Marquez gives Pacquiao fits on any day of the week, at any weight.
Also, I tried to give you green k for an earlier post, but I've got to spread it around. I'll get you on the rebound.

I don't understand the issue with the weight. JMM comes in around 144 anyway and even came in at 148 against Katsidis. The reason Floyd gets ***** is because he agreed to a certain weight and broke contract by coming in heavier. Truth is, we don't even know how heavy Floyd was at fight time, but the size difference was quite evident. .

People also forget that marquez didn't perform so well against pac because of speed he was battering pack becasue he stayed in the pocket and timed the crap out of him. Marquez has proven that he can still very much do that.

Originally posted by pistol whip View PostNo problem thanks a lot! but people forget that manny hasn't exactly upgraded his game all that much since he last fought Marquez. He had the right hand in the second marquez fight and the same skills he showed against De la Hoya are the same skills he's been showing for the past 3 years.

A lot of people (mainly casuals) think Manny is this whole different animal at 140 +, because of what? Cotto and Hatton? Margarito, Clottey, and Mosley were all weak fights, and easy wins.
And like you said, Pacquiao had the right hand devolped already in the second Marquez fight.
Perhaps his power has increased a bit with the added weight, but his speed has definitely decreased. And Marquez really only struggled with Pacquiao's speed.
I say Pacquiao will be able to put Marquez down yet again, but I'm hardpressed to think of another fighter (active or inactive) who can come back from a knockdown (or multiple knockdowns) as aggressively as Marquez can.
