By Manuel Perez: Well, it appears that I’m not the only who thinks that Manny Pacquiao is going to have his backside handed to him when he eventually fights Floyd Mayweather Jr. I’m now hearing the latest boxing news that the great Juan Manuel Marquez also sees Mayweather as beating Pacquiao, and beating easily.
Oh, that’s not good news for some of Pacquiao’s most loyal fans, many of who see him as infallible and almost unbeatable. It looks like Marquez doesn’t see Pacquiao that way, and while we’re at it, neither do I.
This is a fight that Pacquiao needs to end his career, like his trainer Freddie Roach has been talking about. How can Pacquiao continue after he receives the beating of his life against Mayweather? This is going to be a wonder slaughter. I don’t wish for Pacquiao to be destroyed, but it will be an interesting fight because of Mayweather’s boxing talent and speed.
The natural outcome, though, will be a battered, bleeding Pacquiao trying to pick himself up off the canvas while the referee motions for the ringside doctor to bring in the stretcher. I’m sure that Pacquiao will fight his heart out in this fight, but in the end, Mayweather will have too much speed, quickness and size for the Filipino to deal with and will knock Pacquiao out in the 6th or 7th rounds.
Why won’t Pacquiao last as long as Juan Manuel Marquez, you might ask? Well, I think Marquez is a much better fighter, a lot tougher, with a better chin a bigger heart than Pacquiao. This is why Pacquiao will be knocked out around the midpoint of the fight. The good thing is I’m sure Pacquiao will go down swinging, albeit wildly before he hits the canvas for the final time.
I think this is going to be a three or four knockdown affair with Mayweather dropping Pacquiao in various parts of the ring as if he’s delivering newspapers. Pacquiao is probably going to look a little silly by the time this fight is over, but at least it’ll be entertaining.
People say that Mayweather doesn’t give boxing fans their monies worth. Well, believe me, this fight is going to be worth every last penny for the fans and I’m on it as soon as they announce the fight. I’ll be there at ringside with my camera and press cap ready for this one.
I half expect that Roach will try to convince Pacquiao to pack it in after the second knockdown when he sees that the fight is a lost cause. He might as well say that after the 1st round because Pacquiao is going to have Mayweather’s gloves tattooed to his face by that time. But Pacquiao will shake his head at Roach, and probably say “I…ah…want to keep…ah…fighting.”
Roach will have no other choice but to let the horrendous mismatch continue. After the 3rd or the 4th knockdown, the referee will likely just stop the fight out of mercy for Pacquiao while Roach rushes in to tend to his fallen fighter, cradling his head like a baby while the stretcher is brought into the ring to take Pacquiao away.
