People are convinced that this is a mismatch because Pacquiao's become synonymous with cherrypicking.They're convinced that Pacquiao and his team would only take this fight if they were absolutely convinced that they would win it without too much trouble.
I remember the build up to their second fight and alot of people were picking Pacquiao to knock out Marquez based on him supposedly being this much improved fighter along with Marquez being several years older since their previous meeting.Marquez gave him hell that night,and unless he has declined dramatically(which I've seen nothing to suggest that he has),he'll give him hell again.
All the Mayweather fight showed was that there significant gap in class between Mayweather and Marquez.Say what you want about gorilla dog,but he's capable of doing that to any world class fighter from 140-160
