    How relevant is Pacquiao vs Marquez 2 now?

    Mayweather fans swear by that fight and point to it as the main reason Floyd would beat Pacquiao as the fight was only 2 years ago. Pacquiao fans say that Manny has improved again and the weight gain has helped him with power,speed and stamina.

    Where do you stand? Maybe a little of both sides?

    That was the last fight where Manny looked beatable.

    IT's very relevant cuz it's unfinished business between the two. MArquez has 2 unofficial wins over him so there must be a closure.

    If pacman got the balls, he would come meet Marquez at 135.

      Its not relevant anymore. Manny's not going to go down to 135 just to fight JMM again.He's on a diff level now,bigger fights, bigger names,bigger bucks

          I think it was Marquez style that gave Pac problems to be honest, but Pac has grown a lot bigger now and would beat Marquez at 140 and above

            it still is IMO.

            now would i look at that and say Floyd beats him because he beat Marquez easily?.. maybe if i was ******ed, but no.

            Pacquiao had little to no change since that fight.

            Freddy Roach even mentioned it.

            They are just fighting the right people he said... (his own words)

              Relevant to what? In relation to how a third fight would look, or a fight between Manny and Floyd, or in relation to something else?

                  there is alot of relevance...floyd does everything marquez does just better, has more speed, more ring IQ , and better elusiveness. if marquez gave pac trouble, floyd will be even more trouble. For the life of me , I know pac cant decision floyd ever. He would need a big power shot combo and Im not sure if he can do it....didnt happen against marquez

                    Well, the style matchup is interesting, you could say Mayweather is a bigger, stronger, faster, mobile version of Marquez, and also that Floyd beat Marquez badly at his own game.

                    The counter straight rights are what Pac needs to work on because against marquez he had no defence against them
