I think this fight with even lead to a 5th Pac vs Marquez fight, or something else entirely.
I don't see Pacquiao winning this fight, I don't even trust the judges to judge this fight right, if we really wanna believe that the Bradley Vs Pac fight was rigged, then so could this fight.
That would easily create a Pac vs Marquez 5 fight. Which would be music to Bob Arum's ears.
My Prediction : Juan Marquez by SD
Marquez is not a godlike boxer but he knows how to fight Manny
Marquez does get hit but knows how to survive
My point is Manny's style is not the problem you think for Juan
Obviously by fighting at a high pace I don't mean just run in swinging but to keep Marquez working.
As for Hatton,base nothing on that fight!!Ricky was coming in with his hands low and taking the punches
I think there is a chance Pacquiao loses this one badly.Everytime they fight,it's Pacquiao who struggled more
I think Marquez's strength at the weight surprised Pac in the last fight.
I reckon Pac will get the win this time, slightly clearer.
Shame because JMM deserves 1-2 of the fights as a win on his record.
It'll leave people making the wrong conclusion Pac was better once and for all.
YES. If Manny can establish his position and not let Marquez establish position he can win a clear win or via KO. I have feeling Marquez will not be able to hide from the left this time.
Someone mentioned Hatton KO. Pac was positioned perfectly against Hatton when he threw that LEFT HOOK, he also kd Marquez with with a LEFT HOOK in the 2nd fight, except Pac did not establish his position correctly, his lead foot was inside Marquez's lead foot, that's why Marquez was way to his right, that is why that left hook was so awkward and short and the power was greatly diminished, because Pac did not established position. If Pac was positioned correctly i doubt Marquez gets up from that, if he does get up (which is very likely), he will be too wobbly and Pac will just do finishing touches oh him.
I wouldn't be surprise if he hurts Marquez with a perfectly positioned and timed left hook.
Freddie admitted he have no idea how to beat Marquez.
If Pac can establish his position and not let Marquez establish position he can ko Marquez.
Pac needs to watch out for head butts (accidental) tho. If he is planning on battling for superior position or footing.
So basically Marquez needs to forget how to box!
How can Pacquiao drop and finish him when he couldn't do it after dropping him 3 times in one round.Stop harping on about the Hatton ko too
Watch it again and answer honestly....can you see Marquez running in to Pacquiao's punches like Hatton did?They have fought 36 rds and your basing your theory on his 2 rds with Hatton!!!
Manny needs to fight at a pace that will tire Marquez or just load his punches.No way he can out box Juan.
Hate when people think Manny can just smash Marquez
Marquez will always be a tough fight for Manny
Post bellow explains my thoughts.
Its obvious Manny will end up going with a 4th fight with Marquez at 147. I don't think Manny will risk getting schooled by Bradley again for a lot less money then with Marquez. Cotto is out of the question since he doesn't want to get weight drained again and Manny certainly would never fight Cotto with out draining him. As for Floyd, Manny will continue to run from him so not even worth mentioning it. So in conclusion, Manny will make the fight with Marquez at 147 to gain the most advantage possible since Manny knows he can't beat Marquez at any weight lighter then 147. Maybe 147 will be Manny's charm weight in finally being able to beat Marquez at.08-02-2012, 08:38 PM
Pac needs to go to war with Marquez. Marquez gets knocked down if you are willing to fire back right when he is countering you with a combination. Pac should run in like a maniac throwing as many punches as he can, go back to that unpredictable psycho midget machine
LMAO "Psycho midget machine!"

It depends on which Pacquiao we see tbh...
if we see the Pacquiao that lost to Timothy Bradley and had people saying Marquez shoulda won the last time, then he probably won't
but if we see the Pacquiao that KO'd Ricky Hatton in the 2nd round and made him step away from boxing and become suicidal, then he definitely will
No matter which way the fight goes I hope the outcome is clear enough not to be debatable so everybody can move on. Im not tryna see these 2 fight a 5th time lol
recently, freddie roach has said that he basically doesn't know how to beat marquez. that doesn't sound like a guy who believes they won all three fights. i think they just have their fingers crossed at this point.
