    Mayweather/Marquez because Marquez has never fought anyone over 135 before while Mayweather has the experience at fighting naturally bigger guys then Marquez. I don't give a **** if they're the same weight fight night, Floyd clearly has an advantage at fighting guys naturally bigger then JMM.

    While, Pacman has fought at 140 and even 147.

      As anyone who truly follows boxing and can see the limitations of both Pacquiao and Marquez, it would be foolish to say the size difference will be more prominent in Cotto/Pacquiao. Pacquiao's body has shown to adapt comfortably at WW where as Marquez was a small freaking LW.

      Even Roach said they were having problems making weight below WW.

          I think Pac is bigger than Marquez, but not as much as Cotto is of Floyd.

            I agree Pacman is slightly larger then JMM not by any ammount to write home about though.

            Floyd is bigger then JMM no doubt but I really don't think it is that crazy considering where they both started their careers.

            Cotto is a pretty good deal larger, Manny started at 108 but 122 is probably a better place to use as a starting point for this, Cotto started at 140 then had to go up because he couldn't make the wieght well anymore.

                Although i accept the fact that JMM hasn't fought above 135 before, Cotto blowing up to 155-160 lbs on fight night is a bigger advantage due to the fact that Pac will be around 148ish on fight night. Floyd is going to be about that weight also in his fight with JMM. With Marquez prob weighing about 145

                  Based on the promo for the fight on Time Warner
                  I would have to say May marq
                  They meet up in the middle of the ring and JMM is clearly looking up at Floyd
                  Where from what ive seen between pac and cotto its not as bad
                  maybe im wrong so feel free to post pics

                    Marquez vs mayweather is the bigger size difference,its not even close the difference is 10 - 15 may marq vs 5 -10 cot pac.pac should be more comfortable as u can see him climb the division and knock'em down ,for marquez , it's his 1st big jump,but weight will play any role in either fight.
