I am a boxing fan and I am very amazed on how Pacman have become a more complete fighter. I am one of those people who were stunned when he pulverized David Diaz, demolished The Golden Boy Oscar De La Hoya, destroyed Ricky The Hitman Hatton, schooled Miguel Cotto (KOed Cotto at 12th rd), One sided beat down of a bigger people in Joshua Clottey, an unbelievable run over a Goliath like Antonio "Tornado" Margarito, and an astonishing knockdown and one sided win over Sugar Shane Mosley. "HOWEVER!!!"... I was a little bit disappointed when the Team Pacquiao (including Bob Arum) decided that Pacquiao's next fight will be vs Juan Manuel Marquez, I mean Juan Manuel Marquez is a very good boxer and the fighter that most remembered for (two fights with Manny Pacquiao) loosing a split decision and a draw with Pacquiao. No question about it on how good Juan Manuel Marquez is. But the fight Manny Pacquiao vs Juan Manuel Marquez happening at 144lbs catch weight? Wow! That is a big joke. I know that Marquez does have an option to weight less than 142lbs this time cause he had clearly lost his speed when he fought Floyd Mayweather Jr when he weighted 142lbs on a 146lbs catch weight fight. But I also know that Manny Pacquiao could make this fight at 141lbs to make this a more of a fair and more exciting fight.
This fight between Juan Manuel Marquez and Manny Pacquiao at 144lbs is no different from Floyd Mayweather Jr and Juan Manuel Marquez fight which had happened at 146lbs. It is unfair. Juan Manuel Marquez is a natural 135lbs fighter and at least Pacquiao should meet him in (the middle,) at 141lbs. Manny Pacquiao is now driving the same path with Floyd Mayweather Jr. Fighting an unfair fight(fighting opponents at unfair weight class).
Message for Pacquiao:
Yes it was unfair when Floyd beat Ricky Hatton at 147lbs (cause Hatton is a natural 140lbs fighter) and Juan Manuel Marquez at 146lbs( cause JMM is a natural 135lbs fighter) and he beat a bunch of opponents off or out of their division. The fact is Floyd Mayweather Jr is always fighting a safe fight(a sissy type of fighting). So what makes you different from this sissy guy fighting Juan Manuel Marquez at 144lbs? Pacquiao should fight JMM at 139-141lbs.
My point is, if Manny Pacquiao vs Sergio Martinez at 154lbs is unfair for Pacquiao, how would you call a fight between Juan Manuel Marquez and Manny Pacquiao at 144lbs? It is unfair.
My forecast for JMM vs Pacman fight at 144lbs:
For the first time, Juan Manuel Marquez will be knocked-out (KOed), and this will happen with less than 4 rounds. Juan Manuel Marquez will be a defensive fighter this time and would not try to have exchange of punches after a knockdown at the very first round(that is "if" JMM would be able to get up and survive the first round). JMMs problem: Pacquiao would just walk through JMM's punches and Pacquiao would always counter.
Just like Oscar De La Hoya and Ricky Hatton, Juan Manuel Marquez might go through some mental problem and might weight over 160lbs(just like Ricky Hatton: 180lbs). Juan Manuel Marquez will be one of those people that will accuse Pacquiao of using PED as an excuse for his lost. Floyd will be more scared than ever and would rather stay off the ring and would prefer sleeping inside the jail than fighting Pacman.
