    Except that in the first fight where Marquez was prime, Pac didn't give up any physical advantages to Marquez... they both were equal physically.

    In the second fight, Marquez was older and had gave physical advantages to Pacquiao but Marquez's skill kept him game...

    This time around declined even more physically JMM, will face a PHYSICALLY PEAKED paquiao natural or not (you decide) but this fight if competitive will be because of Marquez's skills because he carries no Physical advantages over Pacquiao much less then part 2.

    Bull****. Even the most ******ed of *******s know that PAC is going into
    with all the advantages and this is Pac's fight to lose. No need to set up excuses(something you're kind is well known for).

    First match they were about equal physically but it was one of raw Pac's first fights at prime Marquez's career weight, he wouldn't have been as adjusted to it as Marquez was.

    2nd fight was Pac's last at 130 and he might've been struggling to make weight, that kind of evened things out with an older Marquez who had moved up from his prime weight. Marquez looked just as strong as Pac.

    Third fight will be Pac at his optimal weight, pretty much at his peak as a fighter. Marquez will definately be at a disadvantage. If he indeed has his number, this is the fight that will definately prove it.

    Pac weighed 144 for DeLaHoya, 144 for Cotto, and even 144 for Margarito.

    Just like to point out that the extra calorie intake was needed only when in rigorous training. He needed to replaced the calories he consumes during intense workouts otherwise he will lose muscle. He's gobbling up food not really to maintain or gain weight per se but to have enough energy to supply his intense workout the whole day. There is a difference.

    Cutting down to 140 means shedding some muscles, not fat. His optimal weight is around 144. If he can, not having to bounce up and down in weight is important for somebody his age. The same principle as Floyd's. They are the cash cows of boxing. Other fighters have to accommodate their terms to a greater extent if they want to fight.

    At first, one would think that the only way you're gonna satisfy this guy and beat his argument is by having a time machine and bringing the prime JMM of '04 (from the 1st JMM-Pac fight) and have him fight the Pac of today. But then if you indeed somehow managed to do that, he might just say, "GTFOH! That's [still] not fair 'coz this prime version of JMM is a featherweight."

    In other words, give it up FORMIDABLE, I don't think your guy will ever be given any credit.
