Ill say it right now. Marquez still has enough left in the tank so if he gets knocked out, credit goes to Pacman.
Pacquaio hasn't weighted in at the 135 since 6/2008 when he fought David Diaz. But you can be sure that Pac would not go above the weight limit and it's likely that they would not be 5 lbs apart on the night of the fight.

He hasn't gotten a knock-out in his last 3 fights. Does this mean that his killer instinct had waned or that he's on decline, or both? So there is a high possibility that this fight will go the distance.

Manny has gotten criticisms for fighting for a belt at a catchweight but I don't hear any positive remarks with regards to him putting his belt on the line at a catchweight.
and whats more, i'm pretty sure Manny's last three fights were Clottey, Margarito & Mosley... And he did a pretty good job of immasculating all three... Which is just about as close as your likely to get to stopping those guys.

Marquez had Pacquiao on a string in thier second fight but sat a knifes edge the whole fight. I'm pretty sure that knife is gonna cut him in half this time around.
