder marquez now at any weight 140 or above be realistic total mismatch wasnt before but its totally different now
Easy answer.
Pinoys = cowards.
