How relevant is Pacquiao vs Marquez 2 now?

[ny123]

pac destroys jmm at 140 and up it would be almost sad to watch a great little warrior like marquez getting stopped so brutally and so early in the fight. if this fight was made after the last one they had at a lower weight i would say it would be a 50-50 but right now it would be a massacre

i think manny is the same fighter that fought marquez in the 2nd fight the only difference is he's not fighting marquez

It's relevant in that Pacquiao will never be able to completely nullify the problems Marquez gave him, and Mayweather presents many of the same challenges.

However, all you have to do is look from the first Marquez fight to the second to see Pacquiao's improvement, and he has gotten better since that fight as well, so it's not like that fight is a manual on how to beat Pacquiao now.

pac is much stronger at jrww and ww and seems to take a better punch. i dont see a scenario where jmm even makes this fight close.

PAc has improved, but then again the leap from Marquez @ 135 to Mayweather @ 147 is vast to say the least. Marquez is a good fighter, but hell he was having major problems against Juan Diaz shortly after Pac went life and death with him, Imagine what Floyd would do to Diaz, it'd be sadistic.

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.

So you're saying Floyd didn't have the balls to meet him at 135.

Nice.

if floyd can drain himself to 135 he would still dominate marquez....lol did you watch the fight it was like a teacher with a student giving a boxing lesson

[boxasmash]

Also, do you think Floyd would stand square up with Pac like Marquez did? Or elect to move like against ODLH and Hatton?

Floyd seems far more confrontational since he came back, attacked Mosley and Marquez from the get go. Freddie seems to think it's because he's lost his legs... Will be interesting.

Although Mayweather is a lot faster, the weight definitely didn't help Marquez. Marquez looked like a damn snail in that fight, I'm sure he'd have done better at a lower weight.

At 135, it will be a fight. Anything above that weight class, pacquiao will beat marquez at a more impressive fashion that mayweather did.
