without the struggle to make weight like in 130, pac could be more stronger and active during fights @135. marquez stepping up from 130, will mean that he will be a bit slower when it comes to his movement and reflexes. both of them will certainly lose some speed, power and stamina going to 135. but it will still be a very close fight between them just like their first two.
I guess you guys underrate Pacquiao on 135lbs. Yes he isn't proven but so is Marquez. In my honest and a real fact to all, Pacquiao has the advantage and Marquez doesn't. Why? Simple, Pacquiao naturally grew to 135lbs. He won't have trouble draining his new comfortable weight down to 130lbs and back to 145lbs. A single pound could make a different. When I watch the training of Pacquiao lately, he was more faster and stronger at 136lbs. So I won't underrate him as much as you guys doing. I would predict he can still have a TKO/KO victory. While Marquez, he is also not proven yet. He can bring his great counter punching ability but needs to train back a new power and speed against this big guys. Not to disrespect the fighter, all I can see Marquez winning on his fights are mostly decisions. Though I could predict some KDs. REAL FACTS: Marquez - Pacquiao I (Draw) - Pacquiao could have won, If the judge scored it as 10-6. He admitted it though and could have cost Pacquiao winning on that match. Marquez - Pacquiao II (Pacquiao SD) - Legitimately Pacquiao won, A too close to call and could go either way. But with the KD. That gave the judge the legit nod.
Im sure it will be another close fight i cant say anything right cuz i havent seen pac or marquez at 135 yet.
On the other hand, making the wt of 130lbs has been difficult to pac. he'll be more comfortable at 135lbs. Weigh in would be the least of pac's problem...
