If i was him, i'd stay in that comfortable chair because the "PACMAN" is just waiting and he's gonna regret his decision coming out retirement.

I don't care if he's taller and maybe faster than Manny. He will find a way and KO him out senseless.

Well there will be a superfight in Dec... that is for sure involving Mayweather.

They both have quick punches but 140 is not pacquiao's natural weight. I sworn pacquiao got hurt in the Hatton fight even it didn't last long.

The best boxer is back in town... Everyone else is just competing for #2.

It'd be funny if PBF lost to JMM. Marquez is no slouch. I wouldn't be looking ahead if I were him

No doubt.

I say PBF wins, but it's not a guarantee. PBF's speed will be the deciding factor.

It's just funny how people talk like JMM is some kind of busy/tune up fight. Does any one know for sure the weight, I've been hearing 147 and 144

I say it will be 143.5.... It will not be at 147....

I think it would be better for mayweather for it to be lower to tell you the truth. He has looked his best at or near 140...

My biggest gripe with this is JMM's last fight with Juan Diaz. Had Diaz had Mayweather or Pacquiao power, the fight would've ended in the early rounds. Moving up a weight class and a half, as good as Marquez is, doesn't help him.

True, but Mayweather hasn't fought at 140 in 4 years, plus he's coming back from a 18 month layoff.

I don't know what to make of the Diaz fight compare to Mayweather. He is such a high volume puncher and Floyd like to play defense and counter punch. It doesn't help that JMM is such a slow starter. So if you have a slow starter and a guy that loves the shoulder rolls, the fight will not be a bit different. Personally I never thought Floyd was much of a power puncher and JMM can take a pretty good punch. Yes he gets KD but I don;t think he's been hurt.

It is a bitch move by Mayweather to fight a guy who was a year ago fighting at 126. He has never fought a real legit welterweight and he is fighting a junior lightweight... way to show you are a MAN.

Damn...um...damn...

Well to be fair (sort of), Marquez did beat two highly rated lightweights in Casamayor and Juan Diaz.
