Right, they seem to be about the same size, so where do I say anything about a huge size disadvantage?

116-112 would mean that Pacquiao only wins 8 rounds and Marquez wins 4 rounds. Keep in mind that Pacquiao hasn't lost a total of 1 or 2 rounds in his last 7 fights combined, but he's going to lose 4 rounds to Marquez?

Because of what happened in Pac vs. JMM I & II, Marquez is being given an unrealistic chance by some in part III. The problem is, these aren't the same 2 pugs who last fought in 2008, Pac is way better, Marquez is not.

I'm not saying Marquez won't give it his best shot, or dissin' him in any way, but JMM will not be able to deal with what Manny brings to the dance this time.
It wouldn't be the first time I was wrong but I take this to be a decently competitive fight. Maybe I'm off by a round or two on the 116-112 so maybe it'll be 117-111. 9-3, but some of those rounds will be close wins for Pacquiao. Most people believe Pacquiao will blow him out of the water. I just think Marquez will bring his best game tonight and he knows how to fight Pacquiao. When was the last time Pacquiao faced a counter puncher? Every single one of the wins you mention have been against offensive fighters. The last time Pac lost more than two rounds was against who? I said prior to the Pretty Boy-Ortiz fight that Marquez will be a tougher fight for Pacquiao than Ortiz was for Mayweather and I stand by it.
It's not unreasonable to believe that Marquez will do better then most people think Rant-cat, and what you're saying makes sense, even if I don't happen to agree with it.

I'm looking foward to seeing this fight tonight, like a lot of fights, the first few rounds will speak volumes about the eventual outcome.

cheers
