    Pacquiao has improved his right hand both hooking up top and to the body with that hand, However Marquez has not faded both recently fought Barrera and the way I see it, Marquez was able to put more hurt on MAB than Pacquiao was able to in their rematch so if anybody looks faded I think its Pacquiao, infact I wasnt so impressed with the way he was getting hit by Solis to be honest with you.
    However the fight will come down to this, Ring intellegence of which we know Marquez is very smart in that ring, not saying Manny isnt, but the difference is when Manny gets hurt he trys to pay you back right away, a big mistake against a counter puncher like Marquez, also when Manny gets his man hurt he often throws caution to the wind and goes in for the kill, and I have a feeling that he might get clipped going after the Kayo in this fight.
    I am picking Juan Manuel Marquez by knock out, took me about two months to pick a winner but there it is folks, Marquez is the smarter of the two in the ring and knows in order to win he must use his ring smarts.

      aside for the John loss, Marquez won all his fights leading to Pacquiao 2. And now he's faded. Wow.

          Pacquiao has definitely improved, he has developed a right hand and better defense, his overall skills have improved a lot, footwork, head movement etc. He's more of a thinking fighter now too as opposed to wanting to go to war everytime.

          Marquez has had a tendency to stand in front of his opponents and brawl now as opposed to his counterpunching style a few years ago and that leaves him more open to shots, I don't know if he can revert back to his counterpunching style because his reflexes and accuracy may not be what they once were.

              Hasn't Marquez said he has made a concious decision to be more crowd pleasing.

              He has been on the backburner out of the greats because he is so technically proficent.

              I'm thinking he reverts to type and outboxes Pac. Though Pac is so damn fast.

              Pac is the favourite definetely. I like Marquez though, I want him to win and I think he can.

              He is not spent at all in my eyes.
