Pacquiao vs Marquez III: Who Wins if they Fight Now?

[-Blackout-]

Pacman is on another lvl now.. He would KO JMM i'm sure of it, if they were to fight a third time.

[beats are us]

if it's at 140.. i see pac winning a close decision.. we haven't seen marquez at that weight yet..

[koboy]

I hope they have a fight at a catchweight of at most 137

Why? Manny came from 106 and I believe has never fought at a catchweight. He just took on all comers whatever their weight. Why should JMM be given the luxury of fighting at a catchweight? 140 or no fight at all.

KO 1 for Manny.

[Contenders]

Yes, he has. The fights with JMM forced Manny to develop his right hand, which is exactly what he's done. His movement, footwork, balance and defense are all better now. The fact that he had trouble with Marquez was a great thing because it forced him to re-think everything. A blessing in disguise, if you will.

Next time, Marquez gets KO'd. Pacquiao is improving while JMM is deteriorating. Add the extra weight and it's a short night for Juan.

Pac improved A LOT from the first fight to the second fight, but not much so from the rematch to now. He had the right hand and everything else you speak of in the rematch.

At 140, I agree with you...Marquez gets stopped late. If Manny's willing to come back down to at least 135, then I think Marquez finds a way to get the decision this time.

Pac is no longer improving, he's reached his peak (what a peak!) and the only other thing he can keep doing is beating big-name opponents. Marquez is getting older and Pac is still at the top of his game, so at 140 (which appears to be an excellent weight for Pac) Marquez would lose. Pacquiao never did much at 135, so it would've been interesting to come back down to that division to set the record straight of who the best of that division was. In other words, lightweight would be the best place for a third fight.

id probably say pacquiao UD. Im pretty stuck between a KO or UD because pacmans proved he can have him down and hurt. But still Marquez has come through both fights. Manny UD

We have to wait to see how marquez deals with mayweather.

If jmm wins, the final showdown with pac is going to be crazy.

I feel most want to see mayweather/ pac though. Either way we have some awesome fights coming up.

[SlickRikki]

This fight would be real competitive,I would have to pick Manny Pacquiao though By decision.

[m00ks]

Not just the extra poundage, how about age and ring wear. Marquez isn't getting any younger. At 36, it is pretty old for fighters of lighter weights. His recent fights features more exchanges from bigger opponents and he'll be taking Floyd whos bound to hit him with massive shots. By the time he gets Pac in the ring, he's toast.

how can jmm beat pbf if he got beaten by chris john?


seriously the jmm v pbf fight is atrocious.

[Ido]

Manny is at his peak true. But he is vary dependent on reflex and sprinting movements. From here on, Manny physical condition begins to decline. And most often then not, if you are not crafty tactical boxer (JMM, B-Hop, Mosley). You begin to lose your edge fast.


I hope a rematch comes along even at 140. But as of now, I want to see Manny capitalize the most he has in the next 2 years and retire.
