Why would Marquez be a more viable opponent than Mosley for Manny?

TBH, I agree with everything you just said... Except the 135 part.

Pac is different animal now. But I don't think you'll be seeing him at 135 ever again. I mean of course time will tell but you'll see

I kinda agree with Taeth. I think Pacquiao has all the size and speed advantages at 135. I don't see how optimal weight equates to making weight:

"*Marquez' optimal weight is probably 135(ish)" ring weight 144
"*Pacquiao's optimal weight is now 144(ish)" ring weight 148

Pacquiao is 4 lbs north of Marquez. If age is a factor making weight, I don't see how 135 favors Marquez.

Pacquiao says he is different (24/7) since he last fought Marquez because he now studies fighters tapes and forms a fight plan. His performance in the ring backups that statement.

I don't think we'll see him at 135 either, but not because he can't make the weight. I think we don't see him there because the is no more money incentive for him to be there than there is for him to be at 147. Why should he cut his weight if he doesn't have to?
