Well Marquez wants this fight more than Pac, so I think he should have to come up. Pac is a legit welterweight champ now, so it wouldn’t make sense to go all the way back down to super featherweight/lightweight now.
I hope he doesn’t take this fight. I think there’s very little reward for fighting Marquez. If Pac beats him, nobody will really be impressed. They’ll say he’s a welterweight now fighting against a smaller guy. He needs to fight Floyd, or the Berto/Mosley winner at this point. Anything less would be a disappointment.
You’re right though about the bigger fighters. Now that’s he’s the 147 champ, there should be no more catchweights.[/quote]
Yea… a legit 147 champ who’s never let the other guy weigh 147.

LOL. I can hear Arum now; “we want it to be a 141lb catchweight for the title, they’ve been ducking us though.”.

I didn’t listen to the whole thing…but Floyd is FUCKIN good, his defence is so good everoyne just doesn’t understand…thats what kinda fighter he is. So dumb.
For real he’s not UNDEFEATED for no reason. [/quote]
After watching undefeated Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. fight on the undercard of Pacquiao Cotto, being undefeated even if you are 40 and 0 doesn’t say that much about a fighter if all he has been fighting are bums. Mayweather is still great if not on of the best fighters, but I wouldn’t say his record is the best indicator of this.

LOL. Good point. I just mean that if he’s the champ of this division, he’s got to defend it at any weight in the welterweight range.
