Does Marquez have a chance against Pac if he beats Cotto?

WTF you asking that for? Right no body beats manny if he beats Cotto, this fooll will call him the greates of all time!!

I don't like Marquez' chances against Pac at 140 or 47. The last fight (against JMM) Pac gained like 16 or 17 pounds overnight, had to be a bit weight drained. He's a bigger fighter than Marquez, esp now, and the higher weight benefits him, plus JMM isn't getting any younger.

Pacquiao at the moment is in his best fighting shape compared to what he had in his last outing with marquez. Can Marquez beat the Pac that KOed Hatton? Can he possibly beat a pacquiao that beat a top welterweight? (if pac wins) I think Pacquiao will be too much for marquez to handle and put him down for good.

your thoughts?

Of course Marquez has a chance. Cotto and Marquez have completely different styles.

I really don't see a chance for Marquez to ever beat Manny, especially if Marquez fought at the same weight he fought Floyd. First round knockout for Manny.

Sadly, i dont think so.. Pac is just to good these days..

in 135 lbs. JMM would lose inside 7 rds. in 140-147 lbs. JMM would look like an amateur against Manny. even if Manny lose he wouldnt look as slow and as powerless as JMM above 140 lbs.

JMM has a chance. He's given Pac more trouble than anyone.

JMM doesn't carry the weight above 135 lbs well, he will get bumrushed by pac... at 135, JMM might do the same as he does at 130 lbs.

Negative. I think Marquez "topped off" at 135, and even then he was pushing the envelope. Manny is really natural at where he's at now (140+) and on the peak of his game. Marquez is arguably declining over his last several fights (although he still beat Diaz by way of pure Awesomeness, one could say he wasn't quite as sharp as he once was, whether that being his advancing age or the extra weight or both, I don't know).

Also, Marquez has been successful against Pacquiao because of his great timing abilities. If those counter punching abilities start to slide and his timing isn't as good as it was, he'll get punished by Pacquiao.
