When they first met Pacquiao was the big power puncher and Marquez the technical boxer, but if they should meet for a 5th time Marquez will be the big power puncher looking for that one shot while Pacquiao will be the master boxer, not loading up but looking to hit and not get hit.
If the fight does happen again I expect Pacquiao to put on a masterclasses shutting Marquez out.
Pacquiao is now the better boxer and will win a technical fight, and since teaming up with Memo, Marquez may have the better physical attributes to win a war.
Pacquiao hits just as hard as Marquez. He dropped Marquez in their last fight and he hurt Bradley more than Marquez did. Marquez being a big puncher is not some new thing. He has been a hard puncher his whole career especially with his straight right. Both men are big punchers and good boxers but I think Pacquiao's younger age gives him the edge judging by their last couple of fights. Pacquiao could certainly score a KO and I think he will be going for one if fight 5 happens.
Manny's boxing skills are very underrated. He has the skills to outbox pretty much anyone in the game at the moment.
His problem is that i think he can get easily bored by just boxing. With his speed and power, he actually enjoys mixing it up and going toe to toe, and can get careless at times.
But make no mistake - if manny chooses to box, he will outbox you. Just ask Tim Bradley and Brandon Rios.
I think he needs to find the perfect medium between boxing skill and brawling for entertainment. That way hes able to generate 800k ppv buys without having to rely on mexican holidays and stacked undercards (unlike floyd)Yes Manny is an excellent boxer,and yes this does get overlooked..But Juan is the superior boxer. Manny wins the fights due to his extraordinary athleticism.. His speed,flexibility which are natural abilities Juan lacks..he lacks the speed but has great timing and accuracy...he is stiff but places his feet very well
Watch the 4th fight. Pacquiao was out boxing Juan.
He got careless last time and Marquez landed a Hail Mary shot, this time Pac will box his ears off
What type of crack you smoking? PAC out boxing jmm has got to be one of the funniest $h!t I heard all year

true. usually when fighters get older and past their prime they try to avoid over exerting themselves in the ring and stick to boxing more. this is what's happening to pacquiao.
marquez on the other hand has miraculously hit a new prime and is faster and much stronger then he was before.
if there is a fifth fight i can see pacquiao being VERY cautious while marquez pushes the action and throws bombs.
Exactly, the opposite of the first fight.:boxing:
Manny is in no way a better boxer then Juan
Pacquiao out boxed Bradley, Marquez got out boxed by Bradley.
Pacquiao has always had speed and power, his big improvements have been in his boxing ability, he has got better year after year.
Marquez on the other hand has made huge improvements in his physical prowess and his boxing skill have stagnated.
Come on pacman outboxing jmm? Haha get out of here bro. That's just impossible
Watch the 4th fight. Pacquiao was out boxing Juan.
