pick one of these two fights for Manny Pacquiao

Marquez, weighing 142 against Floyd, had none of the speed, reflexes, or power that allowed him to fight Pacquiao the way he did at 126 and 130. Whereas Pacquiao hasn't lost that much moving up, Marquez loses everything that allowed him to counter Pac's speed and power.
Weight had EVERYTHING to do with Floyd vs. JMM. Floyd is a great welterweight. JMM is a bad welterweight. Same situation with Pac, Pac would show him respect for a round or two and as soon as he realized Marquez was much slower, had no power, and was not able to counter him like he did before, Pac would destroy him.Comment

he lost speed I agree but not reflexes he was fighting with a different game plane against Mayweather JMM was stalking and trying to pressure Floyd you should not use that fight as an example of how a Pacquiao fight would beMarquez, weighing 142 against Floyd, had none of the speed, reflexes, or power that allowed him to fight Pacquiao the way he did at 126 and 130.
