Manny has an APril fight lined up so the chances of JMM winning are not that good.

however, marquez plans to go all out and looks to knock out pacquiao which realistically speaking is almost an impossible task considering pacquiao's iron chin. pacquiao early in his boxing career did suffer two ko losses to lesser fighters via crushing body shots which marquez is not known for. since then, pacquiao has proven himself against notorious body punchers like hatton and margarito which he's defeated in convincing fashion.

bottom line is pacquiao looks good against fighters that come forward, and marquez being aggressive might just lead to his early demise. if he does stick to his usual counter punching and able finish the whole 12 rounds, pacquiao's offensive minded style might just be the winning point for the judges to him him the nod once again.

in any case, the odds in pacquiao's favor are well justified and marquez has a hell of fight in front of him when he faces the mexicutioner.

your thoughts?

Marquez already did defeat Pac in their last fight!

there is good reason to justify marquez won the 3rd fight. the first time i watched it, i had marquez winning by a round or so i think. but after i watched it numerous times, i saw marquez's counter punching was only effective to temporarily put pacquiao at bay and try to survive while pacquiao's offense never stopped and his high workrate was what carried the action in the entire fight and the main reason pacquiao got the decision.

IMO Marquez won the fight on effective punching but he did not run away with the thing either.

The Bradley fight was a striaght up robbery
