How can you say weight won't make a difference? First of all, many of the times Pacquiao was "hurt" by punches earlier in his career it was from him having poor balance. Like that left hook in the second JMM fight early on. It looks like it nearly floored him, but it was just him not having his feet beneath him. JMM caught him numerous times in such situations. I'm sure Pacquiao felt JMM power because he became more gunshy, but he wasn't really ever wobbled by JMM. Also with the size increase which Pacquiao has done so much more effectively, is that he can take big shots from larger guys now. He was taking flush punches from Margarito, Clottey, COtto, and even Mosley a few times. Two of them have respectable welterweight power, and the other two have exceptional power. Mosley as welterweight hits harder than JMM did in any of his divisions. I'm not saying it's impossible for Marquez to hurt or stop Pacquiao, but it will be much harder than before.
