Pacquiao vulnerable against quick fighters, says Marquez

Juan Manuel Marquez believes his nemesis, Manny Pacquiao, will have a difficult time beating Timothy Bradley. That’s because Bradley is just as quick, if not quicker than Pacquiao, said the Mexican boxing star.
"You know, Bradley is a very difficult fight for Manny Pacquiao," Marquez said in Yahoo! Sports. "Very difficult. Bradley is a very fast fighter.”
The Filipino superstar thrives on speed and agility, using these attributes to dominate bigger but slower opponents.
But Marquez thinks Pacquiao looks vulnerable when pitted against a fighter with similar speed.
Marquez, who nearly pulled off an upset against Pacquiao last November, said Bradley's durability could also pose as a problem for the Filipino champ.
“He (Bradley) is a good boxer who can take a punch,” said the Mexican.
Marquez also fears that if Pacquiao loses to the American boxer, people will no longer be interested to see a 4th Pacquiao-Marquez fight.
“If Pacquiao loses that, and he could, it would take a lot of the interest off a bout with me and him."
