I think Marquez is the least legitimate opponent for Pacquiao at above 140. Every welterweight Pacquiao fought would beat Marquez IMO. Clottey, Cotto, Margarito, Mosley and even a weight-drained De La Hoya would all beat Marquez, even in their current condition. Marquez is a great but he doesn't belong anywhere above 135.
His awesome boxing skills will be thoroughly ineffective at the higher weight class. Pacquiao's now fighting at a very comfortable weight but Marquez will again be out of his comfort zone weight-wise, just like when he fought Mayweather. I'll say it again, Marquez is the least legitimate opponent to date for Pacquiao at above 140.
People are only accepting this fight because of their history together and the fact they're clamoring for a trilogy, but the reality is Pacquiao vs Marquez will be a complete mismatch this time around mainly because of the weight issue.
