    Marquez spent 100 years at featherweight. He lost to Floyd at welterweight then jumped straight back down to lightweight. I think it's pretty clear Marquez was never a welter.

    Ortiz is naturally much bigger and younger than him. Even if less skilled he is clearly more dangerous.

    Marquez isn't a welter or he would have remained there or around there after the Floyd failure.

    Ortiz just seems too raw to pose any problem for Floyd. There is no doubt at all to the outcome of this fight to me whereas with Manny and Marquez, I believe there is a chance that even with the added weight, Marquez may still pose stylistic problems for Manny.

    if floyd sits ringside at your most recent fight, where you have the best performance of your young career and you end up beating an up and coming superstar...turning you into a young superstar yourself...and he then picks you to fight him as his first fight in over a year.... you can be sure you're gonna get destroyed.

    i'd take marquez over ortiz if they met.

    I misunderstood the question.

    Marquez has already beat Pac twice IMO. However, I believe this Pac, at this weight, is going to stop him.

    Ortiz-Floyd is a complete unknown. If Floyd wins easy everyone will say it was expected. If FLoyd loses most "experts" will say he's clearly past his best.

    So, on paper, Marquez is a far tougher opponent. If Marquez-Pac is close it will be nothing we haven't seen already.

    Even tough Marquez is the smaller man, he is the technician that gives Manny problems.

    P4P Marquez is a better fighter than Ortiz but how good is he at welterweight.

    His only fight at welterweight against Floyd Mayweather, he looked terrible. Being that it was Floyd though, you could point to it being more of a bad matchup for him than the weight or a combination of both.

    One thing was clear in that fight was Marquez didn't have power. Mayweather laughed at his punches and i think in his previous fights with Pacquiao that the reason he had so much success was because he was able to get Pacquiao to respect his punching power combined with the fact he had excellent timing, good footwork and he could land in combinations.

    What we do know about Ortiz is that his speed, size, ability and most importantly his power have carried up to welterweight and as proof, he is coming off his best win against a top welterweight in Berto who he beat decisively.

    Based on their credentials at welterweight, Ortiz is the tougher opponent but if Marquez is able to perform against Pacquiao like he did in their previous fights, he's the tougher opponent.

    Personally I think Ortiz because I think he is gonna take Mayweather out. I see history repeating itself again as in 1991 and 2003/4. In 1991 Sugar Ray Leonard came out of almost 2 years of inactivity and got scrambled by Terry Norris. In 2003/2004 Roy Jones Jr who was thought unbeatable was lucky to escape with a win then taken out in 2 rounds by Antonio Tarver.

    Both Leonard and Jones relied on incredible speed and when they slowed half a step in seemed they were highly beatable. Mayweather I believe will meet the same fate on September 17th.

    As i have said many times before, just my opinion--I may be wrong (and have been many times here in the last 8 years).

    I voted Ortiz. Pac has already faced Marquez and knows what is getting himself into.
