This.

Marquez has already shown how to outbox Manny Pac twice. Pac has looked great as he has climbed up the weight classes, but he has been selecting the opponents very carefully and that should not be overlooked. The last time Pac was in with an accurate, razor sharp counter puncher still in his prime he got outboxed.

If there was a Marquez who could carry himself at WW I would expect him to produce a similar result, but I just don't think Marquez at 37 can carry that kind of weight and be as effective.
The criteria for Pacquiao's team picking fights was not carefully make the match up. The criteria was the most money. Not the most money for the least risk, but the most money. No one knew he would beat the bigger opponents easily. I could go back to past threads an pull out prediction after prediction saying Pacquiao would get his ass beat because he is the smaller guy.
