Nacho Beristain, trainer and manager of WBO/WBA lightweight champion Juan Manuel Marquez, was very worried when Michael Katsidis dropped his fighter in the third round of last Saturday's clash in Las Vegas. Beristain admits that he had never seen his fighter in so much trouble - and that includes the four occasions where Juan Manuel was dropped by Manny Pacquiao.

I like Pac and respect his accomplishments, but in no way is Marquez one or even two dimensional. He is a "great" fighter period. If anyone is deserving of a shot at Pac it's JMM and not at 147.
I don't think that's the case...he can beat him fair and square even back then but it is a matter of playing the economic mode for Pacquiao now. Sadly because this is the same mode that I detested from Mayweather.
Imagine back then, a one-dimensional Pacquiao knocking Marquez 4 times....how much more now? So I don't think it is that at all.
Marquez has been turning up the heat in the desperation-mode as he is getting older.
i don't get all this back then one dimensional and now he's a complete fighter? he looks the same to me,his fight with marquez was like 5 fights ago?.and i still see the same pac.he fights the same,he's just as quick,he still gets hit a lot,it's not like he' turned into a skilled fighter,i don't see it,it's only his quickness,thats it,oscar,margarito,clottey said it...i don't see anything different now than from when he fought marquez,marquez is a better fighter all around,the only thing manny has on him is quickness and that he's able to carry the weight with him,which is the only reason i feel he'll win the fight now,if they do fight,

I don't know if you've been watching Pacquiao after JMM. Pacquiao didn't have the:
• LEAD RIGHT HOOKS
• LEAD RIGHT CHECK HOOKS
• IN AND OUT FOOTWORK
Whereas back then he was strictly a 1-1-2 puncher. Specifically against Marquez, he was that and Marquez was countering him very effectively albeit Pacquiao had his very aggressive combinations that put him down 4 times...
Ironically, you are giving Pacquiao serious props. Only Manny Pacquiao, would get accused of "cherry picking" the likes of Ricky Hatton, Miguel Cotto, Joshua Clottey, and Antonio Margarito. While giving up a significant size advantage, by the way. Margarito, Cotto, Clottey would beat the **** out of Marquez anyday.
YUP!! Let's not forget that Diaz and Katsidis have the perfect style for Marquez!! Fighting Diaz wasn't even necessary since he just LOST Malignaggi and was already KO'd by Marquez in their first fight. And Katsidis LOST to Diaz and Casamayor (another KO victim of Marquez)!!

Ha ha ha bullshi+. Even Freddie Roach said that Pac's best victory in his opinion was the second fight against Morales because he saw that Pac had made the transition from just a pure left-handed brawler to a complete fighter with power in both hands. And why the **** must every pac fanboy bring up the four knockdowns? It aint about getting knocked down, it's about whether you get up or not. If anything Marquez was more impressive in those fights (especially the first one) because even though he was dropped he still made it a competitive and close fight.
