Why can’t Marquez fight Pac @ 147lb limit?
...Everybody knows that Pac will just weigh 144lb max. in the scale. He can’t go above because his speed will diminish, and Marquez can come up to whatever weight he prefers, 135,140 or 147lbs.
...I don’t see any sense in Marquez demand for a catch weight. Your thought please....

Because in that weight, he will not just fall on his ***. He will be beaten up like hell.
Because he is too slow, too big at that weight.
He had only one fight at that weight, against Floyd Mayweather, Jr., and even though Mayweather embarrassed him, Marquez did not have the quickness that he shows at 135, and his power was seemingly lessened at the bigger weight. He also looked out of shape, a bit chubby in his belly. He is at his best at the weight he is at now, 135. The Mexican legend is the legitimate champion at 135 pounds, and has a chance to become one of the greatest lightweights of all-time if he wants to stay at that weight (he can choose to fight at the weight long enough to rank right up there with lightweight legends such as Joe Gans, Benny Leonard and Roberto Duran, he is that good).
Bottom line, 135 is his best weight. Anything bigger and he's pushing it, frankly.
Rehydrating and training are not the same thing. Marquez would have to rehydrate to make the weight but Pacquiao will show up at 144 or 147lbs of muscle, in great shape. he would have the advantage, plus he would rehydrate to like 148 or something.
Marquez will fight coward Pacman any weight but Pacman is scared because he already lost twice decisively to Marquez
It's irrelevant because it don't matter anymore Pacquiao will fight Mosley on April 16th it's already done! it will be announced in a month or so!
Bottom line, 135 is his best weight. Anything bigger and he's pushing it, frankly.
